A major NAND flash memory manufacturer has placed a development tool order with Mattson Technology for its Suprema platform photoresist strip system. The tool is expected to be used in the development of 2X NAND flash devices. The IC manufacturer is a current customer of Mattson.
"We believe that the Suprema can be a strong contributor to the success of our customer in their development of advanced node design rules,” noted Neal Holmlund, Sr. Vice President and General Manager of Mattson Technology's Surface Cleaning Group. “This selection for the Suprema is evidence that our long-range strategy of enabling superior 'on-wafer' performance successfully delivers the right product for the future of our customers."
