Dr. Giora Dishon, President & CEO of Nova commented, We are pleased with the improvement in our results this quarter. We recently launched the new line of our advanced NovaScan 3090 systems. The new line includes systems for CMP, CD and Copper. The market reception has been very good, and these new systems contributed more than 20% of the system revenue this quarter. This, together with wins of large purchase orders with strategic customers during the quarter, contributed to our revenue growth. Furthermore, in the industry as a whole we are seeing signs of recovery, even though with still limited visibility. We therefore remain cautious, but optimistic.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para (List) Flush Lv 0- TNR" FSL="Workstation"
Dr. Dishon continued, As our systems continue to penetrate the process segments of Copper CMP and Etch for high volume manufacturing, we expect to gain market share in subsequent quarters. Looking to the future, towards more advanced technology nodes such as 45nm, we are continuing our investment in developing the leading edge next-generation metrology systems, which we believe will support our long-term growth.
