ATMI and Siemens join forces on non-volatile memory technology.DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 1996--Advanced Technology Materials Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :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 ), a leading developer of semiconductor materials Semiconductor materials are insulators at absolute zero temperature that conduct electricity in a limited way at room temperature (see also Semiconductor). The defining property of a semiconductor material is that it can be doped with impurities that alter its electronic properties , devices, and equipment and Siemens AG Siemens AG German electrical-equipment manufacturer. The first Siemens company, Siemens & Halske, was founded in Berlin in 1847 to build telegraph installations. , Semiconductor Group, a major international supplier of semiconductor components, today announced the formation of a two year joint effort to develop new materials for the manufacture of advanced nonvolatile memory See non-volatile memory. devices. Dr. Peter Kirlin, executive vice president of ATMI said: "This program is a natural extension of ATMI's ongoing development of thin film materials for high density memory chips and further solidifies our leadership role in the development and integration of next-generation semiconductor thin films." ATMI, with headquarters in Danbury, is a leading provider of advanced semiconductor materials and environmental equipment. It is also developing next-generation semiconductor devices based on its new materials technologies. NovaMOS, an ATMI division, develops semiconductor thin film materials and processes for next-generation 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. . It also manufactures and markets semiconductor thin film precursors and associated delivery equipment. Siemens is a leading electrical and electronics company, its Semiconductor Group is focused on integrated circuits and discrete- power- and opto-semiconductors. The unique product line of Siemens Semiconductor serves a wide range of customers active in telecommunications, automation, automotive electronics and consumer electronics, including many core Siemens businesses. -0- http://www.atmi.com CONTACT: Advanced Technology Materials Inc., Danbury Dean Hamilton, 203/794-1100; dhamilton@atmi.com or Siemens Aktiengesellschaft Georg-Ludwig Radke, 49-89-4144-8480 |
