Lot Information

Lot 1

PURCH2700 Provision of Contract Agreement for the purchase order a Semiconductor and General-Purpose Plasma Etching Tool for the period of 12 months warranty, with the option to extend the warranty period by up to 2 x 12 months.

The tool should also be capable of atomic layer etching.
