$12m Of Orders From The Compound Semiconductor Industry

Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology Received Over $12m Worth Of Orders From The Compound Semiconductor Industry Alone During 1999/2000.

Bristol, UK. Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology (OIPT), a leading supplier of plasma and ion beam processing equipment to the semiconductor industry announced the receipt of over $12M worth of orders, for the year ended March 2000, from the compound semiconductor industry alone. This represents an increase of over 140% over the same period last year for this market segment.

The proportion of compound semiconductor orders by system for Optoelectronic applications was 73%, with the majority of these orders coming from the optical communication industry for InP based laser fabrication. The remaining 27% of orders were received from the Microelectronic sector, where the OIPT Plasmalab System 100 cluster tool, with ICP380, is fast becoming the tool of choice for through wafer via hole applications and ultra low damage gate recess etch.

Commenting on the results, Jim Williams Sales Director said: "We know the compound semiconductor industry is growing at anywhere between 20 and 40%, which is why we ve chosen to focus much of our effort on this market. Our own growth of over 140% in this market though, demonstrates how we ve succeeded in penetrating this market over the last 12 months and dramatically increased our market share. These results confirm, without doubt, the acceptance of OIPT as a leading supplier of plasma and ion beam tools into this market.
