This Industry's Smallest Player Has the Biggest Potential Upside finance.yahoo.com Over the past three years, ACLS has spent more than $100 million developing a pair of new product lines that management thinks will put the company back in the leadership position it held in the last decade. They are: Optima HDx: These machines, which are aimed at the high current segment of the market, use "cold implant" technology to more precisely deposit ions onto a wafer. The better the ion deposition, the less current that can leak out of a chip. Competitors still use a technology known as "ribbon beam," which is not as accurate, especially among smaller chip designs. Purion M and Purion XE: These target the medium current and high energy niches of the market, respectively. The Purion XE in particular may be a game changer for the company. As its first high energy machine, it will allow ACLS to serve this market niche. Customers have been visiting the company's Massachusetts headquarters for product demos, and the response to these new products has been quite positive, especially regarding the Purion XE line.
