AGS Plasma Headline News:

Santa Clara, CA — AGS Plasma Systems released the following late breaking news today.

Another OEM Module Customer

In another story, AGS Plasma revealed that they have signed with yet another major semiconductor tool supplier to provide OEM versions of their MPS‑X00‑RIE and PECVD modules. President, Allen Guastavino said, “This is our fourth OEM customer for this part of our strategic business model of delivering turn-key plasma module solutions at very competitive prices to OEM’s to rebrand as their own. Buying our mature IP facilitates rapid deployment at minimal investment and risk for any OEM that desires to add plasma processing to their portfolio.”

AGS announce new bench top research systems

At Semicon West 2012, a new table top reactor, the TT-150-RIE/CVD™, was unveiled by AGS Plasma Systems. The economical new system for Reactive Ion Etch and Plasma Enhanced CVD applications is perfect for the needs of researchers throughout the world. The modular TT-150 is well suited for 2-6" semiconductor, MEMS, TFT, and PV work. “We have designed a really solid bench top reactor based on our MPS-150 platform,” said Russ Coppes, Senior Engineer, AGS Plasma. The system is immediately available with a number of enhancement options.

Prestigious Russian Academy of Sciences awards ICP systems order

AGS Plasma Systems has been award an order for their MPS-150-ICP/RIE™ platform for ICP-Reactive Ion Etch applications by the prestigious Russian Academy of Sciences. The modular MPS-150 is well suited to meet the unique demands of 2-6" compound semiconductor research. “It is thrilling to be working with the caliber of scientists at the RAS and we are very proud,” said Allen Guastavino, CEO, AGS Plasma. The system was scheduled to be delivered in mid 2011.

 

AGSP Receives New Orders for ALD Pre-Clean Modules

As the semiconductor capital equipment spending boom surges in 2010, AGS Plasma Systems has received several orders for their MPS-200™ platform for 200 mm Reactive Ion Etch, or RIE, pre-clean applications on an ALD cluster tool. The modular MPS-X00 is an excellent choice for data storage component manufacturing. “These are our first plasma etch systems to be used on a major capital equipment companies atomic layer deposition products. We are excited to see growth for AGSP into this new area,” said Allen Guastavino, CEO, AGS Plasma.
