Press Release:

SUSS MicroTec Receives Strategic Order for 200mm Mask Aligner From Shipley Company

Munich- November 19, 2002 - SUSS MicroTec announced a key order for its 200mm Mask Aligner from Shipley Company, LLC.
Shipley a leading supplier of photoresist to the advanced packaging market, chose SUSS MicroTec`s Mask Aligner technology over
alternative technologies due to its low cost of ownership and flexibility for processing wafers of different sizes and photo resist
thickness.

Shipley, a key chemical supplier to the advanced packaging industry, is also an associate member of SECAP (Semiconductor
Equipment Consortium for Advanced Packaging) and therefore, this order has great strategic significance to SUSS MicroTec.
"Shipley offers a wide ranging portfolio of chemistries, processes and services for flip chip, wafer level packaging and micro lead
frame production. In addition, Shipley solutions offer high productivity, excellent solderability, simple process control and exceptional
yields for better connectivity and conductivity necessary for smaller and smaller ships. We are very pleased to be the exposure
system supplier of choice to Shipley," commented James A. Quinn, executive vice president of SUSS MicroTec.

Wafer-level packaging is an advanced packaging technology whereby the die and package are manufactured and tested on the
wafer, then diced into individually packaged integrated circuits (ICs). Process and cost considerations in wafer level packaging are
considerably different from front-end technology, which makes it unattractive to use front-end equipment. SUSS MicroTec`s
lithography systems therefore, are specifically designed for wafer level packaging to meet process and cost-of-ownership
requirements of this innovative technology. Other key markets for SUSS Mask Aligners are MEMS (micro electro mechanical
systems) and compound semiconductors - both representing growth areas for SUSS and Shipley.

SUSS Mask Aligners require full field photomasks to expose wafers in one step. SUSS MicroTec`s wholly owned subsidiary, Image
Technology, based in Palo Alto, Calif., is a key supplier of such large area precision photomasks and recently announced plans for a
new facility in Taiwan to support its Asian customer base. (<" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.image-tec.com/>

Ich finde, der Titel sieht auch charttechnisch gut aus. Mit dem richtigen Rückenwind der Us-Börsen sind schnell wieder 3,50 € drin ..
