Tokyo Electron Limited (東京エレクトロン株式会社, Tokyo Electron Kabushiki-gaisha, TYO: 8035[3]), or TEL, is an industrial electronics company headquartered in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.[2] TEL is best known as a supplier of equipment to fabricate integrated circuits (IC), flat panel displays (FPD), and photovoltaic cells (PV).[2] Tokyo Electron Device (東京エレクトロンデバイス株式会社, Tokyo Electron Device Kabushiki-gaisha, TYO: 2760), or TED, is a subsidiary of TEL specializing in semiconductor devices, electronic components, networking devices, and related software.[2]
As of 2011, TEL is the largest manufacturer of IC and FPD production equipment in Japan and the third largest in the world. [2]
History[edit]
Origins[edit]
On November 11, 1963, Tokyo Electron Laboratories Incorporated was founded by Tokuo Kubo and Toshio Kodaka, largely funded by Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS), with a capital of over five million yen. Later that year, their office opened in the TBS main building and began manufacturing thousands of quality-control and importing diffusion furnaces made by Thermco and selling Japanese-made car radios.[4]
In 1965, the company approached a rapidly growing business in the market, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, and agreed to serve as a sales agency for them, increasing their capital to twenty million yen and began exporting IC testers, IC sockets, IC connectors, and other similar computer components.[4]
They opened a new office in San Francisco, California and their new branch, Pan Electron in 1968 establishing themselves as the only stocking distributor of imported electronic components in the region.[4]
One year later, they opened their still-functioning Yokohama office and established Teltron, a major manufacturer and distributor of car stereos, expanding their headquarters to fill the entire TBS-2 building and raising their capital to 100 million yen.[4]

Products[edit]
TEL's main product categories are:
- Semiconductor production equipment (SPE)
- FPD/PV production equipment
- Electronic components and computer networks
Semiconductor production equipment (SPE)[edit]
TEL produces SPE for the following purposes: [2]
- Thermal processing
- Deposition of thin layers of dielectric material between transistors onto the silicon wafer surface in a heated low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) or oxidation process[5]
- Photoresist coating/developing
- Photoresist coating and developing to project a microscopic circuitry pattern on the wafer inphotolithography[6]
- Plasma etching[7]
- Dielectric Etch System, Silicon Etch System
- Cleaning
- Wafer surface cleaning to remove foreign particles or contaminants such as dust[8]
auto wet station, single wafer cleaning system, pre-clean system, scrubber system
- Single wafer chemical vapor deposition
- Deposition of thin layers of various materials, such as tungsten, tungsten silicide, titanium,titanium nitride, and tantalum oxide[9]
- Wafer probing
- Wafer probers for testing the functionality and performance of each die on the wafer[10]
- Material modification/doping
- Surface modification and doping using gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) technology[11]
- Corrective etching/trimming
- Corrective etching and trimming of thin films such as silicon, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide, aluminium nitride, and metals[12]
- Integrated metrology[13]
- (co-developed by TEL and KLA Tencor)
In particular, TEL leads the markets of photoresist coater/developers and thermal processing systems.[1]
FPD/PV production equipment[edit]
- FPD photoresist coater/developing
- FPD plasma etching/plasma ashing
- Plasma CVD for thin-film solar cells
- End-to-end thin-film solar cell solutions
- TEL is the sole Asia/Oceania representative of Oerlikon Solar, a Swiss manufacturer of thin-film solar cells.[1]
