Digital MFC Selected for New Semiconductor Manufacturing Platform
FORT COLLINS, Colo., March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced
Energy Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEIS) today announced that its
Aera(R) Transformer(TM) digital MFC has been awarded
default-standard status on a new semiconductor platform by a major
Japanese original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The Transformer
family enables this leading OEM's equipment to run with optimal
process flexibility and efficiency. This OEM's new semiconductor
platform requires precise flow control for today's most advanced
applications. The Transformer MFC earned default-standard status by
out-performing competitive units. (Logo:

platform will run today's most demanding applications,
necessitating outstanding MFC response, accuracy, repeatability and
exceptional reliability. During the rigorous process of qualifying
for this new platform, the Transformer MFC consistently
demonstrated higher mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) performance
over non-Aera MFCs. The higher Transformer MTBF was proven to
contribute to reduced platform downtime and improved throughput and
yield. "AE's Aera flow products have a strong tradition of
extraordinary performance and reliability," commented Dr. Hans
Betz, president and CEO of AE. "Our Transformer MFCs have taken
those advantages a step further by offering customers functionality
that directly correlates to process improvements and profitable
operation for both OEM and end-user customers." With the inherently
flexible Transformer family, as few as eight different Transformer
multi-gas, multi-range (MGMR) models can support an entire fab's
MFC requirements. Pulling a Transformer MFC from inventory,
customers can readily program it to meet their exacting
specifications -- without the traditional time and expense required
to calibrate other MFCs. In addition, running any gas and gas-flow
range between 10 sccm and 30 slm, the Transformer family features
advanced sensor and valve technology, field-proven components and
high-speed, digital circuitry to deliver the most precise gas-flow
control available. Further, once these platforms are installed, AE
will continue to support this OEM and its end-user customers around
the world through a well-established global support infrastructure
in all the major manufacturing regions, including Asia, the United
States and Europe. About Advanced Energy Advanced Energy is a
