ATMI to Build Materials Center Outside Austin Texas.Business & High Tech Editors New Facilities Allow Tripling of Materials Production Capabilities DANBURY, Conn--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 2000 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 -- 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 and Milpitas, California. The Materials Center will become ATMI's prime facility for - CVD CVD Cardiovascular disease, see there source materials such as TEOS and TDMAT TDMAT Tetrakis Dimethylamino Titanium and delivery systems - Low-k source materials - Advanced metal oxides - Advanced Copper CMP CMP (cytidine monophosphate): see cytosine.
