Trikon Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRKN), today
announced that its Sigma fxP metal deposition cluster tool has been
ordered by a new power semiconductor fabrication facility in Asia.
"We are delighted to have won this order. This order validates our
efforts to increase the contribution from Asia to our revenues," said
Dr. John Macneil, President and CEO at Trikon Technologies. "We
continue to invest resource into power specific technology in both our
metal deposition and etch groups in order to increase both the
productivity and capability of our tools. Power IC manufacturers are
very cost driven and this order confirms the high throughput and low
operating cost of the Sigma fxP. 35% of the top 20 power semiconductor
manufacturers now use Trikon's equipment."
The first Sigma fxP system to ship to the new fabrication facility
will provide contact/barrier and interconnect layers onto power
management devices. Barrier layers will be deposited using Hi-Fill;
Trikon's patented barrier deposition module that achieves increased
film thickness at the base of deep contact holes. For interconnect,
thick aluminum layers will be deposited at high rate in modules with
very low maintenance schedules. In addition, the Sigma fxP system can
deposit aluminum layers up to 10 micron thick at high rate without
metal extrusions, a well-known yield reducing phenomena often seen in
competing systems.
