Marketwired
Mattson Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTSN), a leading supplier of
advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors,
today announced that a leading semiconductor memory customer based
in Asia has placed multiple orders for the Helios XP rapid thermal
processing (RTP) system. The systems will be delivered to the
customer by the end of the current third quarter and will be used
for all critical RTP steps in the customer's memory production
lines. The Company noted that its Helios XP system has been
installed at the customer's research and development facility and
successfully met the stringent requirements of advanced RTP for
4Xnm node and below.
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mattson
Technology's Thermal Products Group, Andreas Toennis, noted, "We
are extremely pleased with the Helios XP orders from this strategic
customer who partnered with us in qualifying the most advanced RTP
applications for their DRAM and NAND production. They challenged us
with technology solutions required to advance to the next
technology node while maintaining the lowest possible cost
performance, and our results met or exceeded all their
expectations. This order once again demonstrates Mattson's
continued strength in delivering the advanced RTP capabilities our
customers require at the lowest cost-of-ownership."
Toennis continued, "The Helios XP's unique and enabling
capabilities provide our customers with a significant competitive
advantage. The tool has the most advanced low temperature thermal
processing capability, allowing the advancement of future
technology node development. Enhanced temperature and ambient
controls provide exceptional within-wafer uniformity and
repeatability required for 4Xnm and below technology nodes. In
addition, our unique double-sided wafer heating capability with our
proprietary design feature has shown device yield improvement by
reducing pattern-related temperature effect. Mattson's RTP position
is stronger than ever, and we look forward to continuing to advance
the thermal processing solutions for the industry and serving the
needs of our customers."
