REHOVOT, Israel, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Nova (Nasdaq: NVMI) announced today that ancosys'
chemical-metrology solution was recently selected by an additional
front-end wafer fabrication customer. To date, ancosys' ancolyzer®
has been selected by five leading front-end wafer manufacturers,
including a world-leading foundry. The newest selection of ancosys'
chemical metrology solutions by leading customers indicates the
significant growth in ancosys' front-end business.
This growth attests to the growing importance of chemical
metrology in leading-edge IC manufacturing and the strong position
ancosys already holds with these customers at the back-end of the
process. This recent selection, as the ones that preceded it, is
the result of a highly flexible analytical solution that combines
unique application configuration, adaptability to customer needs,
and meeting strict standards of accuracy and repeatability.
The ancolyzer® front-end platform provides
industry-standard chemical metrology in copper applications,
performed during the electroplating process for Dual Damascene. The
solution enables the analysis of copper components and advanced
control of electroplating processes.
"We are excited to open 2022 with this selection for the latest
ancosys product offering. We expect to deliver more systems to
additional front-end customers during the first quarter," commented
Eitan Oppenhaim, President and CEO of Nova. "Acquiring ancosys
supports our long-term strategy of expanding our materials
metrology offering and enlarging our addressable market. Nova
brings deep synergistic value in the CMP ecosystem, combining our
integrated metrology and stand-alone solutions. With the addition
of ancosys, we can now enhance our offering with new synergies in
electrochemical plating."
