Veeco Ships First 300mm Ion Beam Deposition System to Tier 1 Memory Customer
27 Novembre 2023 - 3:00PM
Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) announced today that it has
shipped its first IBD300™ Ion Beam Deposition (IBD) System to a
Tier 1 memory customer for evaluation. With this product launch,
Veeco introduces a differentiated deposition technology to the
semiconductor industry that is expected to enable the industry’s
roadmap. Compared to conventional sputter deposition technologies
like Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Veeco’s IBD300 System has
proven to achieve up to twenty percent lower film resistivity. The
superior on-wafer performance is achieved by using unique ion beam
deposition hardware and process parameters to control the grain
orientation and grain size of the thin metal film. The lower
resistivity enables memory manufacturers to continue to scale their
devices to meet future performance requirements. Veeco is planning
to ship a second system to another Tier 1 customer in the coming
months and if these evaluations are successful, expects initial
high volume manufacturing orders as early as late 2024 or 2025.
The enabling capability of Veeco’s IBD300
provides a significant opportunity to expand the company’s served
available market into the deposition space in front-end Semi.
Applications such as DRAM bitline and Logic wiring where low
resistivity metals like tungsten, ruthenium and molybdenum are
critical would benefit greatly from IBD.
“This new deposition system is the first of its
kind for the Semi industry, and in particular for memory device
production, that provides roadmap-accelerating capability for the
industry,” commented Adrian Devasahayam, Ph.D., Veeco’s Senior Vice
President, Product Line Management. “Driven by demand for
artificial intelligence, machine learning, high performance
computing and data-driven workflows, the Semi industry is
continuously looking at roadmap-enabling technologies. We have
received feedback from top-tier customers that IBD technology
addresses high-value problems and helps solve critical challenges
that traditional sputtering technologies struggle to achieve.”
