Press Release SOURCE: Isonics Corporation Isonics Corporation Delivers Silicon-28 Silicon-On-Insulator Wafers GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2002--Isonics Corporation (Nasdaq:ISON - news), a leader in the development of isotopically engineered semiconductor materials and a supplier of isotopes for life sciences and health care applications, has announced that a leading semiconductor manufacturer has taken delivery of Silicon-28 Thin-Film, Silicon On Insulator (SOI) wafers for evaluation. "While SOI wafers are known to reduce power requirements for devices, heat has been a large concern for certain applications and is expected to become an even larger, more critical consideration as chip manufacturers continue to push for more performance," said Dr. Stephen J. Burden, Isonics Vice President of Semiconductor Materials. "Semiconductor manufacturers, eager to design the optimum thermal/electrical solution for their specific device, are becoming aware of the outstanding performance offered by the marriage of our high thermal conductivity silicon-28 and the film SOI wafer technology," he added. Isotopically purified silicon-28 has 60% higher thermal conductivity than natural silicon, allowing for reductions in the self heating of circuits made with natural SOI wafers. Incorporating Silicon-28 into SOI wafers made using either oxygen implantation or layer transfer technologies requires no change in the established manufacturing processes developed for these SOI wafers. The wafers delivered to this customer were not manufactured in Isonics' thick-film SOI facility, but in cooperation with an existing thin-film SOI wafer supplier. Further information on the availability of silicon-28 SOI or epitaxial wafers can be obtained from Isonics Corporation by contacting Dr. Burden at (303) 279-7900. About Isonics Corporation Isonics is a world leader in isotopically engineered materials and produces isotopically pure silicon-28 chemicals and wafers and silicon-on-insulator wafers (SOI) for the semiconductor industry. Isonics also markets and sells stable isotopes for the health care industry such as carbon-13 for diagnostic breath tests and drug design, and oxygen-18 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Stable isotopes can be thought of as ultra pure materials. For additional information visit isonics.com.
