Orange, CA - December, 2002 - Jon Goldman
Associates, Inc. (JGA), manufacturer of data capture and process
controls for thermal processing systems and other semiconductor
equipment, has just completed the fifth phase in its joint
development agreement with semiconductor equipment manufacturer,
Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL), Tokyo, Japan. JGA has integrated
its SPC Trend Analysis software into the newest generation
of TEL's WAVES and AGC (Advanced Group Controller) based thermal
processing system for 300mm wafers, named TELFORMULATM. This
application enhances the semiconductor manufacturer's ability
to control production through the use of sophisticated Input
Parameter SPC data. The original agreement was established
in February 1999. This is the fifth agreement TEL has signed
with JGA.
"Technological expertise, combined with creativity
and progressive thinking, has earned TEL an excellent reputation
with customers around the world," said Ike Ishii, Group General
Manager, IPC Group, TEL "Among the reasons for this achievement
are partnerships with forward-looking companies such as Jon
Goldman Associates. We are happy to be able to continue that
relationship."
"We have worked closely with TEL over the past
four years to develop software to make their thermal processing
systems even more state-of-the-art by providing easy-to-use
applications to monitor the manufacturing process, analyze
SPC data, and highlight process trends," said JGA President
Jon Goldman. "Our Trend Viewer software is used on all TEL
Furnace AGC systems."
