A top five memory chip manufacturer in Asia has ordered Axcelis Technologies Optima HD Imax molecular implant system, the first order the company has received for the system launched in June 2006.
"We're excited to announce this new design win at one of the industry's largest memory manufacturers," said Mary Puma, chairman and CEO of Axcelis. "Customers today face increasing pressure to reduce costs and improve process yields, as they continue to scale to smaller geometries. The Optima HD Imax's enabling technology allows customers to achieve productivity goals faster, making advanced applications, like dual poly gates, economically viable and risk-free. The Optima HD Imax is based on proven, traditional implant platform technology, which provides high levels of precision and allows simple implementation without complex integration issues."
The Optima HD Imax implants molecules of B18 H22, which includes 18 boron atoms. The tool will ship during the fourth quarter of 2006.
