Chip foundry purchases a Camtek AOI

A big semiconductor foundry in Taiwan has selected the Falcon, Camtek's Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) system, for metrology and inspection solution for the 3D integration circuits ("3D IC") process. Advanced packaging of 3D IC with Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects, Micro Bump and additional processes is the next generation of high performance logic and memory integrated devices. This process requires new metrology and inspection capabilities. Mr. Roy Porat, Camtek's General Manager commented: "This is our first penetration sale to this very important customer in Taiwan. In addition to the potential of this customer becoming a significant customer in our future this sale further improves our position with other customers in the Taiwan Semiconductor Market."
