Our customers today increasingly face the combined impact of shorter product lifecycles and rapidly eroding price points within each lifecycle. Consequently, the economics of speed -- getting to market more quickly at high volume and high yield -- have become the primary profitability driver. As they ramp new processes into production, our customers need quick access to the right tools to reach their device performance and yield goals. The Viper 2435's demonstrated ability to accurately and rapidly disposition process tools and wafers can fully support their high-volume manufacturing requirements.
