Aviza Technology Receives Order for Omega fxP Etch System from Key Foundry in China.Etch System Will be Used for Power Device Applications SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. -- Aviza Technology, 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 :AVZA), a supplier of advanced semiconductor capital equipment and process technologies for the global semiconductor industry and related markets, today announced a new order for its Omega fxP system, with two Inductively Coupled Plasma An inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a type of plasma source in which the energy is supplied by electrical currents which are produced by electromagnetic induction, that is, by time-varying magnetic fields. (ICP (1) (Internet Cache Protocol) A protocol used by one proxy server to query another for a cached Web page without having to go to the Internet to retrieve it. See CARP and proxy server. ) process modules, to a key foundry based in China. The Omega fxP will be used for silicon trench and polysilicon etch-back processes in manufacturing power device products. "Aviza is proud to announce this win as it expands the market penetration of the Omega fxP etch tools into this important region," said Kevin Crofton, Vice President and General Manager, PVD/CVD/Etch Business Unit of Aviza Technology. "Aviza's success with our Sigma fxP PVD PVD abbr. peripheral vascular disease PVD Peripheral vascular disease, see there tool already installed at this customer's facility played a role in securing this order, having firmly demonstrated first-hand Aviza's technology and process expertise as well as our commitment to our customer." About Omega fxP Omega fxP is a cluster system designed for high volume production that offers up to six process modules, combined with wafer alignment, cool-down and two vacuum cassette stations. The system provides high throughput for the high volume user or the option to "mix and match" different plasma sources so that advanced sequential etching processes can be addressed. Key applications for Omega include highly controlled Si trench etch plus metal and oxide etch for power devices, deep silicon etch and bulk silicon removal for MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. and Wafer Level Packaging. Safe Harbor Safe Harbor 1.
