INNOViON Announces 150mm HE Capability
INNOViON Corporation, a provider of foundry ion implant services for the micro-electronics industry, announced today that it has further expanded its capabilities by dedicating a modern Axcelis GSD/HE implanter to the 150mm market. INNOViON Corporation, a provider of foundry ion implant services for the micro-electronics industry, announced today that it has further expanded its capabilities by dedicating a modern Axcelis GSD/HE implanter to the 150mm market.
Steven Swanson, INNOViON Vice President Sales, commented "Consistent with other recent announcements, INNOViON continues to expand our reach into markets which have been underserved. While our existing toolset had the capability to reach energies up to 600 keV for 150mm (with custom tooling supporting Hydrogen and Helium implants from 2" - 150mm), this move opens the potential energy up to 3000 keV, and does so on a modern, high quality platform. This coupled with our recent addition of dedicated tooling to address "alternative implant species", now brings INNOViON's service and expertise to a whole new group of customers."
