Mattson Technology (MTSN: news, msgs) chief executive officer Brad Mattson, said the company isn't "bumping up" against any market shares situations right now and hopes to get out 5 to 10 of its 300mm systems this year. Mattson, former founder of Novellus Systems (NVLS: news, msgs) said the company is ready for the market's conversion to 300mm from 200mm., with its Aspen III product. The CEO added that he expects booking numbers to increase 10 percent quarter over quarter. "We had one bad year and I think we're back on track," Mattson added. cbs.marketwatch.com This isn't entirely clear to me. I'm not sure what the "bumping up" thing about market share might mean. The 300 mm sales sound interesting; does this figure of 5-10 units represent an increase over what the company was saying previously?
