Repeat orders testify
to processing performance
In recent weeks Surface Technology Systems has received multiple orders worth more than GBP 1 million for its cluster tools from a leading supplier of components for wireless communications
Over the past six years, STS has installed a number of cluster tools at the customer's production facility in North America. These tools have been supplied with inductively couple plasma (ICP) sources for etching via holes through GaAs wafers. These recent orders include two cluster tools and additional process chambers for existing equipment.

One of these clusters will be a new VPX cluster based on Brooks' MX400 robotic wafer handler, which can accommodate up to three individual process modules with STS' latest generation of PLC-based control.
STS believes these repeat orders are due to their advanced processing performance and the flexibility of the tool for easy transition to larger wafer sizes when required.
STS provides a strong service support infrastructure in the USA, controlled locally from its West Coast office in Redwood City, California, a factor the company recognises is paramount for production customers.
John Saunders, CEO of STS, added: 'We are delighted that STS has maintained and developed a great relationship with such a key production customer'.
'The latest orders are confirmation that our new range of processing platforms continue to gain traction in the market and offers customers significant and valuable advantages in the production environment'.
