SUSS MicroTec introduced its ASC9500 photomask cleaning system on Monday, November 9, expanding its Photomask Solutions portfolio for mature semiconductor manufacturing. The company said multiple customer requirements have already been identified and manufacturing has begun.
The announcement came in a SUSS corporate release published at 07:30 CET. The ASC9500 is an extendable platform based on the ASC5500 and is designed for technology nodes between 38 and 90 nanometers, depending on configuration.
Platform targets mature-node demand
SUSS said the system is intended for applications including automotive, industrial electronics, power semiconductors and advanced packaging. Its acid-free in-situ UV cleaning technology is designed to reduce chemical consumption and operating costs, while the platform brings functions previously available in high-end cleaning systems to a broader customer base.
The company said the ASC9500 is available now. Together with the APB9500 post-exposure bake solution, it expands the ASx9500 platform for photomask processing. The release did not specify order volume, revenue guidance or a delivery schedule, leaving commercial contribution dependent on customer conversion and execution.
