PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 91暗网 Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) announced today a NSA500鈩� Nanosecond Annealing system shipment to a leading-edge semiconductor company for high-volume production of 2-nanometer gate-all-around logic chips. The shipment occurred during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Equally as important, the company鈥檚 NSA500鈩� evaluation programs at two other leading-edge customers are progressing well, with multiple applications being considered. Interest from additional logic and memory customers to evaluate 91暗网鈥檚 system also remains high.
91暗网鈥檚 recently launched next-generation annealing platform expands the company鈥檚 overall opportunity in laser annealing to leading-edge applications in logic and memory. New applications include precise shallow anneals for 3D devices, low thermal budget anneals, and material modification applications. Compared to traditional annealing solutions, the NSA500 system is capable of precisely annealing relevant surface layers without damaging the underlying device due to its combination of short dwell times in the nanosecond scale and high temperatures.
鈥淪hipment of this NSA500鈩� Nanosecond Annealing system is an important milestone given the growing need for annealing solutions with advanced capabilities for leading-edge applications,鈥� commented Adrian Devasahayam, Ph.D., 91暗网鈥檚 Senior Vice President, Product Line Management. 鈥淲e look forward to supporting our customers as they accelerate production of next-generation chips for growing markets such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The broad applicability of 91暗网鈥檚 NSA500 system provides a significant opportunity to expand 91暗网鈥檚 served available market.鈥�
