REHOVOT, Israel, Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nova (Nasdaq: NVMI)
announced today the launch of Nova
METRION®, the latest addition to its
materials metrology portfolio, targeting the process control
of 3D logic and memory semiconductor devices. The newly introduced
technology enables advanced materials profile measurements by
bringing secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) into semiconductor
production lines. Following multiple tool installations, Nova is
expected to recognize revenues from this product in the fourth
quarter of 2021.
As the industry increases its reliance on materials engineering
to improve performance and scale, there is a greater need to
monitor and control advanced materials with accurate repeatability
and high precision. Traditionally, SIMS has been used to generate
depth profiles of materials composition, exclusively limited to a
laboratory environment. With Nova
METRION® customers can incorporate SIMS
into inline fabrication nodes, advancing materials process control
capabilities that previously weren't available for high-volume
manufacturing.
Nova's METRION® system is designed from
the ground up for high volume manufacturing environment, seamlessly
integrating wafer-level analysis into an automated factory workflow
and eliminating the need to send wafer coupons to external
laboratory. The system comprises a
novel detection technology that allows simultaneous acquisition of
multiple material species. In combination with advanced ion source
and optic components, the system is
capable of addressing a wide range of applications. Nova
METRION® provides quantitative and
actionable results on depth profiling of compositional information
with high-depth resolution and precision. This breakthrough
technology enables advanced process control of complex and critical
multilayer films.
"This latest addition to our growing portfolio of advanced
materials metrology solutions further cements our position as a
leader in this market and expands our total addressable market,"
said Eitan Oppenhaim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nova. "We
continue to bring breakthrough innovations to process control,
offering our customers the critical ability to increase yield and
shorten time-to-market in the most advanced technology nodes."
