Technology Leadership and Process Performance Achieve Wide Adoption in
High Volume Manufacturing
ALMERE, The Netherlands - July 12, 2011 - ASM International N.V. (NASDAQ: ASMI
and Euronext Amsterdam: ASM) today announced that it has shipped over 500 atomic
layer deposition (ALD) reactors for use in semiconductor manufacturing to date.
The company now has ALD reactors in high volume manufacturing at a majority of
advanced logic and memory fabs worldwide. This includes Plasma Enhanced ALD
which provides advantages for certain applications, such as very low temperature
processing.
ASM delivers the industry's broadest portfolio of ALD configurations and
applications and is the only supplier in the market shipping both single wafer
and batch ALD tools. ASM's plasma and thermal ALD systems are used in high
volume manufacturing for a wide range of applications, including high-k and
metals for advanced transistor gates, capacitor dielectrics and electrodes, and
spacers for double patterning, among others.
Recognizing the value and importance of ALD to the future of semiconductor
manufacturing, ASM has established ALD centers of excellence in Europe, U.S. and
Asia for material and precursor research, product development and process
integration. These innovative in-house R&D program investments have uniquely
positioned ASM to bring ALD (thermal and plasma) to high volume manufacturing
and enable its customers to achieve the performance required for the most
advanced semiconductor devices.
