Nikon to Upgrade Existing Microchip Stepper Equipment
February 17, 1998 (TOKYO) -- Nikon Corp., the largest maker of
microchip step-and-repeat process equipment (steppers), said it will expand
its business to upgrade steppers already in use.

The company said it has complied with many requests for improvements
from microchip makers. Nikon plans to increase its sales in the upgrade
business from 5 billion yen (US$40.2 million) in 1997 to 10 billion yen
(US$80.4 million) in 1998.

Specifically, Nikon intends to enhance the throughput of steppers and
improve alignment accuracy levels so that earlier-model steppers can be
used on leading-edge microchip manufacturing lines.
