A multimillion-dollar order from Grace

AUG. 16–FREMONT, CA– Asyst Technologies Inc., a provider of integrated automation solutions that aim to maximize productivity in semiconductor manufacturing, has received a multimillion-dollar order from Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (GSMC;Shanghai, China).

“GSMC is committed to being among the most efficient and competitive manufacturers of semiconductors. We selected Asyst because of their proven market-share leadership in 200mm isolation and work-in-process management products and their strong record of support and service throughout Asia,” says Winston Wong, chief executive of GSMC.

Ken Leung, president of Asyst’s Asia-Pacific division says the company is delighted and proud that “Grace Semiconductor has chosen Asyst as its automation partner for its first fab.”

“This win further validates our leadership position as the primary supplier of SMIF products to the China market,” he adds.

Because Grace is expected to accept equipment in phases over the next 18 months, Asyst will only book a portion of the order in its current fiscal quarter ending Sept. 30, with the remainder booked in subsequent quarters.
