“The repeat orders from semiconductor fabs for S680DC/RF systems validate the investment we’ve made to create a unique product that delivers leading-edge measurement capability without sacrificing ease-of-use,” says Mark Hoersten, Keithley’s VP for business development. “Its unique architecture ensures superior measurement results at the probe tip for better process control of flash memory devices, and provides upgrade flexibility as new processes and devices are developed.”
(March 16, 2005) Shanghai, China — SEZ Group has sold its first 300-mm tool—its Da Vinci system (DV-Series)— to a Chinese foundry, which purchased and installed the tool at its fab last month. The proliferation of consumer devices in China makes it the world’s fastest-growing semiconductor market—it is expected to continue outpacing all other regions over the next several years, according to various industry sources.
