Samsung Electronics has placed a multimillion-dollar repeat order for PAS 5500/300B deep-UV and PAS 500/200B i-line steppers from ASM Lithography. The multiple systems are scheduled for delivery through 1997 to the South Korean chipmaker's most advanced 200-mm wafer fabs. The large order continues ASML's foray into the Korean market, says the vendor, which opened its subsidiary, ASML Korea Co., in July 1996. The business unit has plans to open a $4-million lithography training center by the end of 1997. Lumonics/Oxnard Operations has shipped what the company claims is the first production 300-mm wafer laser marking system. Shin-Etsu Handotni, a
