Axcelis Receives New Design-in Win for Optima HD Implanter from Major Asian Chipmaker.Thriving Optima technology continues steady penetration into leading-edge fabs BEVERLY, Mass. -- Axcelis Technologies Axcelis Technologies, Inc. NASDAQ: ACLS engages in the design, manufacture, and servicing of capital equipment for the semiconductor manufacturing industry worldwide. , 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 : ACLS ACLS abbr. advanced cardiac life support ) today announced that it has received another order for an Optima HD high dose implanter from a major Asian memory manufacturer. This new design-in win was a direct result of the Optima HD's unique ability to perform emerging implant applications that are not achievable using competitive systems. The tool will ship during the first quarter of 2007. "Getting another design-in win from one of the world's largest chipmakers speaks volumes about overall customer confidence in our Optima technology," said Mary Puma, chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
