MEI LLC Announces Major Sales of new “Revolution” Rotary Batch Wafer processing systems

Albany, OR.  October 31, 2008 – MEI LLC announces the sale of four of it’s newest  “Revolution” Automated Multi-Step Wet Processing systems.  Two single robot systems for 300 mm included all Halar construction, internal spiking, and integrated ULPA environments and were sold to a major chemical manufacturer for process development.  A stainless steel version of the Revolution, with dual rotary robots and a very small footprint, was sold to an important semiconductor manufacturer in the west for metal lift-off applications, and a fourth unit was sold for final clean applications to an Oregon-based foundry.  These sales recognize the strength and novelty of MEI’s unique approach to building systems with small footprints which can accommodate wafer diameters of up to 300mm batch wafer processing in a small area, and show strong customer confidence in MEI’s unique platform designs and award winning customer service.

MEI’s “Revolution” Automated Multi-Step Wet Processing system combines ease of process control with a rotary robot design and precision engineering to create a powerful, flexible tool with a minimal fab footprint.  The easily managed IDX automation software provides outstanding control and programmability, and the new design and rotary robotics handle carriers of 300mm wafers through multiple process steps in a very small footprint.
