Zygo Corporation Announces OEM Win For ZMI 510 Position Feedback System.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers MIDDLEFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 2000 Zygo Corporation Zygo Corporation (NASDAQ: ZIGO)is a company that specializes in optical systems & equipment for areas such as optical metrology. Zygo's metrology systems are based on optical interferometry measuring displacement, surface figure, and optical wavefront. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ZIGO), a world leader in interferometric measuring equipment, announces a new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and relationship for the ZMI ZMI Zope Management Interface ZMI Zion Ministerial Institute 510(TM) Position Feedback System. Zygo Corporation will supply a solution comprised of an interferometer interferometer: see interference under Interference as a Scientific Tool. See also virtual telescope. An instrument that measures the wavelengths of light and distances. and optical components to a major supplier of defect review and surface metrology Surface metrology is the science of measuring small-scale features on surfaces, and is related to Metrology. Surface primary form, surface waviness and surface roughness are the parameters most commonly associated with the field. equipment. This OEM win will result in shipments starting in July 2000 and is expected to accelerate as this new, higher accuracy wafer platform becomes a greater percentage of this major supplier's product mix. The ZMI 510(TM) is a Position Feedback System targeted to compete with high-end optical encoder feedback systems, delivering superior performance while minimizing integration costs. This makes the ZMI 510(TM) an ideal choice of OEMs converting from open loop or less accurate closed loop systems based on optical encoders to high accuracy interferometric technology. In this particular application, the ZMI 510(TM) improved throughput and performance by allowing the stage to be positioned with greater precision than the previous feedback mechanism. This reduced the time that the system "searched" for the correct features in the system field of view. "This new OEM relationship clearly demonstrates how Zygo Corporation can package our differentiated technology and systems integration expertise to provide the customer with a complete metrology solution," comments Daniel Hobbs, Market Manager for ZMI Systems. "We are pleased with the continued growth of the ZMI business in the semiconductor industry," said Brian Monti, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "This important new OEM win is a further indication of the growing market preference for Zygo Corporation's differentiated displacement measurement technology and of the effectiveness of our systems integration expertise and support in this area."
