 Gigaphoton has said it has achieved a new milestone with the installation of its 500th excimer laser light source that was achieved with Samsung Electronics. Samsung had installed Gigaphoton's GT40A laser system to work with a 193nm ArF lithography tool. The company reported that it has installed more than 100 lasers in the last 12 months and claims a 30 percent market share based on sales revenue in 2006.
"This installation at Samsung marks a momentous accomplishment for Gigaphoton, as it demonstrates growing acceptance of our advanced ArF light sources in tackling next-generation lithography applications," stated Dr. Yuji Watanabe, Gigaphoton's President. "We are happy that our 500th tool was installed at Samsung, who is not only one of today's top leaders and innovators, but also one of our most valued end-customers. In fact, we have worked closely with Samsung to enhance our light source offerings to ensure our solutions continue to deliver the superior quality, reliability and high throughput required from their lithography processes."
