  REHOVOT, ISRAEL, Jul 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Negevtech, a privately held semiconductor equipment company specializing
in wafer inspection solutions, today announced that Micron, one of the
world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions, has
purchased an additional 3300 wafer inspection system to inspect advanced
Flash and DRAM devices at Micron's R&D fab in Boise, Idaho.

    After an on-site evaluation, the 3300 has proven to be a competitive
inspection tool for next generation memory devices, consistently
delivering a compelling combination of high sensitivity and high
throughput results across the entire process flow. In addition to 3 to 4
times improvement in throughput compared to the previous generation
Negevtech system, the 3300 offers industry-leading sensitivity on memory
devices.

    "We are happy that Micron has selected our 3300 wafer inspection system to
support the leading edge Flash and DRAM development efforts underway in
the R&D Fab," said Dr. Rivi Sherman, President and CEO of Negevtech. "We
continue to invest in our core R&D to develop innovative inspection
solutions and drive down the overall cost of ownership for our customers."
