Mattson Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTSN), a leading supplier of
advanced process equipment used to manufacture semiconductors,
today announced that it has shipped the paradigmE® etch system to a
major image sensor provider. The system will be used in this
manufacturer's fab for the production of advanced complementary
metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) devices.
CMOS image sensors are used in consumer electronics such as
digital still cameras (DSCs), digital camcorders, mobile phones and
video game handheld devices as well as industrial applications such
as automotive, medical and security electronics equipment.
According to independent research firm Gartner, the CIS market grew
25% year over year in 2010 and is predicted to grow to 14.1% in
2011. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for CIS from 2010
through 2015 is forecasted to be 9.1%.
"To meet the increasing demand for advanced devices
cost-effectively, our customers are shrinking CIS devices, which
requires high-performance, cost-efficient tools," said Rene George,
vice president and general manager of Mattson Technology's Plasma
Products Group. "Delivering excellent process performance and
better cost-of ownership, the paradigmE will be addressing critical
and new etch applications that will help our customer ramp
production of its CIS devices for the rapidly expanding global
consumer electronics market. This latest order extends our etch
presence into a new market and expands our total served market. The
paradigmE is now established in three key and growing regions
around the world, and we expect these new positions to translate
into incremental revenue growth as we move through 2012."
