Advanced Energy Launches New Power Conversion Solutions at SEMICON Korea 2011
SEOUL, Korea--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS), a leader in power conversion solutions, announced todaythat it will showcase its innovative new products, the Paramount®Series of power generators, and the Navigator® II matching network, at SEMICON Korea 2011. The show, one of Asiaa™s largest technology events, is scheduled for January 26-28 in Seoul, Korea.
"As critical dimensions continue to shrink to sub-32 nm, thin-film manufacturers are challenged with achieving precise control while meeting aggressive cost targets. These new products usher in a powerful new combination of technical performance and productivity."
Dr. Hans Betz, chief executive officer of Advanced Energy, commented: aAs critical dimensions continue to shrink to sub-32 nm, thin-film manufacturers are challenged with achieving precise control while meeting aggressive cost targets. These new products usher in a powerful new combination of technical performance and productivity.a He continued, aThese introductions, coupled with the recent opening of Advanced Energya™s Korean-based manufacturing facility, highlight our ongoing commitment to the South Korean technology market.a
Earlier this year, the company established a new manufacturing line in Sungnam City, South Korea, designed exclusively to serve South Korean flat panel display manufacturers. Volume shipments at the new line started last June. A special video presentation of the companya™s new manufacturing facility will be on display at the show, as well as on the companya™s website at [ http://www.advanced-energy.co.kr ].
SEMICON KOREA 2011 SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
Advanced Energy experts will be available at AEa™s booth (#2612, COEX Center) to discuss the companya™s latest additions to its portfolio of thin film power conversion solutions:
The Paramount series of RF generators features a new digital control system, enabling a wide range of capabilities for short process steps and pulsed applications. At the core of the Paramounta™s performance is an enhanced power and impedance measurement system that delivers the power accuracy and repeatability required for next-generation etch and deposition processes. The Paramount series includes the Paramount HF (13 MHz) for high frequency applications and the new Paramount MF (400 kHz) for mid-frequency applications.
The Navigator II matching network improves power-delivery accuracy and repeatability by introducing fully digital measurement and control across a wide range of frequencies and power requirements. True atune-while-pulsea™ performance is now achieved resulting in enhanced stability and tighter process control. The optional Za™Scan® II RF sensor provides unprecedented real-time measurement and analysis of process power and impedance.
In addition to its new products, the company will feature its established, market-leading power-delivery systems, including:
- Ascent® DC Power Supplies, featuring proprietary Arc Management Systema" technology designed to deliver reliable, stable and repeatable power throughout the thin-film manufacturing process. The result is outstanding film quality, productivity, throughput and yield.
- XStream® Remote Plasma Source with Matching Network, now available with a 3 year standard warranty. The production proven system offers manufacturers high efficiency, exceptional reliability and advanced controls for chamber cleans.
- Sekidenko® Optical Fiber Thermometers featuring market-leading OFT technology that delivers high speed, multi-channel temperature and emissivity measurement and control across multiple processes and substrates.
