Taking Control of Cost of Ownership in Semiconductor Production Machinery
When it comes to component selection for semiconductor equipment, the name of the game is often cost of ownership. In other words, how long and how well it will perform as designed out-of-the-box and installed into the system, and ultimately, uptime. Semiconductor work is so precise and delicate, that the slightest instability of an image scanner or a compounding delay in move, acquire, measure (MAM) time can require a diagnostic pause and ultimately up drives the cost of ownership.
