Lam Research Corporation Ships 300-mm CMP System to Major Taiwanese Foundry FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2000-- The foundry's 200-mm Teres® copper CMP processes will be transferred directly to the new 300-mm system, confirming Teres as the copper process tool of record and ``drop in'' process transfer capability to 300 mm. Lam Research Corporation (Nasdaq:LRCX - news) today announced shipment of a 300-mm Teres® CMP system to a major foundry in Taiwan. The foundry's 200-mm Teres copper CMP processes will be transferred directly to the 300-mm system. This decision confirms Teres as the foundry's copper process tool of record, and demonstrates the foundry's confidence in the ability to transfer process from the 200-mm Teres system directly to the new 300-mm system. Lam's 200-mm Teres system is a market leader for copper and STI (shallow trench isolation) CMP processes, and is growing market share for the ILD (interlevel dielectric) and oxide applications. The proven 200-mm process flexibility will continue to be embodied in the 300-mm system. This is a direct result of Lam's decision to design the 300-mm system with the same architecture and process approach already proven on the 200-mm system. The designs are so similar that parts commonality between the two systems is greater than 60 percent. ... biz.yahoo.com
