Atonarp announces innovative new metrology platform Aston, aimed at increasing yield, throughput, and efficiency in semiconductor manufacturing processes


TOKYO, July 15, 2021 Atonarp, a leading manufacturer of molecular sensing and diagnostics products for the semiconductor, healthcare, and pharma industries, today announced Aston, an innovative in-situ semiconductor metrology platform with an integrated plasma ionization source.

Atonarp's Aston is an innovative in-situ semiconductor metrology platform with an integrated plasma ionization source.
Atonarp’s Aston is an innovative in-situ semiconductor metrology platform with an integrated plasma ionization source.

Aston is a major evolution in metrology for semiconductor production processes, enabling in-situ molecular process control and allowing existing fabs to run more efficiently, driving higher output. Built from the ground up for semiconductor production, Aston is a robust platform that can replace multiple legacy tools and provide unprecedented levels of control across a comprehensive set of applications, including lithography, dielectric and conductive etch and deposition, chamber clean, chamber matching, and abatement.

"With Aston, we’ve seen unit process throughput increases exceeding 40% in certain applications – that’s a big improvement. Even a 1% improvement in overall fab throughput can add up to tens of millions of dollars a year in production for a typical fab," said Prakash Murthy, CEO, CTO, and founder of Atonarp.

"Retrofitting Aston to an existing production process tool can deliver greater throughput within just six to eight weeks, compared to up to a year when installing new production equipment," said Murthy. "This will materially help manufacturers increase their production levels and help to address the current shortage of semiconductor fab capacity."

Rapid, actionable endpoint detection (EPD) is the most efficient way to run a semiconductor tool and fab. Until now, EPD could not be deployed in many process steps because the required in-situ sensor would not survive the harsh process or chamber cleaning chemicals, or would alternatively suffer clogging from condensate deposits. Historically, fabs were forced to use a fixed time in order to ensure that a process was complete. Conversely, Aston optimizes production by detecting exactly when a process has finished, including chamber cleaning, which can reduce the required clean-time by up to 80%.

Aston is resistant to corrosive gases and gaseous contaminant condensates. It is more robust than existing solutions, featuring independent dual ionization sources – a classic electron impact ionization source and a filament-less plasma ionizer – that work reliably in the harsh conditions encountered in semiconductor production. This enables Aston to be used in-situ, in demanding environments where traditional electron ionizers would corrode and fail very rapidly.

Aston offers an interval between service events that is up to 100 times longer compared to legacy mass analyzers. It includes self-cleaning capability that eliminates the build-up resulting from the deposition of condensates present in certain processes.

Since Aston generates its own plasma, it works with or without process plasma present. This provides a clear advantage over optical emission spectroscopy metrology techniques, which require a plasma source to operate, making Aston ideal for ALD and certain metal deposition processes that may use a weak, pulsed, or no plasma for processing.

Aston also delivers improved process consistency by offering quantified, actionable, real-time data, facilitating powerful machine learning via artificial intelligence (AI) for the most demanding process applications. This is in addition to enhanced line and product yields, thanks to high accuracy, sensitivity, and repeatability for statistical analysis of real-time data and process chamber management.

Aston is primarily aimed at use with chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and etching applications, both of which are registering annual growth rates in their usage exceeding 13%. The spectrometer can either be installed within new process chambers during their assembly, or retrofitted into existing chambers already in operation.

Aston can also be used with Psi, an intelligent pressure controller developed by ATI Korea. After undergoing a comprehensive, multi-month technical feasibility evaluation, this combined solution was recently purchased by Samsung for an advanced process control application.

Aston is now available for evaluation and ordering, through either direct purchase or Atonarp’s global partner network.

ANNKE Introduces New NightChroma™ NC800 PoE IP Camera Featuring Breakthrough 4K Ultra HD Color Night Vision, f/1.0 Super Aperture, and AI Processing Power

HONG KONG, June 8, 2021 — ANNKE, created for security, today launched NightChromaTM NC800, the world’s most powerful & advanced IP camera ever, pushing the limits of what’s possible in video surveillance. The ANNKE-designed 1/1.2” sensor, f/1.0 super aperture, and other high-end technologies deliver a massive leap in night vision clarity – the incredible and futuristic 4K Ultra HD acme full color night vision.

Learn more about the breathtaking innovation in 2021 here:
https://www.annke.com/products/nc800

"We understand how important the night vision surveillance is for our customers. In the past, security cameras only provide black & white or starlight color night vision, which cannot tell the exact details", said Jerry, ANNKE product manager, "Today, the old B&W night vision has been ended with the revolutionary NC800 that offers a colorful visual experience with more true-to-life details even in 0 illumination darkness – there is nothing else like NC800 in the market."

ANNKE NightChroma NC800 4K PoE IP Camera
ANNKE NightChroma NC800 4K PoE IP Camera

f/1.0 Super Aperture & 1/1.2” 4K Sensor Come to NC800

Only f/1.0 super aperture, not f/1.2 or f/2.0, provides the acme color night vision. NC800 PoE camera, equipped with the breakthrough f/1.0 aperture, collects 4X amount of lighting to produce brighter images in darkness, taking the industry-leading video surveillance performance to an entirely new level. 1/1.2” image sensor, the largest sensor adopted in the video surveillance field, demonstrates an extraordinary photovoltaic conversion efficiency, increasing 2X amount of light sensing areas for clearer 4K footages (3840 X 2160 pixels) at smooth 20 fps. The high-performance image signal processor (ISP) renders high-fidelity colors and ensures the clearest streaming even in extremely hot or cold climates. 4X lighting amount & 2X light sensing areas, plus top-level ISP, all enable the camera to capture the most stunning & clearest 4K color night vision in 0 illumination darkness, a completely new upgrade from IR B&W or starlight night vision.

The lens of NC800 IP camera features the latest broad-band anti-reflection coating and extra-low dispersion optical glass, to remove the light flare and enhance the image’s sharpness & color saturation.

ANNKE-Only 130 dB True WDR & 3D DNR

130 dB true WDR, 10X efficiency than 120 dB true WDR, and a revolutionary upgrade on digital WDR, balances every lighting area of a picture to ensure crystal images without overexposed or underexposed issues. True WDR adopts the image sensor and a digital signal processor (DSP) to provide even lighting in all areas in every frame, while digital WDR only uses algorithms to digitally brighten too-dark or dim too-bright areas. ANNKE-designed 3D DNR removes the grainy fuzzy appearances of low-light images and is able to handle moving objects without leaving even a single detail behind, much sharper than security cameras with 2D DNR or without noise reduction technology. ANNKE NightChromaTM NC800, with the unrivaled 130 dB true WDR and 3D DNR, shoots the unparalleled 4K Ultra HD videos even in 0.0005 illumination without supplement light or ambient light.

130 ft Soft Warm Supplement Light Comes to NC800

Simply adding a supplement light to a security camera cannot be called color night vision. NC800 PoE IP camera’s built-in supplement light is extremely soft without glare & no reflection, and turns on automatically in a 0-illumination night to ensure thrilling 4K color night vision. Other security cameras with so-called supplement lights only produce blurry color night vision images that are often overexposed or underexposed, which cannot tell the details at night.

Unique Active Alignment Technology

Acme color night vision can only be realized with top-level R&D abilities, top-notch materials, and top-grade manufacturing techniques. ANNKE’s unique micro-size active alignment technology provides the most accurate focusing and brings the adjustment accuracy to within 4 pixels, smaller than 1/30 hair diameter. The whole alignment project is conducted by the world’s most advanced and high-end machines instead of manual adjustment, ensuring the most accurate focusing for sharper & clearer videos.

The AI Magic Makes a Big Difference in Motion Detection

The superior AI algorithm enables the camera to sense humans and vehicles only, reducing up to 95% of false alarms triggered by animals or random inanimate objects, like raindrops, or changing lighting. AI human and vehicle detection is currently the most advanced and accurate motion detection way in video surveillance. Unlike PIR that detects the object’s temperature or the frame comparison detection that senses the difference between the previous & the current frames, which would lead to a great number of false or unwanted alarms, ANNKE AI human & vehicle detection, adjusted and tested by hundreds of engineers, sends customers instant app pushes and email alerts with snapshots only when a human or vehicle enters the detecting areas. Consumers will be alerted only when it matters without being bothered by any irrelevant alert when they are working, shopping sleeping, or traveling.

The smartest behavior analysis is able to analyze an object’s behaviors for accurate motion alerts too. Users can set up the motion-triggered behaviors, including line crossing, intrusion, region entrance and exit, to detect an object’s behavior and receive real-time alerts when an object crosses the preset virtual line or region, or enters/exits the virtual zones.

Additional Outstanding Features of NightChromaTM NC800

  • The built-in microphone offers the incredible sound quality and delivers the ultimate personal listening experience. The high-fidelity audio with the active noise cancellation enables users to hear the visitors’ voice and the ambient voice from up to 20 ft away.

Goldpac Financial Security Chip Operating System Accelerating the Replacement by Domestic One

HONG KONG, June 4, 2021 — As a reliable Fintech product and service providers, Goldpac Group Limited (stock code: 03315. HK) positively participates and joins hands with domestic mainstream chip manufacturers to continue to carry out the research of financial security chip operating system, for accelerating the financial IC card "localization" process of the whole industrial chain. In the past year, Goldpac has developed and launched a new generation of financial security chip operating system such as "CardArmour", which has not only obtained the endorsement of the state, but also obtained the authoritative qualification certification – embedded software security certification of UnionPay card chip. Since the use of the customer, it has been highly praised.

According to the "Notice on Several Policies on Promoting the High-quality Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry and the Software Industry in the New Era", China needs to improve the innovation capacity and development quality of its industries, accelerate the construction of its domestic science and technology industry, and promote the home-based substitution process. In the Fintech field, with the gradual realization of the localization and autonomization of financial IC card hardware chips and encryption algorithms, it is urgent to accelerate the domestic autonomy, security and control of the financial security chip operating system. As one of authentication enterprises certified by China UnionPay, Goldpac has focused on financial security software and products for nearly thirty years, and has developed a consensus on the importance of accelerating the UnionPay card core chip’s security updates and research and development work through independent controllability, committed to ensure the safety of national economic operation and the property.

Goldpac’s new generation of financial security chip operating system has some performance advantages such as large user space, fast running speed and so on, and also has the advantages of high security. While effectively avoiding the waste of resources, the operating system can be closely combined with domestic safety chips, and the safety protection ability of hardware can be deeply explored, so as to build a protective wall for hardware and software of the chip system, but also build a safe bridge for the effective connection between the application of domestic chip system and the industry ecology. It can be widely used in financial payment, mobile communication, electronic wallet, Internet of Things, transportation, industrial applications and other fields.

In the future, Goldpac will unswervingly promote the independent, innovative and controllable development strategy, actively carry out industrial cooperation with the upstream and downstream enterprises of the industrial chain, strengthen the integration construction of "production, learning and research", and further strengthen the research and development of fully independent and controllable financial IC card products based on domestic high security chips. We will continue to promote product innovation and technological innovation, promote the commercial use of a series of independent controllable products in multi-scene industrialization, and further explore the global market of domestic Fintech products.
