New Software System for SemiTest SCA-2500 Surface Charge Analyzer Speeds Delivery of Test Results.Business/Technology Editors BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2000 SemiTest, Inc., a leading supplier of semiconductor fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. monitoring equipment, has released a new software system for the company's popular SCA-2500 surface charge analyzer analyzer /ana·ly·zer/ (an´ah-li?zer) 1. a Nicol prism attached to a polarizing apparatus which extinguishes the ray of light polarized by the polarizer. 2. . SemiTest's new Windows(r)-based software package offers a generational improvement in user interface. The results of this more intuitive software Application programs that have a friendly interface and work like users would expect. Menu functions are available in a logical order that one finds natural. The most common functions are presented in one menu or are located at the top of the menu list rather than being buried in rigid interface are a shorter training cycle, smooth integration into process control software, and more rapid delivery of results. The software system is supplied with all new SCA-2500 units, and is also available as an upgrade for installed SCA-2500 systems. "For years, customers have told me that, once released to production, the SCA-2500 is exceptionally consistent, reliable and efficient," notes Valerie Chapman, Senior Applications Engineer for SemiTest. "SemiTest overhauled the SCA (Single Connector Attachment) An 80-pin plug and socket used to connect peripherals. With a SCSI drive, it rolls three cables (power, data channel and ID configuration) into one connector for fast installation and removal. software in response to customers requests for a variety of time saving and job enhancing functions. This new software system greatly streamlines the qualification process by accelerating operators' learning curve and by simplifying integration with fab data and networking facilities. Now customers will get more savings with less hassle Hassle () is a location in Närke, Sweden, where a Celtic treasure was found in 1936. It comprises a large bronze cauldron which contained two Bronze Age swords of the Hallstatt type, a pommel of bronze, two bronze buckets with ." SemiTest's SCA-2500 has become the industry standard for real-time monitoring of the diffusion process Diffusion process A conception of the way a stock's price changes that assumes that the price takes on all intermediate values. in semiconductor manufacturing. The SCA-2500 detects contaminants (including Na, Fe, Ca, Al, K, and Cu), and immediately senses process changes, equipment malfunctions and operator errors. This results in lower operating costs operating costs npl → gastos mpl operacionales and extended mean time to maintenance cycles through better problem detection. SemiTest's products are sold through a worldwide network of sales representatives and distributors. The company's SCA-2500 surface charge analyzer currently has an installed base of over 150 systems worldwide. About SemiTest SemiTest, Inc., with headquarters in Billerica, Mass., was founded in 1987. SemiTest designs and manufactures monitoring tools used in semiconductor fabrication. The SCA-2500 has earned multiple US and foreign patents. Further information on SemiTest can be obtained by calling 978-667-8783. SemiTest's web site is located at www.SemiTest.com. |
