Zygo's Display Orders Top $7M

MIDDLEFIELD, Conn., Dec 20, 2007 -- Zygo Corp.'s Metrology Div. announced yesterday orders from the flat panel display industry exceeding $7 million for its OneShot and ClearShot process control products. The orders were from multiple fabs and spread equally between the two products.

"We are pleased with the positive response our new ClearShot product has received from our display customers," said Brian Monti, senior vice president and general manager of Zygo's Display Solutions business unit. "Combined with our established OneShot tool, we are enthusiastic about the ability of both products to deliver yield-enhancing solutions to our customers."

OneShot is a color filter metrology tool used for process analysis and in-line control of critical manufacturing processes like one-drop fill. Since introduction, Zygo has installed over 60 OneShot tools in LCD fab applications, ranging in size from G3-G8. Initially used for photo-spacer height measurement and feed-forward control of the ODF (one drop fill) process, the product use has expanded to include the simultaneous measurement of other key parameters such as film thickness, critical 2-D dimensions, and vertical alignment features.

ClearShot performs 2-D and 3-D review of yield-robbing particles in the cell process, improving the efficiency of repair equipment that eliminates these particles from the process. The tool operates as an in-line review tool, accepting and acting upon automated optical inspection information to review and sort out particles that will damage the panel (killer defects) from those that will have no quality impact. These "judgment rules" allow panel makers to enhance the throughput of their production lines, and enable the use of fewer repair tools.

Zygo supplies optical metrology instruments, precision optics, and electro-optical design and manufacturing services to the semiconductor capital equipment and industrial markets. For more information, visit: www.zygo.com

Glossary
metrology
Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
