Asyst Technologies, Equipment Information Bridge (EIB)
software solutions technology has grown four fold in little over a year since
being launched at SEMICON West in 2004.
Steve Schwartz, Asyst chairman and CEO, highlighted during
the company's 2Q06 analyst conference call that nine (9) of the top twenty (20)
IC manufacturers were using its EIB technology that allows real time, "data on
demand" information from tools to be viewed and analysed in groups rather than just
tool by tool.
Schwartz noted that it now has 16 design wins for this
technology and expects greater market penetration in the future with the launch
of a yet to be announced next generation software offering. EIB, according to
Schwartz enables Asyst to move up the connectivity value chain within advanced
300mm fabs as well as gaining more business via software integration contracts.
