ASML Wins 300mm Business At Infineon Technologies With Multiple Order for TWINSCAN Platform.Business Editors/High Tech Writers VELDHOVEN, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2001 First Part of Volume Purchase Order Valued at More Than 50 Million Euros Scheduled to Ship this Month to Infineon's 300mm Dresden Fab Demonstrating growing global acceptance for its new 300mm TWINSCAN(TM) lithography platform, ASML ASML Abstract State Machine Language ASML Anisotropic Shielded Microstrip Line announced today that it has won a volume purchase order from Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE: IFX IFX - ["Type Reconstruction with First-Class Polymorphic Values", J. O'Toole et al, SIGPLAN Notices 24(7):207-217 (Jul 1989)]. ), one of the world's leading semiconductor companies. The first part of the order for multiple TWINSCAN systems, including KrF and Arf ARF see a-r-f sequence. scanners, is valued at more than 50 million euros. The delivery of the first systems from ASML's manufacturing site in Veldhoven, The Netherlands, is scheduled to ship this month to Infineon's SC300 world-leading 300mm production fab for advanced memory ICs in Dresden, Germany. ASML's TWINSCAN platform, capable of handling both 300mm and 200mm wafers, incorporates fundamental innovations in system architecture and stage design to meet the highest productivity requirements. Using the proven imaging performance of Carl Zeiss' Starlith(TM) optics, the system supports multiple generations of optical lithography from i-line to 157nm. TWINSCAN uses a novel "balance mass" system designed to effectively eliminate stage-induced system vibration, thereby increasing focus budgets and image contrast. Further improvements reduce sensitivity to environmental disturbances including temperature variations, thus helping to extend TWINSCAN's imaging to sub-100nm design rules. "We are pleased to expand our business partnership with Infineon, which has an installed base of our PAS 5500 systems at its fab in Richmond, Virginia," said Dave Chavoustie, ASML's executive vice president of sales. "This order demonstrates growing acceptance of our TWINSCAN technology for leading-edge 300mm applications."
