What is Core Systems?
Founded in 1990, Core Systems has established itself as a world leader in semiconductor ion implant outsourcing technology. Initially providing embedded microcontrollers for ion implant equipment, the company evolved to offer comprehensive services including the refurbishment of NV-10 implanter disks and PVD silicon coating. By 2002, Core Systems expanded its capabilities to twelve implanters, launching a production implant service to meet growing demand for alternatives to existing providers. Headquartered in Fremont, CA, the company specializes in repairing, refurbishing, and remanufacturing disks and heat sinks for all makes and models of batch processing ion implanters, supporting equipment dating back to the late 1970s. Their unique value proposition lies in extending the life of critical implant equipment and lowering the cost of ownership for Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) by providing custom support and solutions for field problems and design limitations.
