SCREEN-HOLDINGS
9.12.2020 08:02:12 CET | Business Wire | Press release
SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions Co., Ltd. (SCREEN SPE, president: Masato Goto), a SCREEN Holdings Group (TOKYO:7735) company, has finalized development of its new SS-3300S scrubber type1 single wafer cleaning system. The SS-3300S provides highly stable performance at processing speeds of up to 1,000 wafers per hour,2 enabling it to deliver industry-leading productivity. Sales of the system will begin in December.
The data center market has expanded significantly in recent years, driven by the continuing rise in data traffic required for activities such as remote working, e-learning and video streaming. At the same time, rapid adoption of 5G-compatible smartphones and IoT infrastructure mainly for in-vehicle and industrial applications has created growing demand for the sophisticated semiconductors needed by these and other cutting-edge markets.
In response, semiconductor manufacturers have consistently improved the miniaturization and integration of the circuits for advanced logic and memory ICs, leading in turn to an even greater requirement for the removal of microscopic particles during semiconductor manufacturing processes. More specifically, this has created a growing demand for high-throughput scrubber type single wafer cleaning systems that can provide a higher level of cleaning performance as well as more stable processing capabilities.
Based on these trends, SCREEN SPE has developed the SS-3300S, a scrubber type single wafer cleaning system that delivers industry-leading productivity. The SS-3300S inherits the same widely praised processing reliability that has already seen the SS-3200 become the industry de facto standard in this field, with over 500 systems now shipped worldwide. The SS-3300S also makes it possible to continue using exactly the same processing conditions as those developed for the SS-3200, ensuring the smooth introduction of a new system.
In an industry-first3 for a scrubber type system, the SS-3300S is equipped with a new platform enabling the installation of up to 16 chambers. In addition, a new dual transport system dramatically improves production volume for the system footprint, helping the SS-3300S to achieve the industry’s highest level of practical processing capacity at up to 1,000 wph (25% gain compared to conventional models). Similarly, a redesigned control system means the SS-3300S is ready for IoT and inter-system connection, as required by the current transition to smart factories.
1. Method in which wafers are physically cleaned using soft brushes and pure water.
2. Peak throughput during continuous operation with the same flow recipe.
3. Based on SCREEN in-house research.

Hologic Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Reveal Genomics19.10.2026 21:30:00 CEST | Press release
Acquisition would expand Hologic’s oncology diagnostics portfolio to help inform treatment decisions for more women with breast cancer Hologic, a global leader in women’s health, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Reveal Genomics, a precision oncology company based in Barcelona, Spain, that develops advanced genomic diagnostic tests to help personalized cancer treatment, including its HER2DX test to help optimize therapy for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Breast cancer remains one of the most significant health challenges women face today. Reveal Genomics’ tests are highly complementary to Hologic’s existing oncology diagnostics, including the Breast Cancer Index® (BCI) test, the guideline-recognized genomic assay to help inform decisions regarding extended endocrine therapy in women with HR+ early-stage breast cancer. The combination of Hologic’s existing testing with Reveal Genomics’ portfolio represents a significant expansion of Hologic

Vedanta Ltd Doubles Zinc Capacity in South Africa with US$ 600 Mn investment19.10.2026 19:19:00 CEST | Press release
Vedanta Limited doubled its annual zinc production capacity to 500,000 tonnes1in South Africa through an investment of nearly US$ 600 Mn at Gamsberg (Phase II) at Vedanta Zinc International (VZI). Gamsberg has one of the world’s most significant zinc deposits and is VZI’s flagship zinc mine. Inaugurated by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Vedanta Limited Director Priya Agarwal-Hebbar, this expansion marks one of the decade’s largest mining investments in South Africa. It advances Vedanta Limited’s position as the world’s largest2 zinc producer, with a vision of achieving 3 million tonnes of annual production across India and South Africa. Of this, 2 million tonnes are targeted from its subsidiary, Hindustan Zinc Limited the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, while Vedanta Zinc International business aims to contribute 1 million tonnes annually. This expansion strengthens the ZAR 21 Bn (nearly US$ 1.5 Bn) investment commitment Vedanta made at the 2018 South Africa Inve
Unlocking Digital Gold’s US$700bn Opportunity19.10.2026 18:00:00 CEST | Press release
The digital gold market, worth US$45–55bn today, could unlock up to US$700bn in latent demand, according to new research from World Gold Council and Boston Consulting Group. The report points to substantial untapped appetite among retail investors, with nearly nine in ten surveyed saying they would consider digital gold under the right conditions. The US$700bn opportunity represents the report’s estimate of total latent demand that could be released if today’s barriers to adoption were removed, rather than a near-term forecast. The report’s five-year base case sees digital gold growing by around 27% a year to US$160–170bn by 2031. That could rise to US$270–280bn over the same time if more barriers fall faster. Momentum is already building as financial markets undergo a broader digital transformation, bringing tokenised investment products increasingly into the mainstream. Tokenised gold, one segment of the digital gold market alongside vaulted digital gold, has grown fivefold in value
