ASML Receives Order for Its Most Advanced, 150 nm Lithography Tools From White Oak Semiconductor.TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 1999-- To increase its manufacturing capacity in advanced semiconductor devices, White Oak Semiconductor has placed an order with ASM (1) (Association for Systems Management) An international membership organization based in Cleveland, Ohio. Founded in 1947 and disbanded in 1996, it sponsored conferences in all phases of administrative systems and management. Lithography (ASML ASML Abstract State Machine Language ASML Anisotropic Shielded Microstrip Line )(Nasdaq:ASML) for multiple PAS 5500/700 deep UV Step & Scan systems. The lithography tools are being installed in White Oak's wafer fab in Richmond, Va. ASML's PAS 5500/700 product is designed for 150 nm design rule applications with a production throughput of 104 200 mm wafers per hour. Introduced in October 1998, it is the world's first production-worthy system for 150 nm lithography, combining the industry's fastest scanning stages with the highest numerical aperture The measurement of the acceptance angle of an optical fiber, which is the maximum angle at which the core of the fiber will take in light that will be contained within the core. Taken from the fiber core axis (center of core), the measurement is the square root of the squared refractive (NA) lens, capable of a 0.70 NA. About White Oak Semiconductor White Oak Semiconductor employs 1,500 people at the world headquarters located on 210 acres in the White Oak Technology Park near Richmond, Va. The high-volume semiconductor site is fully integrated with wafer manufacturing, probe, assembly, and final component testing as well as final DIMM-module assembly and test, all performed at the 800,000-square-foot facility. About ASML ASM Lithography was founded in 1984 and is a world leader in advanced photolithography systems that are essential to the fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. of modern integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. . ASML is publicly traded on both the Amsterdam Exchanges and on the Nasdaq Stock Market Nasdaq stock market The first electronic stock market listing over 5000 companies.
