Leti Select Trikon Sigma fxP 200mm Metal Deposition System for Bulk Acoustic Wave Application.NEWPORT, Wales -- Trikon Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:TRKN), today announced the shipment of Sigma fxP metal deposition equipment to CEA CEA carcinoembryonic antigen. CEA abbr. carcinoembryonic antigen CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen) Leti, the Laboratoire d'Electronique de Technologie de l'Information centered in Grenoble, France. The system will be used for the research and development of Bulk Acoustic Wave resonators, a next generation filter technology used in cell phones, Bluetooth and WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network systems. "BAW BAW Black America Web BAW Brain Awareness Week BAW Bulk Acoustic Wave BAW Bells And Whistles BAW Bicycle Alliance of Washington (Washington state, USA) BAW Bis Auf Weiteres (German: see you later) deposition is a key area for us, and our strengths fit the demands of this segment; calling for technology excellence on production proven platforms" said David Butler, Director of Marketing at Trikon. "The Leti sale is significant as this is one of the first 200 mm BAW lines anywhere in the world. Their intention is to integrate BAW devices with logic circuits to reduce costs and form factor over current discrete approaches. Fabricating BAW devices above IC will drive this market forward and open new applications for the technology." Claude Massit, Manager of Heterogeneous Integration on Silicon Department at Leti commented, "Together with our industrial partners, we selected Trikon's Sigma fxP after a detailed evaluation period involving film characterization experiments and device fabrication. To meet our aggressive development schedule, we were looking for a partner that understood BAW technology, with the commitment and infrastructure to deliver to our milestones. Trikon met and exceeded our expectations in all aspects." BAW device yield is directly linked to thickness and material quality of the piezoelectric The property of certain crystals that causes them to produce voltage when a mechanical pressure is applied to them such as sound vibrations. This technique is used to build crystal microphones, phonograph cartridges and strain gauges, all of which turn mechanical movement into voltage. layer and Trikon has developed a number of key technology enablers in the arena of insulator deposition, surface treatments to enable correct filter quality on multiple electrode types, and most importantly thickness control within wafer and wafer to wafer. The Sigma fxP tool can be configured with patented hardware specifically developed for BAW deposition applications.
