Trikon Signs Up Two Leading Semiconductor Companies for Low-K Deposition Equipment.Business & High-Tech Editors NEWPORT, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2000 Trikon Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRKN) a technology leader in semiconductor processing equipment, disclosed that it has recently received orders from two leading semiconductor companies for Trikon's Planar fxP(TM) Low K Flowfill(TM) systems as part of two separate low-k collaboration programs. One company, a DRAM technology leader in Asia, will exclusively collaborate with Trikon on the development of low-k dielectrics for advanced memory applications. The other, a European semiconductor company, has ordered a Low-K Flowfill(TM) system as part of a joint development of low-k dielectric deposition processes and low-k materials integration for embedded DRAM applications. "We are extremely pleased that two of the world's top ten semiconductor suppliers have selected Trikon's Planar fxP(TM) Low K Flowfill(TM) systems for development programs," said Nigel Wheeler, president and chief executive officer at Trikon. "While our competitors have focused on developing products for applications where gap fill is not a consideration, Trikon has developed products with advanced low-k gap fill capabilities. These are not only of interest for advanced high speed logic devices but also advanced DRAM and embedded DRAM." "Trikon is the leader in low-k gap fill technology," said John Macneil, vice president of technology at Trikon. "Low-K Flowfill(TM) offers significant economic and technical advantages over competing spin on glass or SOG and fluorinated fluorinated material to which a fluoride has been added, e.g. water for human consumption treated as a prophylaxis against tooth decay. high density plasma solutions. We are confident that Low-k Flowfill(TM) will integrate into advanced memory designs providing significant benefits in manufacturability and cost."
