FABSURPLUS.COM Announces In-House Enhanced Re-Manufacturing of Advanced Nikon Silicon Wafer Photolithography Step and Scan Equipment.
SDI-Fabsurplus announced a new independent service of Nikon Stepper refurbishment targeted at customers wishing to acquire remanufactured, fully-demonstrated, advanced lithography systems manufactured by Nikon Inc.
Stephen Howe, CEO of SDI-Fabsurplus, said, "We have completed the first stage of our project and successfully demonstrated lithography in-house at 0.4 um on a Nikon i7A stepper, designed only to achieve 0.5 um, providing enhanced capabilities on top of a state-of-the-art refurbishment.
Our success was achieved following months of careful preparation for the project, including setting up an advanced refurbishment centre and selecting the finest 3rd-party service engineers to carry out the work.

You can look at more information and pictures about the refurbishment here:
Refurbishing a Nikon Stepper: A SDI Fabsurplus.com Success Story

We have adopted Japanese work-practices in over-specifying performance parameters where possible to constantly improve our final results."
"This new achievement complements our established refurbishment capabilities for KLA-Tencor inspection equipment, Hitachi SEMs, Varian Implanters and Gasonics L3510 Ashers," Howe said.
"SDI-Fabsurplus can now offer full support for enhancement, removal, refurbishment, installation and demonstration of Nikon steppers of i-line models up to i14 and earlier DUV systems. All systems can be demonstrated at SDI-Fabsurplus's new refurbishment facility and cleanroom located at Avezzano, near Rome, Italy.
Our Avezzano Tech centre includes 800 mq of warehouse space, temperature controlled storage areas and a class 10 cleanroom." "We hope that our latest technical achievement will effectively demonstrate to the market that SDI-Fabsurplus is not only one of the largest multinational semiconductor equipment brokerages, but also has an in-depth understanding of the products bought and sold.
Now that we have substantial venture capital backing we are ready to take on ever more large-scale projects in response to the market." "We see ourselves filling a market segment that will cater for some of the clients currently not satisfied with the level of flexibility and quality in support offered by Nikon, not to mention the obvious cost-savings we can offer over Nikon pricing due to our low overheads." "SDI will continue to invest for future growth in high-technology techniques in lithography, inspection and software development to provide better, more attractive products for our clients."
