(NASDAQ:NVMI), the market leader in integrated measurement and process control for the semiconductor industry, announced today that is has received a large multiple-systems order from one of its key customers, based in the United States. The customer had previously been unsuccessful in implementing Integrated Metrology (IM) for its STI and Copper CMP interconnect applications in production, with equipment from another vendor. Nova, in a joint effort with the CMP Process Equipment supplier, delivered and set up the equipment to run in full production within several weeks. The customer decided to introduce IM across all its 200 and 300mm processes, both for 90 and 65nm technologies, at several fabs, placing a large system order. Ronen Frish, Nova's VP Customer Relations, says: "This is not the first time Nova assists customers in need, when other vendors were not able to implement the advanced process control integration for high volume manufacturing. Together with our equipment partners we proved that an integrated metrology implementation could be done very quickly, in a production environment where every minute counts. We have experienced similar implementations with other customers in the US, Japan and Asia-Pacific."
