Marketwired
Mattson Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTSN), a leading supplier of
advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors,
today announced that it has shipped the Alpine® etch system to a
leading foundry customer in Asia. The company noted that the system
shipped under an evaluation agreement and that it will be used for
advanced wafer level packaging applications. The shipment marks the
Alpine system's second major placement in the packaging arena,
where the cost-of-ownership and ion control provide key
differentiation against other etch tools available in the market.
Vice President and General Manager of Mattson Technology's
Plasma Products Group, Rene George, noted, "We are extremely
pleased with the evaluation selection and shipment of the Alpine
etch system to this long standing customer of Mattson. Advancements
in wafer level packaging continue to put demands on our customers
that require enabling solutions while maintaining the lowest
possible cost. The Alpine technology was chosen based on its unique
ability to independently control ion energy and ion density while
maintaining a very low energy level in the process chamber,
resulting in enhanced process performance. Combined with our
high-productivity platform, the Alpine truly offers differentiated
etch capabilities at low cost-of-ownership in wafer level packaging
applications. We look forward to working closely with the customer
as their trusted solution provider and to fully meet their advanced
packaging requirements."
