Varian Semiconductor Continues Leadership in Medium Current Ion Implanter Segment with 100 VIISta 810 Systems Shipped Thursday June 3, 9:30 am ET GLOUCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2004--Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSEA - News) announced today the shipment of its 100th single wafer VIISta 810 series medium current ion implanter. The VIISta 810 ion implanters are the tools of choice for the majority of semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. "The combination of high productivity, excellent dose control and low contamination levels have made the VIISta 810 series tools the market leader for medium current ion implant applications," said Ernest Godshalk, Varian Semiconductor's president and chief operating officer. "The VIISta 810EHP is the industry benchmark for medium current implant performance and productivity based on it having the highest overall throughput performance, the best low energy beam current performance and the shortest beam tuning time in the industry." "Varian Semiconductor continues to hold the market leadership position in the medium current ion implant segment, continuously making productivity and technology improvements to its tools," said VLSI Research president, G. Dan Hutcheson. "According to VLSI Research data, in the next three years the medium current market is expected to grow at a 28% CAGR over 2003." The single wafer VIISta platform of ion implanters exceed 300 wafers per hour mechanical limit and features both the Varian Control System (VCS(TM)), and a common single wafer endstation. This high degree of commonality across the VIISta platform facilitates process matching throughout the tool set and provides flexibility in managing capacity, product mix changes, spare parts and training.
