Pixer Technology Receives Order from Major DRAM Flash Manufacturer

February 27, 2007

The company further penetrates the Asia-Pacific market and expands its activities in the region.

Karmiel, Israel – February 27, 2007 – Pixer Technology Ltd. (Pixer), a provider of laser-based yield enhancement tools for the semiconductor manufacturing industry, announced the sale of a CDC101 system to a major DRAM Flash Manufacturer in Asia-Pacific. The system will be installed before the end of Q1. CDC101 will support customer’s efforts to achieve higher lithography productivity through improvement of Critical Dimension Uniformity (CDU).

CDC101 is an industry-first solution for Critical Dimension Control, improving global and local CDU across masks and wafers. CDC101 modifies the mask transmission in order to modify and correct the CD on the wafer resist. Deep UV transmittance of the mask is selectively and locally altered by partially scattering shading elements (Shade-In ElementTM) inside the quartz. This creates local pixels with a different refractive index relative to the quartz. An array of such pixels with a constant density constitutes one shading element. Optical CD (OCD) systems, CD SEM or reticle AIMSTM predetermine the required corrections.

Mr. Hagay Sitry, CEO at Pixer, stated: “This sale illustrates the industry trust in our Shade-In Element technology and in Pixer to deliver a practical and effective solution for CD Uniformity control, which is one of the “Red Flags” in the 2005 ITRS. We work very closely with our customers to deliver a mature solution for one of the urgent requirements of the IC manufacturing industry.”
