A Japanese-based IC manufacturer has purchased a Suprema photoresist
strip system from Mattson Technology. According to Mattson, the order
comes from a new account and extends its installed base of Suprema
systems and increases its share of the photoresist strip market.
"Suprema continues to win new accounts and gain acceptance by the
leading IC manufacturers globally, resulting in market share gain for
Mattson in the dry strip arena,” commented David L. Dutton, President
and CEO of Mattson Technology. “This order represents a new account for
the Company; and is the result of our valued partnership with Canon,
our Japan distributor. Mattson is a leading dry strip supplier to the
Japan market, and this order reaffirms the Company's growing presence
in this key region."
“Our
customer made a thorough evaluation of Suprema for removability of
their toughest HDIS layer, as well as minimum silicon loss performance,
and found Suprema to be the superior tool,” noted Neal Holmlund, Sr.
Vice President and General Manager of Mattson Technology's Surface
Cleaning Group. “We look forward to supporting our customer as they
make further advances in their technological capabilities."
