ASQ Technology is recognized as one of the nation's leading authorities on boat design for semiconductor wafer process technology. Our state-of-the-art, patented design has made all previous quartz boats obsolete and primitive by comparison. Our new design provides:

• The lowest particulate counts in the industry.
• Significantly improved process uniformity.
• Elimination of thermal stress-related wafer damage.
• Elimination of wafer rattling when the boat is moved.
• Major increases in production throughput.
• Up to five times the useful life of conventional boats.

We sincerely believe that we offer products that are superior to our competitors, by design and engineering. Our patented angle slot boats provide unique solutions to many common diffusion problems. This unique approach results in higher yields with significantly increased throughput.

We encourage you to compare for yourself. Directly evaluate ASQ products against that which you are presently using. We are confident that you will reaffirm the added benefits of ASQ, in terms of process uniformity, product life, ease of use, and bottom line savings.

Sincerely,

Steve Lee, Ph.D
