Nanometrics Receives Complete Process Control Solution Order From Major Japanese Flash Memory Manufacturer.Integrated Metrology, Atlas SE and NanoNet Software Package to Be Used in One of the World's Largest 300 mm Wafer Fabs MILPITAS, Calif. -- Nanometrics Incorporated (Nasdaq:NANO), a leading supplier of advanced metrology equipment to the semiconductor industry, today announced it has received a multi-platform order from a major Japanese flash memory manufacturer. The order, a complete process control solution, will include Nanometrics' integrated metrology (IM), Atlas SE (spectroscopic spec·tro·scope n. An instrument for producing and observing spectra. spec  tro·scop ellipsometer) and proprietary NanoNet
interconnectivity products. The metrology package will be used in one of
the world's largest 300 mm wafer fabrication Wafer Fabrication is a procedure composed of many repeated sequential processes to produce complete electrical or photonic circuits. Examples include production of radio frequency (RF) amplifiers, LEDs, optical computer components, and CPUs for computers. facilities located in
Japan.
The order reflects Nanometrics' unique ability to provide customers with an extensive metrology solution, accelerating time-to-yield in high-volume manufacturing environments. The combination of IM, the Atlas SE system for film characterization, and NanoNet software for overall metrology network interconnectivity will provide both increased process control and seamless recipe development and deployment. "This multi-platform order substantiates that our metrology strategies are providing the enhanced process control capabilities needed in the most advanced fabs," said Nathan Coe Nathan Coe (born June 1, 1984) is an Australian football (soccer) goalkeeper who plays for F.C. Copenhagen, in the Danish Superliga. Born in Brisbane Coe started his career with Brisbane Strikers. He moved to Italian Internazionale and later to Dutch PSV Eindhoven. , Nanometrics' vice president of global sales. "Our comprehensive process control solutions give our customers a wide range of capabilities that goes unmatched in the industry and will greatly enhance the production of the leading-edge flash memory devices at this facility." "The customer's hands-on experience with our integrated metrology systems in current mass production fabs was a major factor in winning this business. They recognized the added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:
