Axcelis Technologies Launches the Purion Power Series+

Axcelis Technologies, Inc., a prominent player in the semiconductor industry, formally introduced their new Purion Power Series+™ ion implant platform. This launch marks a significant advancement tailored for next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, focusing particularly on improved performance and increased productivity.

The Purion Power Series+ encompasses an extensive range of ion implant products, including the Purion H200+ SiC, optimized for high current medium energy applications, the Purion M+ SiC for medium current, and both the Purion XE+ SiC and Purion EXE+ SiC for high energy applications. This diverse lineup ensures that Axcelis is well-positioned to cater to various market needs.

Dr. Greg Redinbo, Executive Vice President at Axcelis, expressed enthusiasm about this innovative product platform. He stated, "We’re excited to launch the Company's new Purion Power Series+ platform. Axcelis has a long history of collaborating closely with our customers to develop innovative solutions for their high value challenges. The Purion Power Series+ family is uniquely suited to address these challenges due to its innovative platform that offers the flexibility to handle multiple wafer sizes (150mm and 200mm), substrate types (including SiC, Si, GaN, and GaAs wafers) and implant temperatures (room temperature, warm and hot). This is accomplished while also delivering the industry's highest throughput and capital efficiency."

The Purion Power Series+ is engineered to advance the performance criteria of semiconductor devices, as the industry moves toward more complex architectures like superjunction technology, which demands precise ion implantation for optimal functionality. Dr. Russell Low, President and CEO of Axcelis, added, "We are proud to be the innovation and market leader in ion implantation solutions for power devices. Axcelis was the first to market with a comprehensive portfolio of implanters with innovative capabilities specifically structured to meet the high-volume manufacturing needs of the power device sector.
