In addition, SPTS and CEA-Leti announced an agreement to develop advanced 300mm (TSV) 3D-IC processes at CEA-Leti’s 300mm facilities in Grenoble, France. SPTS, an early proponent and market leader in TSV equipment development will contribute process expertise in etch and deposition technologies, teaming this with Leti’s device know- how to optimise an integrated process flow.


With a surge in all served market segments, SPTS expects its order intake to remain strong through the remainder of 2010 and into 2011.


SPP Process Technology Systems was established in October 2009 and designs, manufactures, sells, and supports advanced semiconductor capital equipment and process technologies for the global semiconductor industry and related markets. These products are used in a variety of market segments, including R&D, data storage, MEMS and nanotechnology, advanced 3-D packaging, LEDs, and power integrated circuits for communications.


Veeco & NAMBE Award Boston University Professor for MBE Innovation


Professor Moustakas was awarded for his pioneering contributions in the development of MBE growth of nitride materials and the development of nitride optoelectronic devices prepared by MBE.


The 2010 ‘MBE Innovator Award’, co-sponsored by Veeco Instruments and the North America MBE organization, has been awarded to Professor Theodore Moustakas of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boston University.


Moustakas was presented with the award at this year’s NAMBE Conference that took place in Breckenridge, Colorado on September 28.


The North America MBE (NAMBE) organization selected Professor Moustakas for his pioneering contributions in the development of MBE growth of nitride materials and the development of nitride optoelectronic devices prepared by MBE. Particular contributions include the use of MBE for the

synthesis and device fabrication of LEDs, laser diodes, photodetectors, and optical modulators operating in the visible and ultraviolet range. He is the co-editor of eight books, has authored 300 papers, and has been granted 25 U.S. Patents, with several more pending. Intellectual property transpiring from his work has been licensed to a number of companies, including major manufacturers of blue LEDs and lasers.


“Veeco congratulates Prof. Moustakas on his great, long-standing success in the field of MBE and furthermore, we reiterate our sincere appreciation to all innovative contributors in MBE,” said Jim Northup, GM/VP, Veeco St. Paul Operations. “We support this award as a key driver in the continuing expansion of MBE technology into eligible markets.”


The MBE Innovator Award, initiated eight years ago, recognizes those individuals whose innovations have significantly advanced the field MBE in the following categories: 1) materials research, 2) device development, 3) device commercialization, or 4) equipment development. The award consists of a $3,000 honorarium and plaque.


Members of the NAMBE organization help advance MBE technology by sharing research discoveries on new materials and devices based upon MBE, as well as by supporting MBE as a high-volume manufacturing technology.


LayTec ranks again among Germany’s 50 fastest growing technology companies


At the Deloitte‘s Technology Fast 50 award ceremony in Berlin on October 20, 2010 LayTec was awarded for the second time in a row as one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Germany.


The nomination is based on the total growth in sales within the last 5 years. Between 2005 and 2009 LayTec increased its turnover by 241% and, therefore, also belongs to the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Europe in 2010.
