Not only did these two ALD companies make it to this honorable list they also made some major progress business wise. So the question is now will 2015 be like 2005 when ALD made it in to high volume manufacturing for a commodity product in the Semiconductor Industry at the introduction of high-k dielectrics for the DRAM memory cell capacitors - The 2nd ALD BOOM!
"Mr. Fokko Pentinga, Chief Executive Officer of Amtech, commented,
'We made much progress in the quarter including the successful close of
the BTU acquisition and the integration of both BTU and SoLayTec is
progressing according to plan. Bookings continued at a healthy rate in
the quarter and our backlog is at the highest level in the last three
years. The mix of product in our backlog, including PECVD, ion implant,
and atomic layer deposition systems (ALD), is a direct result of our
decision several years ago to invest in expanding the size of our served
available markets through product development and acquisition. Global
solar installations continue to grow and the balance between supply and
demand continues to improve. With strong growth of the market in 2015
and beyond, we see an increase in activity among top tier solar cell
manufacturers to expand production both inside and outside of China and
we are pleased to fully participate in the industry's selective capacity
expansion and technology adaptation.'"
According to earlier reports in April "AVACO received additional volume order for PV manufacturing line that will be installed in China from one of the major solar manufacturer in the U.S. AVACO specializes in the manufacturing sputtering (PVD) vacuum deposition equipment, SuVAS™, and atomic Layer deposition (ALD) equipment AEON™. With the expertise in providing the turnkey manufacturing solution, AVACO boosts the PV market momentum."
