Business Wire
Tegal Corporation (Nasdaq:TGAL), a leading designer and
manufacturer of plasma etch and deposition systems used in the
production of integrated circuits and nanotechnology devices, today
announced that it had received an order for an Endeavor AT� PVD
cluster tool from the global leader in power conversion device
manufacturing. The new Endeavor system will be shipped to a fab in
Europe and will be used in the development and production of a
variety of analog and power devices. The Endeavor PVD system will
be used to deposit metals for power management devices, including
new materials incorporating a mixture of silicon and chromium
(SiCr). Such materials have a large range of resistance with low
variation due to voltage and temperature, making them ideal
resistors for use in advanced analog device applications. The
devices produced on the Endeavor PVD system will be incorporated in
a wide variety of wireless, networking, automotive, consumer
electronics and cell phone applications. �The Endeavor PVD System
was selected on the basis of the unique capabilities of the S-Gun
to precisely tune the compound structure of these new films,� said
Thomas Mika, Chairman, President & CEO of Tegal Corporation.
�We continue to focus our company on the deposition and etching of
new materials that are increasingly being incorporated into
advanced microelectronic devices.� The Endeavor AT system is a
state-of the-art, ultra-high vacuum PVD cluster tool and is used in
production fabs to deposit consistent, high purity films with low
to zero stress values in an extremely clean process environment.
These films are widely used in under-bump metallization, advanced
packaging, power devices, photo masks (including EUV),
high-brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs), and
electro-acoustic devices for FBARs and MEMS. The Endeavor AT has an
easy-to-use GUI, SECS/GEM communication, reliable low-contact wafer
handling and flexible wafer shape and size capability, that makes
it ideal for ultra-clean production environments for both
front-side and back-side applications. Optional damage-free
soft-etch modules and a variety of RF magnetrons are available to
sputter many different dielectric and conductive films used in
semiconductor and other electronic device production. Safe Harbor
