Sagitta proudly announces that it has been awarded the prestigious Editors' Choice Best Product Award, presented annually by Semiconductor International magazine, for its Cross Sectioning System, an automatic Sub-Micron Polisher, for semiconductor failure analysis. Sagitta is pleased that the editors of SI Magazine have recognized the fact that Sagitta has developed a product that is truly making a difference in semiconductor manufacturing.
The growing complexity of new processes and materials is driving deep sub-micron defect engineering to require greater accuracy, decreased preparation times and increased success rates. Sagitta's Cross Sectioning System answers the greatest challenges of the failure analyst by incorporating advanced opto-mechanics, absolute computerized controls and image processing algorithms for unprecedented accuracy, improved success rates and increased overall failure analysis productivity.
"Sagitta's Cross Sectioning tool integrates the polishing process into a single automated tool. The system is based on our proprietary Sub-Micron Polishing Technology (SMPT™), which enables 0.1um accuracy to the target. This is reached due to the full control of the polishing parameters and advanced machine vision indicating the end point of the polishing process. This concept introduces an innovative and alternative solution for sample preparation," stated Mr. Guy Shechter, Sagitta's VP of R&D.
Commenting on the award, Mr. Ori Sarfaty, Sagitta's CEO added, "being recognized by the editors of Semiconductor International Magazine for product excellence affirms Sagitta's position as a leading provider of automated sample preparation solutions for semiconductor failure analysis. We are very proud to have received this prestigious award, a further confirmation that the relationships established with our global partners, and our aggressive marketing and sales activities, are all advancing us towards unrivaled leadership. We will continue our strategy of product innovation and continuous new equipment introduction to answer the sample preparation needs of today while leading the way to the failure analysis solutions of tomorrow."
"Collecting a group of candidates from which we select the winners is a year-round effort" noted Semiconductor International Associate Editor John Baliga. "The Editors' Choice Best Products program differs from traditional magazine award competitions in that products are nominated by users, from whom we get input that verifies that each product has successfully shown superior performance in semiconductor manufacturing."
