With the consolidation of the sales office in Bangkok (Thailand) having administered sales and service for lithography and wafer bonder equipment in Asia and the former Singapore office of SUSS MicroTec Test Systems to a joint sales office for the three product lines in Singapore and with the appointment of ZMC Technologies as general sales representative for Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines SUSS MicroTec reinforces its strong presence in Asia already maintaining sales offices in Seoul (Korea), Shanghai (China), Yokohama (Japan) and Hsinchu (Taiwan). SUSS MicroTec now also operates two fully equipped application centres in Yokohama and Singapore and provides realtime after-sales support for both process and test solutions to its Asian customers. Wed, 1 Jul 2009 12:15:00 EDT http://www.nsti.org/press/PRshow.html?id=4552 New FE-SEM combines high resolution and analysis for the first time Wed, 1 Jul 2009 10:00:00 EDT http://www.nsti.org/press/PRshow.html?id=4553 Semiconductor and Solar Industry Veteran Brings Extensive Technology Expertise and Experience Wed, 1 Jul 2009 09:04:00 EDT http://www.nsti.org/press/PRshow.html?id=4549 Today KLA-Tencor Corporation (NASDAQ:KLAC), the world’s leading supplier of process control and yield management solutions for the semiconductor and related industries, announced XP, a new upgrade package for 28xx broadband brightfield inspection systems. The XP package is the first commercially available product to give an inspection system access to standard IC design layout files — the instructions that enable mask shops to pattern the mask. With access to this information, the inspection system can use knowledge of the defect’s location within the circuit to better estimate its probability of affecting device yield. In addition, XP can use the results of the design-aware wafer inspection to identify features on the mask that may be particularly sensitive to process variations during printing. These and other features of the XP upgrade package are designed to improve the sensitivity and productivity of existing 28xx inspectors and raise the information content of defect results, helping to accelerate identification and resolution of defect issues.
