AGS Plasma Headline News:

San Jose, CA — AGS Plasma Systems released the following late breaking news today.

Carbon Nanotechnology Order

AGS Plasma announced that it has received an order for an advanced MPS-150-ICP plasma deposition tool for use in carbon nanotechnology research. A Biotech firm has been working with AGSP for the last year to develop the new technology required to combine plasma and chemical vapor deposition at very high temperatures necessary for the deposition of nanotubes, nanosheets, and graphene. AGSP president and CEO, Allen Guastavino, said, “This is part of our five year plan to be a leader in delivering solutions to the nanotechnology industry. We are excited to be in on the ground floor of commercializing products in this new and growing market.”

New OEM Module Customer

In another story, AGS Plasma revealed that they have signed with another major semiconductor tool supplier to provide OEM versions of their MPS‑300‑RIE and Degas modules. Guastavino said, “This is our second OEM customer for this part of our new business model of delivering turn-key plasma module solutions at very competitive prices. Buying our mature IP facilitates rapid deployment at minimal investment and risk for any OEM that desires to add plasma processing to their portfolio.” AGSP announced that they have already received a follow-on order from the OEM modules from this new customer.

University Research Partnerships

Director of Sales, Frank Lowry, added, “We continue to foster relationships at research labs and universities. AGS Plasma recently sold a MPS‑200‑RIE to CalPoly for use in their MEMS materials research lab as a deep Silicon etch tool.” AGSP also continues to work with a variety of universities and in industrial partnerships to develop new applications for plasma technology.

Environmental News

Vincent Lanas, AGSP Facilities Coordinator, announced today that AGS Plasma has adopted a Zero Carbon Emissions plan in addition to the company’s ongoing corporate policy of good environmental stewardship. “AGSP has always reduced, reused, and recycled. In 2007 we began an effort to reduce our power usage and we have gained a savings of between 18-29 percent energy savings per month,” Lanas Said. He added that AGSP has implemented a program that renders the company carbon neutral as of July 1, 2008.
