Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation has purchased Novellus Systems’ VECTOR Express CVD platform for its 300mm fab that will be managed and operated by SMIC. The shipment also meets a new milestone for Novellus in its being the company’s 100th tool delivered to China.
“Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor is the first 300 mm fab in central China,” said John Liu, Vice President of the Wuhan project at SMIC. “Continued improvements in productivity are critical in delivering advanced technologies. Novellus’ products, such as the production-proven VECTOR Express, are instrumental to achieving our goal.”
“Fabs in China that are ramping up their 300mm facilities are looking for high-productivity tools that will give them the maximum return on their investment,” said Tom Caulfield, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customer Service, Novellus Systems.
