Leading Memory Chip Manufacturer Purchases Multiple Veeco AP300 Lithography Systems for DRAM Interconnect Applications
July 09 2018 - 8:00AM
Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq:VECO) today announced that one of
the world’s leading memory chip manufacturers has ordered multiple
AP300™ lithography systems to support the fast growing demand for
DRAM with copper (Cu) pillars. The company selected the Veeco tools
for their versatility in addressing advanced packaging
applications, proven reliability in supporting high volume
manufacturing and low total cost of ownership.
This approach echoes a larger industry trend, with more and more
memory manufacturers exploring the use of Cu pillars in DRAM
interconnect applications due to their higher input/output (I/O)
density, improved electrical performance and better thermal
efficiency. “Within the DRAM market, the interconnect is shifting
from wire bond to flip chip,” said Jan Vardaman, president of
semiconductor packaging analyst firm TechSearch International, Inc.
“We project that over the next three years, the annual number of
flip chip interconnects in DRAM will grow 29 percent on a unit
volume basis.”
The AP300 is part of a family of lithography systems built on
Veeco’s customizable Unity Platform™, which delivers superior
overlay, resolution and side wall profile performance, driving
highly automated, cost-effective manufacturing for customers. The
system is particularly well suited for Cu pillar, fan-out,
through-silicon via (TSV) and silicon interposer applications. A
low risk, low cost, high volume manufacturing solution, the AP300
is staged to support rapid market adoption of advanced packaging
applications among memory manufacturers.
“The growing demand for innovative, alternative solutions to
wire bonding in memory presents a strong opportunity for Veeco,”
said Rezwan Lateef, vice president and general manager of
lithography products at Veeco. “Furthermore, this significant
customer adoption validates the AP300’s ability to address advanced
packaging applications in a broader high-volume production market.
To meet this demand, we are strengthening our regional technical
staff to support numerous memory manufacturers looking to
fast-track adoption.”
