“We expect PDFS to pick up at least one new major DFI customer between now and the end of C19. We believe that PDFS could ship 3-4 additional eProbe 250 in C20. In addition, DFI is getting customers to consider licensing its traditional CV infrastructure. Finally, Exensio market opportunity continues to grow as PDFS moves it to the cloud and customers find new applications. Reiterate OP and increase our PT to $17. Key Points DFI Update: We expect PDFS to sign at least one new DFI customer between now and the end of the year. One customer has already produced DFI test structures on wafers in their fab and demonstrated the utility of PDFS’s technology. We believe that an initial engagement will likely include test structure IP and design environment, modeling software and analytic tools and either a 1st or 2nd generation measure tool.”
