Amtech Systems Inc. announces order for a $742,000 fully automated diffusion furnace system.TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 1996--Amtech Systems 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 :ASYS) reported that it had received a $742,000 order for a fully automated diffusion diffusion, in chemistry, the spontaneous migration of substances from regions where their concentration is high to regions where their concentration is low. Diffusion is important in many life processes. furnace furnace, enclosed space for the burning of fuel. There are many kinds of furnaces, the type depending upon the fuel and the use to which the heat produced within it is put. Most familiar are the furnaces used in the heating of buildings. system from a well respected U.S. based semiconductor manufacturer. The order resulted from the joint efforts of Amtech Systems Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tempress Systems Inc. Tempress Systems Inc. will engineer and manufacture the diffusion furnace, with three reactor chambers, in The Netherlands. The automation package including an IBAL IBAL Irish Business Against Litter Butler, IBAL Queue, three IBAL Trolleys and cantilever loader A program routine that copies a program into memory for execution. systems and a class 1 load station with a mirror polish finish will be the responsibility of the Tempe facility. Delivery of the integrated and fully automated diffusion furnace system is scheduled for the end of April 1996. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amtech Systems Inc. has developed a new horizontal diffusion furnace for use by semiconductor manufacturers, and continues to develop additional models of that product. These products complement Amtech's ATMOSCAN(R), an environmentally controlled wafer (1) A small, thin continuous-loop magnetic tape cartridge that has been used from time to time for data storage and specialized applications. (2) The base unit of chip making. It is a slice taken from a salami-like silicon crystal ingot up to 12" (300mm) in diameter. processing system, and IBAL automation products, modular robotic devices which automate the process of wafer loading and unloading Unloading Selling securities or commodities whose prices are dropping to minimize loss. . This order confirms management's belief in the synergies of these two product lines. J.S. Whang, president and chief executive officer, stated, "I am very pleased with the way the Amtech and Tempress(R) teams came together to act as one in securing this order. This order from a rapidly growing U.S. based semiconductor manufacturer confirms my belief that there will continue to be significant demand for horizontal diffusion furnace system products and services for the next several years." Amtech Systems Inc. manufactures capital equipment used in the production of semiconductors, including the Tempress(R) Systems' horizontal diffusion furnaces, ATMOSCAN(R), an environmentally controlled wafer processing system, and IBAL, modular robotic devices which automate the process of wafer loading, and load stations which load Tempress and other brands of furnaces.
