SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ReVera, a leading provider of
advanced compositional metrology solutions for semiconductor device
manufacturing, announced a second round of funding totaling $11.2 million.
ATA Ventures of Redwood City, Calif. led the investment round, with original
investor Crosslink Capital of San Francisco, Calif. and members of the
company's senior management also participating.
With the funding, ATA Ventures Managing Director Pete Thomas joins the
ReVera Board of Directors along with Michael Stark and Dave Epstein of
Crosslink Capital and Dave Perloff and Dave Ring of ReVera. Pete Thomas
states: "Driven largely by the rapid growth of portable consumer
semiconductor electronics, the latest semiconductor device technologies are
implementing new, compositionally-critical materials and processes at an
unprecedented pace. ReVera is successfully enabling the production of these
new materials with their in-line compositional metrology technology and very
nicely fits our investment target of companies that exhibit unusually superior
technology."
Dave Ring, CEO and President of ReVera, said: "We are delighted to have a
semiconductor industry veteran and highly successful investor such as Pete
Thomas of ATA Ventures join ReVera's Board of Directors. We are also pleased
by the continuing confidence shown by Crosslink Capital through their
additional significant investment. We have seen rapid acceptance of our
RVX1000 compositional metrology tool in leading-edge semiconductor fabs for
production monitoring of advanced ultra-thin dielectric films and other
processes. This round of funding will allow us to accelerate new product
development and our global fan-out to additional customers and applications."
