π¨Former Assets of a World-Leading Semiconductor Probe Card & Advanced Test Product Manufacturing Facility π¨
Late-Model LTCC, Photolithography, Electroplating, Precision Lapping, Laser Processing, Wafer Probe Test & Class-Rated Cleanroom Equipment
π Sale Highlights
BidItUp is proud to present a major liquidation auction featuring the complete equipment package from one of the world's premier facilities for semiconductor probe card and advanced wafer-test product manufacturing in Baldwin Park, California. This world-class operation produced high-precision test products used to qualify and production-test the integrated circuits powering today's smartphones, tablets, automotive electronics, computing platforms, AI accelerators, and consumer devices.
The facility was outfitted with a complete, vertically integrated process flow — combining LTCC ceramic substrate fabrication, MEMS-style spring-probe processing, wafer-level photolithography, electroplating, laser micromachining, precision lapping & polishing, and full-coverage automated test and metrology — all under one roof in a Class-rated cleanroom environment.
A significant portion of the assets were purchased between 2021 and 2025, with multi-million-dollar capital investments in late-model lithography, lamination, plating, and laser processing tools.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire production-ready, low-hour tooling from a tier-one probe card / test product manufacturer at a fraction of replacement cost — ideal for probe card makers, semiconductor test houses, MEMS foundries, RF / microwave module manufacturers, universities, national labs, and contract manufacturers looking to scale fast.
