Tegal sells 900 series etch system for RF power device contact etch in the UK.Tegal Corporation (Nasdaq:TGAL TGAL Think Globally, Act Locally Tgal Thousand gallons ) recently announced the sale of a 903e plasma etch To create a design in a material by digging out the material. The circuit designs on printed circuit boards and chips are etched by acid. See chip and printed circuit board. system to a leading sensor and power device manufacturer in the United Kingdom. The tool will join other 903 systems already installed at this location and be used in the manufacture of a variety of high power RF sensors, automotive devices and imaging components. The choice of a Tegal 903 is based on superior process results, versatile process capability, and on Tegal's reputation for outstanding customer support. Tegal expects to install the system in May 2003. "Tegal's 900 Series tools are installed by the hundreds throughout the world in commercial fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. lines," said Jim McKibben, Tegal's vice president of worldwide marketing and sales. "The 900 series has earned its reputation as a cost effective workhorse work·horse n. 1. Something, such as a machine, that performs dependably under heavy or prolonged use: "the 50-year-old DC-3 ... . This sale to a leading RF and power device maker demonstrates Tegal's commitment to working with specific customers to develop etch processes for the ever-expanding collection of innovative applications being reported today." Tegal's 900 Series systems are widely recognized for their low cost of ownership and high throughput. More than 1,300 of the 900 Series systems have been installed worldwide and are supported by Tegal's extensive worldwide field process and service organization. 900 Series systems deliver highly reliable, repeatable results in etching a variety of films used to manufacture MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. , silicon ICs, telecommunications and optoelectronics devices, flat panel displays A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time and thin film magnetic heads. |
