A Global Name for Reliability
Ushio's photolithography lamps are based on the
greatest amount of experience and are the most
reliable in the semiconductor and liquid crystal
stepper light source field. Now that lithography
process technology has entered a new phase, Ushio is
committed to looking even more closely at what is
expected of photolithography lamps and to continuing
to progress towards the next generation without
being bound by current levels.
At the Forefront of Lithography Advances -
Development Framework
The semiconductor production process requires
extreme levels of precision. And in turn, the most
extreme specifications are expected of all parts
used in the vital process of photolithography.
Ushio, from the beginning of high precision circuit
formation via photolithography, has been closely
tied to the development of lithographic devices and
has continuously developed light sources which
satisfy the demand for the most advanced optical
technology of the time.
Ushio has responded to advances in optical systems,
including the increasing precision of circuits, and
to requirements for greater efficiency in the
semiconductor production process. Ushio also
supports cooperative development efforts with
lithographic device manufacturers and has
established a name for itself as the producer of the
most reliable lithographic lamps.
In today's new environment of "Deep UV exposure,"
"Mix & Match" and other new approaches, Ushio is
applying itself to "further productivity
enhancements," "highly tailored responses to diverse
processes" and "providing a product line-up which
supports all types of steppers" pursuing
developments for the next generation.
Stable Delivery Throughout the World - Production
and Supply Framework
Over the years of development of light sources
closely linked to the lithographic process, Ushio
has expanded its line-up of products to cover nearly
all of the main types of aligners and steppers.
Ushio, in order to guarantee stable supplies of its
wide array of products worldwide, has two production
centers in Japan and operates a planned and flexible
production system.
Additionally, Ushio has sales centers in eight
locations worldwide close to the main regions of
semiconductor production which enable it to offer
individually tailored customer support and to stay
in touch with the latest process information. |
