Privately-held metrology equipment specialist, Jordan Valley Semiconductors has said that it has surpassed its 2009 financial plan, managing to stay in the black with 10% year-to-year growth, rather than an anticipated 8% loss. Technology buys and repeat orders for the company's ‘JVX6200’ multi-channel metrology tools for FEOL, BEOL and Wafer-level Packaging (WLP) applications were responsible for the increase in sales, the company said.
"Although 2009 was the company's most challenging year, we forged ahead with enhancement of our product line while practicing caution and control on cash management, in order to provide the semiconductor and HB-LED industries with more powerful metrology solutions. As of Q1 2010, we are already realizing rewards from this strategy," commented Isaac Mazor, CEO of Jordan Valley Semiconductors.
