Orange, CA - March, 2003 - Jon Goldman
Associates, Inc. (JGA), manufacturer of Windows-based data
capture, analysis, and process control software for diffusion
furnaces and other semiconductor equipment, announces its
new SuperTMX™, a replacement for Thermco's TMX 9000, 10,000
and 12,000 series MUX Controllers. It also replaces UNIX-based
MUX systems for Thermco furnaces. The SuperTMX™ software
provides complete recipe and configuration editing, process
status, and alarm and trace data viewing. The Windows platform
allows easy networking offering much improved system access,
and adding JGA's optional Web and Wireless communication capabilities
provides Internet/Intranet-based remote access. As an additional
feature, data capture speeds are now much faster than previous
systems.
"Furnace users rely on a properly functioning
MUX to carry out their jobs," explained JGA's president, Jon
Goldman. "Present MUX systems in the field are getting very
long-in-the-tooth. Reliability is falling off at the same
time spare parts supplies are increasingly hard to find. JGA's
SuperTMX™ will give users years of reliable service on
a platform that can be maintained by anyone familiar with
Windows-based PCs and networks. The SuperTMX™ combines
all the functionality of the older systems with the convenience
of Microsoft Windows®. Furnace data, recipe information, and
other critical information can be accessed from any PC on
your network. This data is then available for analysis with
a full range of system package features. Backup and Restore
operations are easy and automatic."
Features include an upgraded Recipe Explorer,
which now has an embedded Recipe Editor, a new Process
Manager, that provides complete Tube Status information
in a Windows format, a Logstat/Alarm Viewer that provides
immediate and complete real-time alarm/abort status as well
as history across the network. BayView now provides
more comprehensive diffusion area summary information. The
MCrt Viewer allows users to access the Maintenance
Crt not only from a workstation next to the furnace, but also
on any PC on your network. The SECS/GEM interface has been
redesigned, and now includes support for HSMS (high speed
messaging services).
Jon Goldman Associates, based in Orange, CA,
is in its twelfth year of providing data mining software solutions
to the semiconductor industry. JGA's data analysis tools are
widely used in the industry by both end users and equipment
manufacturers to reduce downtime and wafer scrap by implementing
and improving SPC control. JGA's recently acquired Integrated
Control Concepts, Inc. (ICCI) Division, based in Hollis, NH,
manufactures diffusion and LPCVD process controllers and software
used throughout the semiconductor industry. Visit the JGA
