ATMI To Build Materials Center Outside Austin Texas.Business & High Tech Editors DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 2000 New Facilities Allow Tripling of Materials Production Capabilities ATMI ATMI American Textile Manufacturers Institute ATMI Association for Technology in Music Instruction ATMI Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. ATMI Application-to-Transaction Manager Interface ATMI According to My Information ATMI Atm Interface Unit , Inc. (Nasdaq: ATMI), today announced that it is purchasing 200 acres in Burnet, Texas Burnet is a city in Burnet County, Texas, United States. The population was 4,735 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Burnet CountyGR6. -- just outside the "Silicon Hills" of the Austin, Texas metropolitan area -- to increase its materials manufacturing capacities and combine existing operations. Building on a fast-track, ATMI will be constructing 120,000 square feet of clean room, manufacturing, research & development, administration, and warehouse space. Qualifying production is anticipated to begin in 12 months. The Silicon Hills of Texas are home to semiconductor plants for such companies as AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. , Cypress, Motorola, Samsung, and SEMATECH SEMATECH Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology . ATMI's Materials Center will consolidate operations from Austin, Burnet burnet, hardy perennial herb of the family Rosaceae (rose) found in temperate regions, usually with white or greenish flowers. The European species are sometimes cultivated for the leaves, which are used in salads, for flavoring, and formerly as a poultice to stop , and Carrollton, Texas Carrollton is a city in Texas, partially in Dallas County, partially in Denton County, and partially in Collin County.

It is located with San Jose to its south and Fremont to its north, at the eastern end of Highway 237 and generally between Interstate freeways 680 and . The expansion will help ATMI serve growing demand in some of the rapidly expanding markets it serves with its innovative technologies: - Copper CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine. (1) (CMP Media LLC, Manhasset, NY, www.cmp.com) Part of United Business Media, CMP is a leading integrated media company that offers a wide variety of publications and services in the information is forecast to grow almost 150% per year -- three times as fast as the general chemical mechanical polishing market. - Low-K materials, where ATMI offers the industry's only complete solution from materials to abatement, should track the nearly 80% growth of its related equipment market. - HDP-CVD (high density plasma chemical vapor deposition), where sub-atmospheric gas delivery systems lead the market in a segment where equipment, and proportionally consumables, are forecast to grow more than 50% per year. Doug Neugold, ATMI President, said, "Demand for ATMI's products is -- across the board -- growing so rapidly that we need to expand our existing manufacturing abilities. We have designed these additions to allow even further expansion, as market conditions warrant, in the next several years." "I view ATMI's Materials Center as the first of what I anticipate will be several manufacturing capacity expansions to help support ATMI's goal of becoming the company the semiconductor industry -- anywhere in the world. If all goes according to plan, our customers can anticipate capacity expansions in Taiwan, Korea, Europe, and Southeast Asia." ATMI provides specialty materials and related equipment and services to the worldwide semiconductor industry. Related equipment includes materials packaging systems, delivery systems, sensors, and a full line of environmental equipment. Services include materials management, equipment servicing, and thin film deposition Placing thin films of material onto metal, ceramic or semiconductor substrates. See sputtering. . Statements which are not historical information are forward looking, and involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: changes in semiconductor industry growth or ATMI's markets; competition, problems, or delays developing and commercializing new products; problems or delays in integrating acquired operations and businesses into ATMI; and other factors discussed in ATMI's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
