Business Editors

CRAWLEY, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2004

BOC (Bell Operating Company) One of 22 companies that was formerly part of AT&T and later organized into seven regional companies. See RBOC.  Edwards, a leading materials, equipment and services provider for microelectronics manufacturers worldwide, announced today it has received its first order from a new 300 mm wafer fab in North Asia North Asia or Northern Asia is a subregion of Asia. The most common definition of the term is;
  • The Asian part of Russia, namely Asian Siberia; however, by some definitions, not all of Northern Asia is part of Siberia.
. The order, 100% of the vacuum and abatement systems required for start-up, includes over 400 iH dry vacuum pumps and over 100 abatement systems, all to be supported by five-year service contracts.

"BOC Edwards' exhaust management systems are known for their superior ability to destroy PFC PFC

 gases," said Brian Emslie, business development director-process enabling technologies, BOC Edwards. "Our customer's objective is to proactively comply with the semiconductor industry roadmap on PFC abatement, while maintaining the high productivity required in a foundry environment."

The order includes Zenith systems, a process-specific, combined vacuum and exhaust management solution; thermal processing units (TPU TPU - Text Processing Utility ); thermal conditioning systems (TCS (Transportation Control System) A widely used integrated information system for railroad transportation developed by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was later implemented by Union Pacific when the companies merged. ); gas reactor columns (GRC GRC Greece (ISO Country code)

); point-of-use wet scrubbers (Tempest) and hot oxidation systems (HOx).

"Our history and position on environmental compliance, combined with a focus on our expanding global service and support infrastructure, was a deciding factor in winning this business," Emslie continued. "BOC Edwards was able to provide exhaust management systems with the abatement specifications required to meet aggressive process requirements as well as stringent emissions objectives."

Vacuum equipment selected for this site includes the field-proven iH pump range matching required process characteristics across the etch To create a design in a material by digging out the material. The circuit designs on printed circuit boards and chips are etched by acid. See chip and printed circuit board. , implant, diffusion and thin film sections of the fab. Pumping speed ranges from 40 m3/hr to 1800 m3/hr for remote pumps across all process sections.
