 Mattson Technology has claimed to have received the largest order in the company's history from one of Taiwan's leading memory manufacturers that is believed to be Inotera Memories. Orders have been placed with Mattson that include the Aspen III ICPHT strip and Helios rapid thermal processing (RTP) tools. Shipments begin in the current third quarter and extend through the end of the year, according to the company.
"The order received for this chipmaker's new 300 mm fab for our Aspen III ICPHT and Helios systems represents one hundred percent of the manufacturer's strip and RTP requirements," said Ming C. Kao, Mattson Technology's Taiwan country manager. "Our customer values the proven performance of our systems, which are the tools of record in its other 300 mm fab as a result of their advanced processing capabilities, technology extendibility, high productivity and superior cost-of-ownership. We have been this leading DRAM chipmaker's vendor of choice over the past several years and look forward to continuing to be a partner our customer trusts to meet its aggressive manufacturing ramps."
According to Mattson, the systems will be used in the ‘chipmaker's' newest 300 mm fab for the production of its dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices at the 90nm node and below. Inotera Memories has recently completed the construction and cleanroom installation of its second 300mm fab that is estimated to handle in the region of 80,000wspm when at full capacity. Mattson is a preferred supplier at Inotera's first 300mm fab and a long-standing supplier to Qimonda, Inotera's Joint Venture process and production partner.
