FY2020 New Products

ACTIS A150 Actinic EUV Patterned Mask Inspection System was

released

This is the world's first EUV patterned mask inspection system

Sept

using EUV light, whose wavelength is much shorter than

2019

DUV light, for inspection light. It achieves a

higher level of defect sensitivity and enables the

detection of printable phase defects. It is also capable of

performing through-pellicle EUV mask inspection.

OPTELICS® HYBRID+ Hybrid Laser Microscope was released

This microscope achieves both multi-functions and high performance with two

Jan

sets of optics - laser confocal and white light confocal - integrated on a single

platform. It adopted hardware improvements such as LED light source for longer

2020

lifetime as well as new software programs for such functions

as measurement assist and AI inspection.

Strategy and Target Market

Focus on market segments where our strengths can be used effectively, where our solutions are differentiated from others, and where the customers appreciate the value we offer.

Target a market where:

  • The customer has an advanced technical requirement in the area of inspection and measurement, and Lasertec has a chance to offer differentiated solutions.
  • The customer appreciates the value of inspection and measurement.
    There is potential for future investment.

Offer optimum solutions in a market segment that large companies find not large enough to justify entry (if the market is large, target a segment where we have a competitive advantage).

Capture a large market share in the segment.

Enter neighboring segments to expand the area of business.

Have multiple market segments like this to pursue multi niche champion strategy.

Note) Effective January 1, 2020, the company split its common stock 2 for 1. The figures of year-end dividend for FT2020 and interim and year-end dividends for FY2021 (forecast) are calculated based on the number of issued shares after the stock split. The figure of year-end dividend per share for FY2020 would be 54 yen if it were calculated using the number of issued shares before the stock split.
