Applied James Bond: Never Say Never Capital equipment giant Applied Materials Inc. announced last fall its participation in an electron-beam-projection lithography consortium through eLith, its joint venture with Dutch lithography toolmaker ASML. On the heels of that announcement came the acquisition of mask equipment maker Etec Systems. Rumors have been swirling around the Santa Clara, Calif.-based toolmaker for some time. Is an Applied stepper or scanner in the near future? Jim Morgan, chief executive officer, didn’t say yes to that question at a technical conference on reticles last week, but then he didn’t exactly say no, either. Applied looks at what customers need, Morgan said. If a customer is well-served in a particular market segment, Applied will look to work with customers and create partnerships in order to leverage value. But Applied won’t get directly involved in a market unless there is a cost or technical issue that Applied can address. “Just adding sales dollars isn’t one of our high priorities,” Morgan said. electronicnews.com
