(Business News, 20 Mar 2008 )
Novellus Systems has announced that its VECTOR Express plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system has been successfully qualified for production at TECH Semiconductor. The Singapore-based DRAM manufacturer has selected VECTOR Express for its productivity enhancements, low defectivity and high yield at 300 mm.
The shipment also marks a major milestone in Novellus’ rapid growth in the Southeast Asia market – this is the 100th 300 mm tool from Novellus to be placed in the region.
According to SEMI, the wafer processing equipment market in Southeast Asia is expected to grow at a rate of more than 7 percent in 2008. Singapore in particular continues to be a high-growth area for semiconductor manufacturing, with the addition of several new fabs and the expansion of existing ones.
