SpeedFam-IPEC
provides customer convenience by using e-try.com simulations
"We can
bring our products to the customer 24/7"
Scottsdale,
Arizona - July 12, 1999 - A new Internet simulation application allows
prospective customers to experience complex semiconductor machinery at their
convenience---even at 3 in the morning.
e-try.com has created a simulation for
SpeedFam-IPECs AvantGaard 776 Orbital CMP System. The e-try.com simulation
shows how a silicon wafer is processed through the complex AvantGaard 776 Orbital CMP
System.
"The e-try.com simulation of the
AvantGaard 776 brings our product to the customer so we can sell 24/7," said
SpeedFam-IPEC Director of Strategic Marketing Paul Clayton. "Through the Internet,
our prospects can review our product in detail, and in the comfort and convenience of
their environment.
"The e-try.com simulation leads a
customer through the entire process performed by the 776 highlighting key features such as
the unique polishing motion on the wafer," Clayton adds. "These are complex
processes made visual to the customer by the e-try.com demonstration."
e-try.coms unique applications
allow web-purchasers to experience complex products on the Internet. Many of these
products typically are not purchased over the Internet because of their complexity or
newness to the market. With e-try.com, prospective buyers can manipulate the web
site demonstrations to realize the products features and benefits.
The Copper Alliance displays the complete
semiconductor copper process
The Copper Alliance consists of
SpeedFam-IPEC, Novellus and Lam.
e-try.coms Copper Showroom features the
equipment of the Copper Alliance.
"The Copper Alliance features the best
of the semiconductor industry," Clayton says. "We are stronger together than we
are separately as we can deliver an integrated process to the customer. This format gives
us a great opportunity to show the Copper Alliance expertise and benefits to potential
customers."
e-try.com provides the critical link
in e-commerce between product research and purchasing by allowing prospective buyers to be
active participants when trying the products online.
e-try.com is also the developer of the
innovative, and one of a kind "Showroom of the Internet." The e-try.com site
has the ability to feature realistic, interactive product simulations for a variety of
markets and industries. These include, but are not limited to, consumer electronics,
industrial equipment, medical equipment and industrial and business services.
Currently the e-try.com site has
simulations for a number of industrial, semiconductor manufacturing and networking
products.
e-try.com is based on proprietary
technology developed by this Internet software development company that was founded in
1997. The e-try.com concept is based on the founders more than 30 years of
experience in developing software products that help people understand and use technology.
