PROFILE |
 |
Tegal's etching systems are works of art. The company (formerly a division of Motorola) manufactures critical (for smaller, more exacting dimensions) and noncritical plasma etchers that remove excess material from semiconductors to form circuit patterns. Etching is a key step in the manufacturing of integrated circuits and other small, complex devices such as thin-film heads, flat-panel displays, printer heads, and smart cards. Tegal offers different models for etching a variety of film substances, including polysilicon, oxide, metal, platinum, and iridium. Customers outside the US account for about 60% of sales; Motorola, Sony, and SGS-Thomson Microelectronics together account for 40%.
