PRI Increases Cleanroom Manufacturing Size

June 6, 2001 — BILLERICA, MA — Semiconductor services provider PRI Automation has increased its Systems Integrated Clean Room (SICR) manufacturing facility to 5,400 square feet, up 50 percent from its previous size.

The new facility, located in Mountain View, California, will provide the company with more capacity for its integrated front-end system and vacuum systems manufacturing. The facility now boasts 19 manufacturing bays.

Officials say the new facility will allow to meet an anticipated growth for integrated front-end systems as 300mm manufacturing grows in popularity in the semiconductor industry.

“We have seen a significant growth in our integrated front-end business throughout the past year,” said Robert de Neve, vice president and general manager of PRI’s OEM division. “By working closely with our OEM customers in the past few years, we have been able to develop our integrated front-end into a highly reliable system that is easy to integrate with the tool.”

The facility was completed in March.
