Just picked up M kitty from Bed & Breakfast. He seems okay. Big scar. I want to take a closer look. I just got back from Singapore! Great city! Too hot! It's a pity such a wonderful city sits on the equator! It never cools down. Housemate had an invitation to visit city. So most expenses picked up. Still, I blew a bundle!<g> I need a job! Housemate has been asked if he could return!!! (WOW!!!). So I really need a job! I had six sessions of acupuncture with a great doctor. He wants me to take Tai Chi. Found article on AMAT: Singapore's TECH Semiconductor Purchases Applied Materials' High-Throughput Producer CVD Systems Producer Selected for Rapid Conversion of TECH's Fabs, Providing Highest Productivity per System Area SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 13, 1999-- TECH Semiconductor Pte. Ltd. of Singapore, a joint manufacturing venture of Micron Technology, Inc., the Economic Development Board of Singapore, Canon Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., has purchased multiple Producer(TM) CVD (chemical vapor deposition) systems from Applied Materials, Inc. Delivery of the systems began this year to TECH Semiconductor's facility in Woodlands, located in northern Singapore. Lee Kok Choy, vice president of operations for TECH Semiconductor, said, ``The Producer system's exceptional output and technical performance provides a large productivity benefit in a compact package. These features are essential in converting our fabs to manufacture next-generation DRAM chips. Since the Producer uses the same processes that have already been proven on our other Applied Materials' CVD systems, we can ramp the Producer systems quickly into production with minimal requalification.' ``Cost-competitive DRAM production requires high system productivity and low cost of ownership. TECH Semiconductor's choice of the Producer system validates its effectiveness in addressing very advanced technology requirements with high throughput,' said Dr. Farhad Moghadam, vice president and general manager of Applied Materials' Dielectric Deposition Products Division. ``We are delighted to be working with TECH Semiconductor to help commercialize their latest generation of DRAM products.'
