Business Wire
ADE Corporation (NASDAQ: ADEX) announced today that it has received
a large multi-million dollar order for WaferSight(TM) wafer quality
certification systems from a major Japanese silicon wafer supplier.
Delivery of these tools is scheduled to support this customer's
300mm silicon wafer capacity expansions in the last half of 2006
and first half of 2007. Gartner Dataquest has estimated that 300mm
wafer demand will grow by 41% in 2006, 18% in 2007 and 40% in 2008.
Silicon wafer manufacturers have announced significant capacity
expansions in 300mm wafer production in Japan, Taiwan and the
United States. The ADE WaferSight wafer geometry metrology system
is the tool of choice for 65nm node silicon wafer production and is
extendable to the 45nm technology node for advanced 300mm process
development. "To support this latest round of 300mm wafer capacity
expansion, we are seeing new construction of wafer fabs by the
silicon suppliers along with orders for ADE's wafer dimensional and
inspection tools," said Dr. Chris L. Koliopoulos, ADE's president
and chief executive officer. "Device yield and performance begin
with the quality of the bare wafer. Wafer suppliers and device
manufacturers worldwide rely on ADE metrology and inspection
systems to provide the highest quality of product certification and
process control results." ADE will be demonstrating the WaferSight
wafer flatness, shape and edge roll-off metrology system, as well
as its full line of silicon wafer production and semiconductor
process control systems, at Semicon West, July 11 -13, Moscone
Center, South Hall, Booth 1302, in San Francisco. For more
