Now that the Attorney General has condemned VSEA and the VSEA executive who now works for AMAT, do you think Dick Aurelio will see that the stolen money is returned to those two girls?

Varian Semiconductor Wins Multiple High Current Ion Implanter Orders From Major North American Semiconductor Manufacturer Tuesday July 6, 12:20 pm ET GLOUCESTER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 6, 2004--Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSEA - News) announced today that it has won multiple orders for its single wafer VIISta 80HP high current ion implanter from a major North American semiconductor manufacturer. The VIISta 80HP ion implanters will be shipped to the customer's facility this month. "Single wafer processing is important to customers who are implementing next generation technologies for compelling reasons such as the elimination of particle collision-induced damage and mechanical stress to sensitive devices," said Ernest Godshalk, president and chief operating officer of Varian Semiconductor. "This customer, as well as others around the world, continues to select the VIISta 80HP based on the demonstrated production advantages such as high productivity and low cost of ownership." "Today's R&D fabs need not only advanced features - they are also looking to accelerate moving leading edge devices from development to market," said John Aldeborgh, Varian Semiconductor's vice president of sales and marketing. "They choose the VIISta 80HP because it provides the flexibility needed in the uncertain research environment and has significant productivity advantages. Particularly at 65nm integrations, the VIISta 80HP enables customers to rapidly develop, release and ramp manufacturing - all with the same tool - greatly reducing their time to market." The single wafer VIISta platform of ion implanters exceed 300 wafers per hour and feature 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.
