ClassOne Equipment announced today that it has recently sold, installed, and released into production a fully refurbished SEMITOOL Spray Solvent Tool (SST) at a top tier, US based MEMs Fab for its resist strip process.
“Our decision process was rigorous and based on many factors including: process performance, tool reliability, long-term support, and of course price.” said the Sr. Engineer responsible for selecting this system. “In the final analysis, the value proposition was compelling to us. We saw a clear benefit in buying a remanufactured SST from ClassOne over a new tool, or a used tool from other suppliers.”
Win Carpenter, Vice President of ClassOne’s Wet Process Division stated “For over a decade, the SEMITOOL SST has been the tool of choice for solvent processing in semiconductor fabrication applications ranging from resist strip to metal lift-off. Given the appropriate level of refurbishment, these tools are still relevant today, especially in emerging technology sectors like MEMs, LED, Power and RF Devices. “ Carpenter further added, “ClassOne Equipment has established a leadership position in the refurbishment, service, and support of SEMITOOL systems through its recent expansion of factory-trained personnel, system and sub-system refurbishment capabilities, as well as service and parts offerings.”
Byron Exarcos, President of ClassOne Equipment, added “This is a great example of ClassOne Equipment establishing a footprint in yet another top tier MEMs fab. We are confident that our continued focus on our Wet Process Division will provide ever-increasing value to our customers worldwide. “
