Tegal
Corporation, the semiconductor equipment supplier, has announced that
it is entering into a partnership with software solutions company
CIMAC. The aim of the collaborative move is to work on enhancing
operating systems and user interfaces for Tegal’s AMS PVD thin-film
deposition systems.
The Tegal PVD systems provide performance for the reactive sputtering of aluminum nitride films, which are used in the fabrication of piezoelectric devices. CIMAC’s contribution to the partnership will be the provision of software development for Tegal’s operating system, the GUI user interface, and SECS/GEM communications.
