COMPANY OVERVIEW TRENDS IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY INFICON is a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of Change is a constant in the semiconductor industry. Today’s market innovative instrumentation, critical sensor , and is driven by the increasing electronic content in many products and the advanced process control software for the semiconductor and rising demand for speed, power and miniaturization of these products. vacuum coating industries and other industrial applications. These Smaller, faster chips for portable electronic devices and the migration analysis, measurement and control products are vital to OEMs and to below 65-nanometer (nm) for chip require even more end-users in the complex manufacturing of semiconductors, flat complex processes and new materials. In addition, as the industry panel displays, magnetic and optical storage media and precision transitions to below 65-nm processes, new technological challenges optics. INFICON also provides essential instrumentation for gas such as power and heat dissipation issues arise. leak detection to the air conditioning/refrigeration industries and toxic chemical analysis for the emergency response and security As the cost of silicon wafers from which the integrated circuit is markets. manufactured and the complexity of the manufacturing processes

To strengthen its position in key semiconductor markets, increases, the requirement for faster detection of faults in the process INFICON has established a worldwide sales and marketing becomes more critical. This is driving the rapid adoption of advanced infrastructure in strategic regions, such as Asia Pacific. The process control (APC) and early fault detection in the semiconductor company is expanding its existing strong sales presence in to industry – needs INFICON solutions and process expertise take advantage of that country’s ambitious plans for becoming a directly address. major semiconductor manufacturer. GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES CUSTOMERS Focus on high-growth semiconductor and vacuum-coating INFICON products offer substantial process improvements and cost markets advantages to its customers. Leading semiconductor companies that INFICON is actively engaged in capitalizing on the emerging use INFICON in situ metrology and vacuum control solutions include APC market by providing fully automatic, real time fault detection Applied Materials, IBM, Motorola, Samsung, Oerlikon and Novellus. and process knowledge for the analysis and optimization of Customers of the company’s helium and refrigerant leak detector manufacturing processes.
