China Market To Have More Flexible Access to FEI's Leading Tools for Nanotech
HILLSBORO, Ore., March 21 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- FEI Company (Nasdaq: FEIC) will launch a Certified Tools program for the Chinese market during SEMICON China in Shanghai this week. The program, which features fully-tested and warranted factory-refurbished FEI systems, will provide China-based customers greater flexibility, capital equipment acquisition leverage and added confidence as research institutions and industrial customers across China continue to invest in nanoscale development and commercialization. "We are extremely excited to first introduce FEI's Certified Tools program to the China market," commented Paul O'Mara, FEI's senior vice president responsible for the FEI Certified Tools business. "China is making significant investments in its infrastructure to support nanotechnology development and manufacturing. These investments will include a mix of both new and refurbished equipment for labs and factories across multiple markets including semiconductors and data storage, research institutions and general industry." The number of semiconductor fabs in China is growing. According to a report released by Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) last June, 20 new fabs will be built in China between now and 2008, and many of them will be furnished with used equipment. In 2004, sales of refurbished semiconductor equipment in China represented approximately $180 million. "China is already a significant player in nanotechnology investment and development," said Sean Murdock, executive director of the U.S.-based NanoBusiness Alliance. "Based upon their escalating commitment to this sector, China figures to be a dominant nanotechnology force in the next few years." In addition to the Certified Tools program, FEI will feature its complete line of advanced tools for semiconductor labs and fabs including UltraView(TM), a unique suite of products that takes users from wafers to atoms in minutes with ultra-high, atomic scale resolution for defect analysis and metrology.
