Chartered Semi buys RAVE's Rhazer haze removal system

DELRAY BEACH, USA: RAVE LLC announced receipt of a purchase order for its new Rhazer haze removal system from one of the world's leading dedicated semiconductor foundries, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd, Singapore.

RAVE unveiled the Rhazer system in 2008 with a breakthrough dry process for the non-invasive removal of haze contamination from advanced photomasks.

Chartered has been evaluating the potential of the Rhazer technology since early 2009. The company elected to collaborate with RAVE as production beta partner to implement the Rhazer haze management system and process at Chartered's Fab 7 wafer production line in Singapore.

RAVE CEO, Barry Hopkins, stated: "We are very pleased to be working with the Chartered engineering team. The foundry wafer fabrication environment is particularly well suited for the Rhazer technology. The RAVE team has developed an excellent working relationship and professional respect for the Chartered team and the organization. We are looking forward to a highly favorable opportunity for both companies."

Chartered Fab 7 Reticle Management Team, who has been aggressively evaluating the system over the past few months added: "Our investigation concluded RAVE's Rhazer haze removal system works "as advertised" and we expect this new haze mitigation technology to bring significant time and cost savings to our photomask clean and control program."
