Heard on the Beat: Axcelis' implanter due Feb. 16

On Feb. 16, Axcelis Technologies Inc. plans to roll out its first single-wafer ion implanter, which is believed to be a high-current machine.

"Axcelis Technologies will introduce its new single wafer ion implanter family to address the complete application needs of the 65-nm technology node and beyond," according to e-mail invite from the chip-equipment maker.

The tool has been expected for nearly a year (see May 24, 2004 story).

At present, Axcelis sells batch-wafer, high-current implanters. But Axcelis and Applied Materials Inc. have or are fielding single-wafer tools. For years, Varian has offered single-wafer, high-current machines.

Most believe that single-wafer solutions will be required for the 65-nm node.
