A memory manufacturer with 300mm fabs in Asia has ordered two Nexion
anisotropic etch tools, the first official orders Mattson Technology
has received since announcing evaluations were under way with a memory
manufacturer in 2006.
"This order is of particular significance to Mattson," noted Randy
Matsuda, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mattson
Technology's Etch Division, "as it is a clear validation that Mattson's
advanced technology and leading COO delivers solid value to our
customers. By expanding into the Etch arena, we effectively double
Mattson's served-available-market and strengthen the Company to
capitalize on future growth opportunities."
The
Nexion etch system is based on Mattson’s inductively coupled plasma
(ICP) source technology and standard wafer transfer platform.
