Another article - how semi equipment tools to handle copper deposition are attracting interest - "The market for copper process semiconductor manufacturing tools is hot and apparently getting hotter, according to industry insiders." - sumnet.com It's been awhile and I have not gone back to look at my files - has FSII said anything about this trend or their plans in this market segment? Also, FSII mentioned in this article - sumnet.com "FSI International, Inc. is providing P4400 Slurry Blending and Distribution Systems for installation at two Texas Instruments facilities in Dallas. Systems were shipped in March and April, with installation currently under way. TI will use the P4400 units for both oxide and tungsten slurry in the manufacture of digital signal processors (DSPs) and related devices. FSI's patented vacuum pressure transfer technology, employed in the P4400 system, uses a Venturi vacuum to fill vessels and humidified high-purity nitrogen to dispense the chemical. The P4400 system draws chemicals from source containers and blends them to predetermined mix ratios. The mixed solution is then dispensed to the fab using two vacuum-pressure vessels. The P4400 systems for TI will include day tanks, chemical instrumentation packages and external filtration. FSI's turnkey package includes design services, valve box and piping installation, and the FSI Chemical Management System." Joe
