16 Novembre 2023 - 10:53PM
Business Wire
Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU), a global supplier of equipment and
services optimizing semiconductor manufacturing yield and
productivity, today announced the market introduction of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) Inspection software, a new product offering as
part of Cohu’s DI-Core analytics platform.
AI Inspection software provides real-time computation that
enables semiconductor manufacturers to improve visual inspection
accuracy at production speeds. AI Inspection more accurately
differentiates micro-scale defects from cosmetic patterns as
compared with current methods. The product utilizes proprietary
deep learning and neural network technologies to improve inspection
yield without compromising quality. The global market for
artificial intelligence applications in manufacturing is projected
to grow at a 43% CAGR and reach $21.3 billion by 2028. Cohu’s
DI-Core AI Inspection module is aimed at optimizing semiconductor
inspection, creating an opportunity to deliver approximately $5
million annual subscription revenue on Cohu’s equipment installed
base.
“We are pleased to introduce our DI-Core AI Inspection software,
which has received initial orders from two customers,” said Luis
Müller, Cohu President and CEO. “We believe AI Inspection has the
potential to provide meaningful benefits, and up to 2% higher first
pass inspection yield for customers utilizing this product on Cohu
equipment.”

Actual results and future business conditions could differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as
a result of various factors, including, without limitation:
cyclical COVID-19 pandemic impacts; new product investments and
product enhancements which may not be commercially successful;
inability to effectively manage multiple manufacturing sites in
Asia and secure reliable and cost-effective raw materials; failure
of sole source contract manufacturer; ongoing inflationary
pressures on material and operational costs coupled with rising
interest rates; economic recession; instability of financial
institutions where we maintain cash deposits and potential loss of
uninsured cash deposits; the semiconductor industry is seasonal,
cyclical, volatile and unpredictable; the semiconductor mobility
market segment (primarily semiconductors used in smartphones, also
other wearables) is undergoing a significant downturn; risks of
using artificial intelligence within Cohu’s product developments
and business; the semiconductor equipment industry is intensely
competitive; rapid technological changes and product introductions
and transitions; a limited number of customers account for a
substantial percentage of net sales; significant exports to foreign
countries with economic and political instability and competition
from a number of Asia-based manufacturers; loss of key personnel;
reliance on foreign locations and geopolitical instability in such
locations critical to Cohu and its customers; natural disasters,
war and climate-related changes, including economic impacts from
the Hamas-Israel conflict or any other wars; increasingly
restrictive trade and export regulations impacting our ability to
sell products, specifically within China; significant goodwill and
other intangibles as percentage of our total assets; risks
associated with the EQT acquisition, such as integration and
synergies, and other risks associated with additional potential
acquisitions, investments and divestitures; levels of debt;
financial or operating results that are below forecast or credit
rating changes impacting our stock price or financing ability;
law/regulatory and including tax law changes; significant
volatility in our stock price; and the risk of cybersecurity
breaches.
