During the show, Axcelis will also host the following events on Thursday, Dec. 14th:

• SiC Power Device Manufacturing Ion Implant Technology
  Exhibitor's TechSPOT Hall 5, 15:30 - 15:50 p.m.
  The power device market is at a critical inflection point as chipmakers transition from 150mm to 200mm SiC wafers. Ion implant equipment needs to offer the flexibility to handle multiple wafer sizes, various substrate types and operate at various implant temperatures.
• Axcelis Happy Hour Celebration
  East Hall 5 Booth #5821, 16:00 – 17:00 p.m.
  Join us for beverages and light snacks and meet the Axcelis team.

President and CEO of Axcelis Technologies Russell Low, said, "We're excited to be a part of this important market and the opportunity to provide the most advanced ion implant technology to Japan chipmakers. Our family of application specific systems address high current, medium current, medium energy, and high energy implant requirements for all existing and emerging IC applications."
