ATMI and Matheson Tri-Gas Deliver SDS(R)3 for Enhanced Safety and
Productivity 3rd Generation SDS Delivers Up to Three Times More Gas
DANBURY, Conn., May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ATMI, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ATMI) and Matheson Tri-Gas, suppliers of materials and
materials packaging and delivery systems to the world's leading
semiconductor manufacturers, today announced the 3rd generation
Safe Delivery Source -- the semiconductor industry's only
sub-atmospheric storage and delivery system -- called "SDS(R)3."
Using ATMI's new monolithic carbon adsorbent, the SDS3 is able to
store and deliver 2 to 3 times as much ion implant dopant gas as
the 2nd generation SDS2 -- or the equivalent of 10 to 20 dilute
high-pressure gas cylinders -- in the same footprint. "The launch
of SDS3 is a direct response to our customers' needs for higher gas
deliverables and reduced costs, without compromising the safety of
their implant operations," said Jim Dietz, ATMI's Director of
Implant Marketing. "Our patented High-Density Monolithic Carbon
(HD-MC(TM)) adsorbent creates manufacturing efficiencies for us,
which translates into a lower cost per gram for our customers."
"With ATMI's HD-MC(TM) adsorbent, we've once again improved both
gas handling safety and productivity," said Volker Heilmann,
Vice-President for Sub-atmospheric Gas Products at Matheson Tri-
Gas. "All SDS3 cylinders are now specially leak tested with a
patented chamber test procedure to 1x10-8 atm -- cc/sec. This is
approximately 1000 times lower than typical industry standards.
Since we joined forces with ATMI more than ten years ago, Matheson
Tri-Gas and ATMI have shipped over 75,000 SDS cylinders without any
significant gas release incidents. We believe that no other product
offers a better total cost of ownership for our customers. In
conjunction with the intrinsic safety this product provides, SDS's
value proposition is now even more compelling." The SDS3 is
initially available in JY-size cylinders, for arsine, phosphine,
and enriched boron trifluoride gas species. About ATMI's HD-MC(TM)
Adsorbent Technology SDS3 incorporates High-Density Monolithic
Carbon; a new form of carbon adsorbent developed at ATMI. HD-MC is
engineered to reduce internal cylinder void space by 50% over the
SDS2, while also accepting higher loadings of implant gases. The
gas molecules latch onto the surface of the adsorbent thereby
reducing the gas pressure to sub-atmospheric levels, which
virtually eliminates the possibility of a significant gas release.
And, since there is no longer the hazard of a high-pressure gas
release, more process gas can be stored in the cylinder. About
