Tokyo Electron Limited (東京エレクトロン株式会社, Tokyo Electron Kabushiki-gaisha, TYO: 8035[3]), or TEL, is an industrial electronics company headquartered in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.[2] TEL is best known as a supplier of equipment to fabricate integrated circuits (IC), flat panel displays (FPD), and photovoltaic cells (PV).[2] Tokyo Electron Device (東京エレクトロンデバイス株式会社, Tokyo Electron Device Kabushiki-gaisha, TYO: 2760), or TED, is a subsidiary of TEL specializing in semiconductor devices, electronic components, networking devices, and related software.[2]

As of 2011, TEL is the largest manufacturer of IC and FPD production equipment in Japan and the third largest in the world. [2]

History

[edit]

Origins

[edit]

On November 11, 1963, Tokyo Electron Laboratories Incorporated was founded by Tokuo Kubo and Toshio Kodaka, largely funded by Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), with a capital of over five million yen. Later that year, their office opened in the TBS main building and began manufacturing thousands of quality-control and importing diffusion furnaces made by Thermco and selling Japanese-made car radios.[4]

In 1965, the company approached a rapidly growing business in the market, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, and agreed to serve as a sales agency for them, increasing their capital to twenty million yen and began exporting IC testers, IC sockets, IC connectors, and other similar computer components.[4]

They opened a new office in San Francisco, California and their new branch, Pan Electron in 1968 establishing themselves as the only stocking distributor of imported electronic components in the region.[4]

One year later, they opened their still-functioning Yokohama office and established Teltron, a major manufacturer and distributor of car stereos, expanding their headquarters to fill the entire TBS-2 building and raising their capital to 100 million yen.[4]

Products

[edit]

TEL's main product categories are:

  1. Semiconductor production equipment (SPE)
  2. FPD/PV production equipment
  3. Electronic components and computer networks

Semiconductor production equipment (SPE)

[edit]

TEL produces SPE for the following purposes: [2]

Thermal processing
Deposition of thin layers of dielectric material between transistors onto the silicon wafer surface in a heated low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) or oxidation process[5]
Photoresist coating/developing
Photoresist coating and developing to project a microscopic circuitry pattern on the wafer inphotolithography[6]
Plasma etching[7]
Dielectric Etch System, Silicon Etch System
Cleaning
Wafer surface cleaning to remove foreign particles or contaminants such as dust[8]

auto wet station, single wafer cleaning system, pre-clean system, scrubber system

Single wafer chemical vapor deposition
Deposition of thin layers of various materials, such as tungsten, tungsten silicide, titanium,titanium nitride, and tantalum oxide[9]
Wafer probing
Wafer probers for testing the functionality and performance of each die on the wafer[10]
Material modification/doping
Surface modification and doping using gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) technology[11]
Corrective etching/trimming
Corrective etching and trimming of thin films such as silicon, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, aluminium nitride, and metals[12]
Integrated metrology[13]
(co-developed by TEL and KLA Tencor)

In particular, TEL leads the markets of photoresist coater/developers and thermal processing systems.[1]

FPD/PV production equipment

[edit]
FPD photoresist coater/developing
FPD plasma etching/plasma ashing
Plasma CVD for thin-film solar cells
End-to-end thin-film solar cell solutions
TEL is the sole Asia/Oceania representative of Oerlikon Solar, a Swiss manufacturer of thin-film solar cells.[1]
