Silicon Genesis Reports Plasma-Activated Bonding Gaining Industry Recognition.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2003 Silicon Genesis Corporation (SiGen), a leading developer of innovative Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) wafer technologies, reports that plasma-activated bond technologies have gained industry acceptance as the principal methodology for next-generation semiconductor wafer bonding. Francois Henley, 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 SiGen, stated, "SiGen pioneered the development and industrialization industrialization Process of converting to a socioeconomic order in which industry is dominant. The changes that took place in Britain during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and 19th century led the way for the early industrializing nations of western Europe and of this important technology that we have found essential to improve the quality of layer-transferred films. Large wafer manufacturers have been evaluating our capability in this area with increasing interest. Most recently, Soitec S.A. and the Centre Energie Atomique (CEA CEA carcinoembryonic antigen. CEA abbr. carcinoembryonic antigen CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen) ) will report on the benefits of utilizing a plasma treatment prior to bond at the Spring 2003 Electrochemical electrochemical /elec·tro·chem·i·cal/ (-kem´i-k'l) pertaining to interaction or interconversion of chemical and electrical energies. e·lec·tro·chem·i·cal adj. Society Meeting in Paris. We believe that next-generation layer-transfer products including ultra-thin SOI and heterogeneous wafer systems such as Germanium-on-insulator (GeOI) are responsible for the heightened interest in our plasma-bond technologies." SiGen's proprietary and patented plasma-bond technologies have been used in its commercial SOI processes for over 5 years. The SiGen plasma-activated bond capability has been integrated into a commercially available fully automated bonding system. SiGen qualified the integrated plasma-activated bonding system and released it for commercial production in mid-2000.
