MIGDAL HA’EMEK, Israel, February 1st, 2006 – Camtek Ltd. (Nasdaq: CAMT, TASE: CAMT) announced today that it has received two orders totaling $1.9 million from a major Taiwanese manufacturer of advanced IC substrates.
The orders are for multiple high-end Pegasus and Dragon Fine Line systems, which the Company plans to deliver and recognize as revenue during the first quarter of 2006.
“This customer manufactures high density substrates for advanced IC packaging”, said Cliff Young, General Manager of Camtek Taiwan. “These substrates contain dense patterns and laser micro-vias that present certain challenges to automated optical inspection (AOI). The customer selected Camtek for its ability to deliver a complete inspection solution throughout the production line – from large area masks, using the previously-purchased LAM system, through inner and outer layers in panel form to finished substrates in strip form. In addition to productivity advantages, Camtek’s suite of software packages for defect data analysis supports the customer’s on-line process control.”
Rafi Amit, CEO of Camtek added, “Recently, we have been seeing some growth in sales of our products to the PCB industry, in particular high-end products for the HDI segment. These orders are a part of this trend. They further support our previously-announced revenue guidance of $20-23 million for this quarter.”
