ZygoLOT Receives an Order For ZMI Displacement Measuring Metrology Equipment.Business/Technology Editors MIDDLEFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 22, 1999 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), Zygo Corporation's European Joint Venture, ZygoLOT GmbH, received an order for ZMI ZMI Zope Management Interface ZMI Zion Ministerial Institute Displacement Measuring Interferometer interferometer: see interference under Interference as a Scientific Tool.

Carl Zeiss (September 11, 1816 – December 3, 1888) was an optician commonly known for the company he founded, Zeiss. of Oberkochen, Germany, for use in its leading-edge manufacturing equipment. Arno Kohler, Managing Director of ZygoLOT GmbH, commented, "This order further validates that Zygo's ZMI Displacement Measuring Interferometer systems provide the performance advantages required by customers in leading-edge stage metrology applications. We are very pleased that Carl Zeiss has chosen Zygo as their preferred supplier in this area." Zygo's ZMI Displacement Measuring Interferometer systems are the highest performance laser based, real-time position feedback systems available. ZMI Displacement Measuring Interferometer systems measure stage positions to better than 1 nm at velocities over 4 m/s over displacement ranges over 1 m. Typical applications include integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for manufacturing and metrology tools, as well as enabling high performance manufacturing equipment. The ZMI's high performance contributes directly to the positioning and throughput performance needed by these tools as geometric dimensions continue to shrink in the semiconductor and other industries. Zygo Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, and markets high performance measurement and yield improvement instruments, custom automation systems, and accessories used in high technology industries.
