Strategic Acquisition Tignis has been acquired by Cohu in January 2025, positioning it as part of a larger semiconductor equipment and services ecosystem. This creates cross-sell opportunities to Cohu’s existing customers seeking AI-driven process optimization and real-time analytics within their fabrication and test environments.

AI Process Control Tignis specializes in AI-powered process control and run-to-run optimization for semiconductor manufacturing, offering real-time anomaly detection and predictive insights. This aligns with buyer needs for reducing yield loss, improving throughput, and minimizing downtime in fabs.

Cloud or Edge The offering supports both cloud and on-premise edge deployments, enabling flexibility for customers with data sovereignty, latency, or infrastructure constraints. Sales can target manufacturers seeking scalable, deployment-agnostic ML solutions integrated into existing ecosystems.

Growth Capital With Series A and angel funding totaling around 16 million and revenue in the 10–25 million range, Tignis demonstrates a proven product-market fit and funding momentum. This supports rapid expansion plans, partner programs, and larger pilots with tier-one semiconductor manufacturers.

Industry Positioning As a former standalone AI analytics provider now under Cohu, Tignis can leverage Cohu’s global presence, customer base, and service capabilities to pursue upsell opportunities in test, metrology, automation, and inspection segments, widening addressable market.
