Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. Selects Integrated Materials SiFusion(TM) Furnaceware.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Integrated Materials, Inc. announces that Hynix Semiconductor, Inc., a leading supplier of semiconductor memory products, selected Integrated Materials' SiFusion(TM) furnaceware for its 300 mm production line in Ichon, Korea. IMI's SiFusion(TM) boats will be used in LPCVD LPCVD Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition processes for the manufacture of advanced memory chips. SiFusion(TM) pure poly silicon boats eliminate the frequent routine cleaning required by competing silicon carbide silicon carbide, chemical compound, SiC, that forms extremely hard, dark, iridescent crystals that are insoluble in water and other common solvents. Widely used as an abrasive, it is marketed under such familiar trade names as Carborundum and Crystolon. and quartz quartz, one of the commonest of all rock-forming minerals and one of the most important constituents of the earth's crust. Chemically, it is silicon dioxide, SiO2. products, increasing available 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. production time and generating cost savings for the fab. With the adoption of SiFusion boats, Hynix anticipates improved process stability, enhanced throughput The speed with which a computer processes data. It is a combination of internal processing speed, peripheral speeds (I/O) and the efficiency of the operating system and other system software all working together. 1. and lower overall defect defect - bug rates. "We are excited to provide Hynix with the furnaceware it needs to realize more effective furnace utilization and superior process performance," said Tom Cadwell, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Integrated Materials. "SiFusion furnaceware opens the door for higher throughput, lower costs and easier process migration to next-generation 65-nanometer and 45-nanometer designs." Qualification Test Results Overall results of Hynix's qualification testing data show SiFusion(TM) easily met Hynix's stringent production criteria, which were unachievable for competing products. The testing data revealed significant cost savings compared to alternative solutions. "After testing the SiFusion(TM) 300 mm boats it is clear that these boats are easily integrated into our system," a Senior Engineering Manager at Hynix Semiconductor, Inc. stated. "In addition, we saw increased tool uptime and improved process performance which allows Hynix to increase production of the latest memory products that our customers seek."

About Integrated Materials, Inc. With its patented SiFusion(TM) technology, Integrated Materials, Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., is the first and only company to perfect the poly silicon furnace fixtures solution sought for years by the semiconductor industry. Integrated Materials' unique family of SiFusion poly silicon furnaceware eclipses traditional quartz and silicon carbide consumables by its ability to increase yield by reducing particles <onlyinclude> This is a list of particles in particle physics, including currently known and hypothetical elementary particles, as well as the composite particles that can be built up from them. in LPCVD and trace metal contamination and slip reduction in high temperature process. SiFusion furnaceware improves productivity and reduces cost with the elimination of routine cleaning. Already qualified by 200 mm and 300 mm key fabs, SiFusion products are tested, proven and available now. Integrated Materials is supported worldwide by its team of application engineers and in-country support staff.
