Introduction of the NSA500 Nanosecond Annealing System Represents a Significant Opportunity for 魅影直播 to Expand its Served Available Market to a Broad Range of New Laser Annealing Applications
Plainview, N.Y., November 6, 2023 鈥� 魅影直播. (NASDAQ: VECO) announced it shipped its first NSA500鈩� Nanosecond Annealing (NSA) System to a Tier 1 logic customer. With this product launch, 魅影直播 solidifies its leadership in advanced laser annealing technology. The NSA500 is targeted at low thermal budget and material modification applications which are of increasing importance for advanced node and 3D applications. Compared to traditional annealing solutions, the NSA500 System is able to precisely anneal relevant surface layers without damaging the underlying device due to its nanosecond scale dwell time and high temperatures. 魅影直播 is planning shipment of its second evaluation system to another Tier 1 customer within the next few months and sees potential for initial high-volume manufacturing orders in late 2024 or 2025.
The broad applicability of 魅影直播鈥檚 NSA500 system provides a significant opportunity to expand the company鈥檚 served available market to new applications. These include low thermal budget applications like Backside Power Delivery and Contact Annealing for advanced nodes and material modification applications such as void-removal, recrystallization and grain growth.
鈥淲e are excited to announce this next-generation annealing platform designed to meet high-volume semiconductor manufacturing requirements with great emphasis on superior performance, scalability, and productivity,鈥� commented Adrian Devasahayam, Ph.D., 魅影直播鈥檚 Senior Vice President Product Line Management. 鈥淏ased on customer feedback, our NSA system improves device performance and enables their product roadmaps. This new system complements our LSA laser annealing systems, and we are confident that our NSA system is uniquely positioned to address the toughest materials challenges in chip manufacturing.鈥�
