FORM is a Russian company specializing in the design and manufacturing of automatic test equipment for electronic components and assemblies testing. Among FORM clients are the largest Russian design centers, manufacturers and consumers of electronic components, such as State Corporation for Assistance to Development, Production and Export of Advanced Technology Industrial Product Rostec, Mikron Group, Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities, JSC Concern VKO «Almaz-Antey», and Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation.
Operations[edit]
100% of FORM’s revenues come from clients in Russia. The company creates and produces automatic measuring instruments for functional testing of:
History[edit]
1992-1996 – FORM was founded in Moscow in 1992 and was specializing in design gate-array-based LSI circuits and SAW filters and their manufacturing using «the shortest path»:
- deposition of custom layers of dielectrics and metals,
- assemblage to ceramic-and-metal package with the application of purchased IC packages.
The enterprise also released several options of the computer of the Narсom (the "national computer") - a Russian analogue of ZX Spectrum, as well as a controller Beta Disk Interface.[3]
1996 - In order to conduct the periodic production tests of microchips manufactured on its own foundry, a project was launched to create the first Russian automated test equipment. As a result, the first task-specific ATE for complex testing of microcircuits on a wafer and in a package was released. After implementation the tester to its own production, this test system was in demand by other enterprises, such as Angstrem Group, FSUE Research Institute of Measuring Systems Yu.E. Sedakova, State Enterprise Scientific Production Association Of Automation, where the test systems are still in operation.
In the following years, FORM expanded its product lines into the high frequency VLSI, discrete semiconductor devices and electromagnetic relays automatic test systems.
2002 - FORM entered IC functional testing market with the first serial model – low and medium integrated digital and analog ICs test system – FORMULA®2K.
2006 - The company introduced the first high-frequency test system - FORMULA®HF2, the frequency of its operation increased from 20 MHz to 200 MHz.
2011 - The company has organized, equipped its testing laboratory, having allocated it into a separate enterprise ILFORM, which became Skolkovo resident. The laboratory was entrusted with testing, first of all, of the company's own products-microcircuits, but its capabilities were in demand by the enterprises of the industry, such as Progress Rocket Space Centre (Samara), State Enterprise Scientific Production Association Of Automation (Ekaterinburg), Polyus Scientific Research Institute, MCST and others.
2015 - The software package for Test Systems FORMULA®HF2, FORMULA®HF3, FORMULA®HF3-512 is registered in The Russian Federal Service for Intellectual Property.
2016 - The software for FORMULA®HF2, FORMULA®HF3, FORMULA®HF3-512, FORMULA®HF ULTRA test systems - «FormHF» and the software «FORMULA TT2» was patented.
2017 – The 300th test system FORMULA was delivered to Mikron Group, the number two foundry in Russia.
