September 9, 2025 | Boston Semi EquipmentEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Boston Semi Equipment (BSE), a global leader in semiconductor test automation solutions, introduced several new product lines under a partnership with a leading semiconductor original equipment manufacturer (OEM) based in Asia. The agreement allows BSE to expand its tool offerings and support a broader range of customer needs across test and back-end manufacturing.
The new product lines include a portfolio of high-performance pick-and-place handlers, system-level test (SLT) solutions, and strip and film frame-handling solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of semiconductor test and back-end manufacturing. These systems will be offered exclusively under the BSE brand and supported by BSE’s award-winning global service and applications engineering teams. The broader portfolio strengthens BSE’s position as a trusted partner to semiconductor manufacturers seeking to streamline operations, reduce complexity and scale automation with confidence.
“Our customers rely on us to deliver reliable, high-speed solutions that meet the demands of modern semiconductor manufacturing,” said Colin P. Scholefield, co-CEO of Boston Semi Equipment. “By adding these proven systems to our product lineup, we’re expanding our ability to serve more customers across the value chain. The agreement also introduces an Asian-based manufacturing capability and co-development opportunities for new products in the future, strengthening our global footprint and ability to support our customers worldwide.”
The new offerings reflect BSE’s ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive solutions across a diverse range of test applications. Systems will be available for shipment immediately, with additional product releases scheduled over the next several quarters.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.
