FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CAMTEK INTRODUCES A NEW SEMICONDUCTOR
INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR THE LED MARKET
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel – January 25, 2010 – Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE:
CAMT) (“Camtek” or the “Company”), today announced the introduction of a new
Semiconductor Inspection tool focused on the special requirements of the LED
Market.
Camtek’s
Condor 5LED is a new AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) system designed to
provide solutions to a variety of requirements that are unique to LED
Semiconductor Manufacturers.
The
LED Market’s special inspection requirements are characterized by 3-6 inch
wafers, each of which may contain between 100 to over 200 thousand LED devices
per wafer. Typically the wafer is made of a translucent compound semiconductor
such as Gallium Arsenide, Gallium Phosphate and/or Indium Phosphate. The
customers’ defect specifications and unique inspection process raise a
significant challenge for AOI suppliers to solve.
Camtek
has already been addressing the special needs of this market for over two years
and has designed solutions on a per customer basis, built into existing
platforms. Camtek has installed 6 such systems in three countries in this time.
The new Condor 5LED incorporates all Camtek’s
experience in this space, into a singular and focused designated solution,
targeted at the LED Market.
Mr.
Roy Porat, Camtek’s General Manager commented: “The Condor 5LED will further entrench our
leading position in this market segment. Throughout the past year, we have been
benchmarked a number of times against competitors, and we have been chosen as
the ‘tool of choice’ several times. The Condor 5LED will strengthen our position
in this market, and will allow us to maintain and build on our technological
leadership.”
Mr.
Porat concluded: “We are optimistic with regard to this segment in 2010. Given
indications for significant growth from our customers in the LED Market, we aim
to grow our business with the Condor 5LED in the coming
quarters and years. ”
