Varian Semiconductor's Single Wafer High Current Ion Implanter Selected by Major Japanese Chipmaker
October 27 2005 - 4:20PM
Business Wire
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSEA)
announced today that it has received an order for its VIISta(TM) HC
single wafer high current ion implanter from a major Japanese
chipmaker. This order continues Varian Semiconductor's penetration
of advanced manufacturing fabs in the strategically important
Japanese market. "For the first time, this customer placed an order
for Varian Semiconductor's VIISta HC expanding the Company's
considerable lead in single wafer high current," said Gary
Dickerson, chief executive officer of Varian Semiconductor.
Dickerson continued, "As Japan continues to transition from batch
to single wafer, Varian Semiconductor's VIISta single wafer high
current tools are becoming the tool of choice based on key
architectural advantages. The combined advantages of high
productivity, superior particle control and outstanding device
performance result in Varian Semiconductor further increasing its
gains in ion implant market share." The global shift to single
wafer ion implanters is driven by both the sensitivity of advanced
devices to contamination and the requirement for precise implant
angle accuracy. The VIISta HC single wafer ion implanter is the
only system featuring a dual magnet ribbon beam architecture that
provides the highest productivity and lowest contamination levels
in the industry. In addition, the VIISta HC's unique closed-loop
Varian Positioning System (VPS(TM)) offers interlockable angle
control for true zero degree applications. These features, combined
with repeatable, patented beam steering control, assure the precise
dopant placement required in sub-65nm devices. The VIISta HC is a
member of the VIISta suite of ion implanters - the only production
proven single wafer platform solution for all implant segments with
over 350 systems in production worldwide. About Varian
