Welcome to the NMI Supplier Directory 2011.

Since we went to press in March of this year there have been a few changes to the content of this directory.

New companies have joined and there are also changes to existing member company profiles.

Although we do our best to make any necessary changes within this pdf, it's not always possible to edit the main body of the directory.

Therefore, we have added a new section at the end which lists new companies or information about companies already listed.

Please refer to this section for new contacts or changes to previously printed information (this will be indicated by an * next to the company name).

Mark Berry +44 (0) 1275 859988 mark.berry@metryx.net www.metryx.net

M etryx

Metryx develops and manufactures advanced metrology systems based on mass metrology. Mass change provides a direct, passive and rapid measurement of process change in a semiconductor process, regardless of whether it is an additive or subtractive process. The process change will manifest as either a single excursion, or a drift and will allow process engineering and excursion management decisions to be made and rapidly implemented. Because mass measurement takes place on product wafers it enables the reduction of non productive test wafers, and provides information quickly on process excursions reducing risk.

Metryx has a worldwide customer base including 300mm, 200mm and 150mm fabs in Europe, US and Asia. Metryx tools are in use on high volume applications in high volume productions fabs as well as in multi application use in smaller fabs.

Metryx has achieved recognition in this highly competitive industry with awards including Semiconductor International Best Product Award, Eurasia Semiconductor Yield Enhancement Award, and two Queens Awards for International Trade and for Innovation.

Metryx is staffed by semiconductor industry professionals from the fields of equipment engineering, process and applications development, and equipment sales and service.

While many of our customers are high volume 300mm fabs, our metrology technique can offer some real cost savings to the mature 200mm fabs that are operated by many of NMI members. These fabs are often running at close to capacity and cost savings represent direct improvements to profitability. Metryx is working with a number of similar companies on activities to reduce test wafer consumption, as well as increased process monitoring to help reduce reliance on slower, more expensive analytical metrology.

Founded in 1994, MVTS Technologies is a global, full-service provider of refurbished Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) to the semiconductor industry. The goal of MVTS is to extend the life of legacy ATE by providing access to “out of production” used equipment, spare parts, and services. With an extensive inventory and a wide range of products, MVTS positions itself as the ATE Capacity Partner to its customers.

MVTS has an unprecedented business model of partnering with OEMs. The concept of establishing these relationships came from MVTS' desire to distinguish itself from the “broker market.” Each OEM relationship is different in areas of sales, service and support.

The overall objective of these relationships is to provide users with a single source for legacy product support across multiple platforms.

The current business model was originally pioneered between MVTS and LTX Corporation. Over time the relationship expanded to include multiple product lines and collaboration on various services. MVTS has since added Teradyne Corporation, Credence and Verigy to its portfolio and continues to add additional OEM relationships to further diversify its services and product lines while at the same time remaining platform neutral.

Core to the Savantech approach is the industry knowledge and experience to ensure that the solutions do what is required for the business, reliably, 24-7. Our focus is on providing targeted automation solutions that deliver the best cost/performance package for each customer. Full-fab automation is not an option for most existing semiconductor manufacturing facilities, and is, indeed, not usually the best solution. Excellent ROI can be achieved by automating a select set of key equipment in the first instance, to address pressing problems of scrap, poor throughput or poor process yield. As the cost benefit of automating those tools is proven, further functionality can be introduced and/or further tools automated. Savantech has extensive expertise in identifying where automation will return the most value, and in providing the solution to do it. Choose Savantech to make the most out of your fab's potential.

Helmut Tietzen +49 (89) 45150515 helmut.tietzen@smartest.de www.smartest.de

Today's semiconductor industry has a rapidly growing demand for faster turn around times in product development and costeffective manufacturing. This includes faster development of IC test solutions and parallel efforts to cover the large variety of products.

In many cases existing test solutions must also be transferred to new high speed test equipment to reduce the cost of test.

There are also upcoming demands from "fabless� ASIC design houses to help them transfer their ASIC designs to production.

These requirements often lead to resource shortages and requirements for additional expertise and therefore contracting out test development work has more and more become an established route.

Smartest GmbH, a privately owned, Munich based company, was founded to address these needs in a very flexible and efficient way.

Smartest offers a complete application package which is focused on short development times while minimizing the involvement of the customers resources in the out-sourced project.

This is achieved by offering a complete package of services for IC test applications, including: test concept engineering test program generation and debug the design and manufacturing of interface boards production integration product analysis documentation and training The development process is monitored by computerized project planning and review tools. They are transparent to the customer and also open to the customers requirements in TQM. Finally the product support is guaranteed by a unique software warranty procedure.

This concept has proven to be very successful and today, Smartest supports a large number of tester platforms for customers all over the world.

The Tyndall National Institute (Tyndall) was created to bring together complementary activities in photonics, electronics and networking research at the National Microelectronics Research Centre (NMRC), several UCC academic departments and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT). The objective is to create a research institute, which would become a focal point of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), to support industry and academia nationally and to increase the number of qualified graduate students for the ‘knowledge economy’. The strengths of the institute at the present time lie in the area of photonics, electronics, materials and nanotechnologies and their applications for life sciences, communications, power electronics and other industries. Research programmes range from theoretical modelling and design to novel material, nanotechnology, device processing and fabrication, packaging and integration; and novel systems incorporating these new devices.

Tyndall & Industry: Tyndall has significant direct involvement with industry in both the research and services areas. Tyndall’s largest industry services involvement is through the Design Technology Evaluation (DTE) group, which performs Intellectual Property infringement investigation for key European and US companies, as well as performing high precision measurements of ‘mixed signal’ and RF components for industry.

In its IP infringement investigation area, the group implements a complete 'tear down' of an IC's design, its technology, its assembly and systems. Comparisons are then made between the technical evidence and a portfolio of patents in order to ascertain if infringement has occurred and a report provides clear evidence concerning specific patents. When necessary, staff support findings as a 'facts expert witness' in a court of law. The IP investigation work as well as the high precision electrical measurements work is facilitated by an extensive infrastructure of analysis resources in excess of €35 Million. The full list of expertise include: 1.

Electrical design evaluation & diagnostic measurements 2.

Intellectual Property investigation 3.

FPGA systems design 4.

FIB re-engineering of IC designs 5.

Competitive assessment of IC designs & technologies 6.
