BUT has the O/S increased? as of november the OS was 15 mill
A/S now 500 million (from 40M), not good.
They increased the authorized shares to 500 million, which is not good. Will they issue more shares naer term? Any thought. SUFH has potential but I am worring about dilution
"...On December 13, 2007, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from 40,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. "
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/071220/sufh.ob8-k.html
Thanks micro, excellent find.
So far order for 12 tools = $4.8 million
10 tools to texas based solar company
1 tool to US based wafer bump company
1 tool to taiwan based wafer bump company
The average price = $400,000, so total sales = $4.8 million
From earlier press release:
"The price for these development tools is less than US$500,000 for the 300mm tool and less than US$300,000 for the 200mm tool, well below today's million dollar entry point for larger competitive multiple-cell tools,"
SUFH also does inhouse electroplating..
Price of Ascent and LeapFrog tools
Any idea what's the price of a Ascent & Leap frog tool?
They will sell about 10 such tools to the solar manufacturer in Texas, which is excellent and might be the begining. However for investors, it will be very helpful to know the price of each tool
Huge Dilution:A/S 500 million,watching from sideline
This company has potential. Getting contract from Solar manufacturer as well as from general semiconductor industry. It may grow by earning revenue in few months. However they are doing huge dilution. O/S may hit 200 million near term and stock price could hit $0.05 or under. I'm watching this company from sideline.
I had an engineer friend who works for KLA look into SUFH's technology, he just got back to me today... he says the technology is a definite advancement.
He says the sector will be in a down cycle until mid next year so buy cautiously.

"The use of electroless metal plating is key for producing cost-effective RFID components," --- Here is glimpse into the future of the behemoth RFID market.
RFID Forecasts, Players & Opportunities 2006 - 2016
Your complete guide to the RFID markets and opportunities
By Raghu Das and Dr Peter Harrop
This essential report analyses the rapidly growing and diversifying market for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) with detailed ten year forecasts. Cumulative sales of RFID tags for sixty years until the beginning of 2006 total 2.5 billion, with 600 million tags being sold in 2005 alone. In 2006, IDTechEx expect 1.3 billion tags to be sold, with 500million RFID smart labels for pallet and case level tagging but the majority into a range of diverse markets from baggage and passports to contactless payment cards and drugs.
In the short term large "closed loop" markets requiring high value RFID will remain very profitable and companies will seek to position themselves as the leader in hardware and integration in different vertical market segments. Challenges with tag yield versus cost, frequency acceptance, specification creep and required performance levels are some of the key issues that are being resolved to grow the RFID market exponentially over coming years to be almost ten times the size in 2016 that it will be in 2006. At 2016, IDTechEx see the value of the total market including systems and services to rocket to $26.23Bn from $2.77Bn in 2006. This includes many new markets that are being created, such as the market for Real Time Location Systems using active RFID, which will itself be more than $6Bn in 2016.
Such growth will be driven by the tagging of high volume items - notably consumer goods, drugs and postal packages - at the request of retailers, military forces and postal authorities and for legal reasons. In these cases, the primary benefits sought will be broader and include cost, increased sales, improved safety, reduced crime and improved customer service

Your nano looks real good so far, incite.
Indirectly O/T. Fascinating work at the University of Arizona
QuIET molecular transistors
Physicists from the University of Arizona think they've found a way to use single molecules as working transistors. As traditional transistors will not shrink much smaller than 25 nanometers, they thought about making transistors as small as a nanometer by looking at quantum mechanics and using benzene, a ring-like molecule. They even have applied for a patent for this transistor, called "Quantum Interference Effect Transistor," or 'QuIET' for short. But the arrival of such ultrasmall transistors is not scheduled before at least a dozen years, so don't dream today of nanocomputers or nanorobots traveling inside your bodies. Read more...
Here is the first paragraph of the University of Arizona news release, which obviously has learned something from PR people.
University of Arizona physicists have discovered how to turn single molecules into working transistors. It's a breakthrough needed to make the next-generation of remarkably tiny, powerful computers that nanotechnologists dream of.
The physicists, which include Charles Stafford and Sumit Mazumdar, realized several years ago -- as many other people in the field also did -- that the current approach to develop transistors was reaching its physical limits. And they "realized that quantum mechanics [could] solve the problem of how to regulate current flow in a single-molecule transistor that would work at room temperature." This led to their Quantum Interference Effect Transistor.
So how will this work?
The simplest molecule they propose for a transistor is benzene, a ring-like molecule. They propose attaching two electrical leads to the ring to create two alternate paths through which current can flow. They also propose attaching a third lead opposite one of the electrical leads. Other researchers have succeeded in attaching two contacts to a molecule this small, but attaching the third is the trick -- and the point. The third lead is what turns the device on and off, the "valve."
"In classical physics, the two currents through each arm of the ring would just add," Stafford said. "But quantum mechanically, the two electron waves interfere with each other destructively, so no current gets through. That's the 'off' state of the transistor." The transistor is turned on by changing the phase of the waves so they don't destructively interfere with each other, opening up additional paths through the third lead.
It will probably take a dozen years or more before nanocomputers can be built. But according to one researcher, such nanocomputers could have a major impact in medicine.
"These machines could operate in solution, in vivo. There already are clinical trials of nanoparticles to deliver medicinal drugs. Imagine how much more powerful those little nanoparticles or nanorobots would be if they could count, or do simple computation. With our transistors packed at maximum density, you could put a microprocessor as powerful as the top-of-the-line workstation on the back of an E. coli," [said David Cardamone, who received his doctorate from UA in 2005.]
This research work was published online by Nano Letters in July 2006 under the title "Controlling Quantum Transport through a Single Molecule" and should appear as the cover story of the November printed version of the journal.

SIA Forecast: Microchip Industry Will Reach $321 Billion in 2009
-Consumer purchases driving industry growth -
SAN JOSE, Calif. – November 16, 2006– The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today released its annual forecast of global semiconductor sales, projecting that the industry will continue to ride a strong wave of consumer demand for electronic products, driving sales to $321 billion in 2009. The SIA forecast projects a compound annual growth rate of 9 percent for the forecast period, 2006-2009. Total worldwide microchip sales in 2005 amounted to $227.5 billion.
The new forecast projects that sales will reach $248.8 billion in 2006, an increase of 9.4 percent, followed by increases of 10 percent to $273.8 billion in 2007, 10.8 percent to $303.4 billion in 2008, and 5.8 percent to $321 billion in 2009.
“Consumer purchases of a broad range of electronic products continue to grow as the leading driver of demand for semiconductors,” said SIA President George Scalise. “Traditional consumer electronics products, such as digital cameras, digital televisions, and MP3 player players now account for nearly 20 percent of all semiconductor consumption. The newest, most advanced consumer electronics products tend to have high semiconductor content. Consumers are also the principal buyers of cell phones which drive another 20 percent of semiconductor sales. When consumer purchases of automobiles, personal computers, and other electronic products are taken into consideration, consumers account for more than half of all semiconductor consumption.”
Unit sales of cell phones are expected to increase by more than 20 percent in 2006 to more than 1 billion units. With an average semiconductor content of $41 per unit, the cell phone market is now the second-largest consumer of semiconductors, after personal computers. Other rapidly growing product segments include digital cameras with projected 11 percent unit growth, MP3 players with projected 35 percent unit growth, digital televisions with projected 56 percent unit growth, and personal computers with projected 10 percent unit growth.
“Consumer purchases of electronic products have also taken on increased importance as a driver of technology advances for the semiconductor industry,” said Scalise. “The highest-performance – and most expensive – PCs on the market today are not designed for corporate use, but for gaming enthusiasts who demand theatre-quality sound and graphics, which in turn require extremely high-performance microprocessors, graphics processors, and large amounts of the highest-performance memory available.
“Full-featured cell phones, with cameras, MP3 capability, TV access, and other new features, are also driving advances in chip technology,” Scalise continued. “Consumers, who purchase the vast majority of cell phones, are demanding more and more features that in turn are increasing the semiconductor content. This is true even in developing markets. Today in China, nearly 90 percent of all GSM handsets have color screens, while more than 60 percent have cameras, and about half have MP3 capabilities. Next year we expect to see cell phones with global positioning satellite (GPS) capabilities. The addition of these features requires high-performance flash memory, DSP circuits, RG chips, and image-sensing devices.”
MOS logic devices continue to be the largest product sector. The forecast projects that sales of MOS logic devices will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8 percent through 2009, driven by digital consumer products, wireless, and programmable products.
DRAM sales are projected to be the fastest-growing segment with a compound annual growth rate of more than 14 percent in 2006-2009. DRAM sales are expected to be especially strong for the remainder of 2006 and in 2007 as PC makers add memory to accommodate the Windows Vista operating system.
Digital signal processors (DSPs) are the second-fastest growing market segment, with sales projected to grow at a 13 percent compound annual rate through 2009. DSP sales are driven by continuing strength in the cell phone market and new consumer applications, such as high-definition camcorders.
Analog product sales, driven by industrial, wireless, and other portable electronic applications, are forecasted to grow at a compound annual rate of 11 percent through 2009.
The new forecast breaks out NAND and NOR flash for the first time. Sales of NAND flash are projected to grow at compound annual rate of 11 percent through 2009. Growth of NAND flash is driven by replacement of hard drives in consumer applications such as MP3 players and the requirements of portable storage media in applications such as digital photography. Laptop computers with pure NAND drives are projected to account for up to 25 percent of the laptop market by 2009.
Major Semiconductor Product Categories
Discrete products are projected to grow by 8.8 percent to $16.6 billion in 2006 and to $19.9 in 2009, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9 percent. Discrete components include power transistors and radio frequency (RF) transistors that are found in wireless consumer products.
Optoelectronic device sales are projected to grow by 12.3 percent to $16.7 billion in 2006 and to $22.1 billion in 2009, a CAGR of 10.4 percent. Optoelectronics devices include image-sensors that are used in camera phone and digital still camera applications.

Semiconductor Assembly Industry Background and Trends
· As the Industry continues the task of packing more processing power and higher radio frequency onto silicon devices the challenge was to exploit smaller features and sub-90-nanometer technology. Now going beyond those limits requires convergence of the packaging technology to perform at higher levels of efficiency. In the semiconductor industry efficiency in speed and thermal dynamics is achieved by miniaturizing the components thus reducing signal distance and power consumption. The convergence of the packaging as a performance enabler has created new opportunities at the top tier fabs that have embraced flip chip bonding and the chip-scale package that results as the next wave form-factor that can yield high returns if practiced in-house with wafer-scale assembly techniques. This requires, more robust packages and inexpensive fabrication processes, current deposition methods are proving inadequate
Chipmakers such as Intel, TI, Motorola, HP and others are aggressively exploring alternatives to solder paste printing and conventional vacuum processing. Key to this growth is simplifying the process and providing platforms which enable faster development and the ability to improve returns on invested capital (ROIC) with smaller capacity increments at lower capital cost.
Meeting the needs of semiconductor manufacturers: a more cost effective compact wafer bumping platform:
Surfect’s compact wafer plating tools have currently been made available only to select US and Taiwan companies but will quickly be available to all major semiconductor companies in all key market areas. These tools meet industry requirements for more cost effective, smaller capacity increments, independent or networked cell operation, multi-metal deposition, embedded process expertise, as well as compatibility of all of the major chemistry suppliers worldwide.
Compact Single Wafer Multi-metal Plating Tools offer competitive advantages. We believe that we have several advantages over large multi-cell competitors. The key competitors offer high-cost, legacy multi-cell or multi-tank systems designed to process only one metal at a time. Surfect’s compact plating computer not only enables multi-metal capability in a continuous and repeatable manner but replaces the traditional legacy cell to cell
and tank to tank wafer transfer with a more powerful single cell plating computer concept. Surfect’s cells enable improved metrology and plating operation due to the real-time monitoring and process control provided in the single process chamber. Where the competitors spend cost on robotic handling in moving wafers throughout their tools, we reduce the wafer damage by minimizing handling yet providing more powerful process control and process capability. Surfect’s lower-cost and value-added tools are accessible in a faster, easier-to-use format and can be located in more factory locations due to the reduction in leakage through sealed chemistry tank plug and plate designs.
Surfect’s tools and process offer cost and product advantages to the IC manufacturers on a worldwide basis. When operating Surfect’s plating tools, Surfect believes that operators and companies will see an improvement in uptime and utilization due to a simpler design and may also see a reduction in chemistry cost where the company’s layered alloy creation technology can be used versus the more traditional and expensive pre-mixed alloy chemistries. Using a more standardized tool design with program flexibility the Surfect expects to offer delivery times ½ to 1/3 that of current competitors.
Surfect has significant alliances and contractual relationships to enhance their market entry and technology development base. We have already entered into several significant agreements and alliances with National Labs as well as contracts with key National Universities such as Louisiana Tech and University of Arizona. The company is working to include novel high conductivity nano-particles. Louisiana Tech is supporting improved reflow profiles critical for the lower cost layered alloy systems as well as more automated reflow ovens. Sandia Labs has provided characterization and optical testing services from world experts in the solder alloy fields. Collaborations are underway with the University of Arizona for optical inspection capabilities and technology. These alliances enable us to provide a more advanced solution than is possible just with the internal company resources. They also provide valuable verification and independent testing facilities which are critical to convincing prospects about the robustness and capabilities of the company’s process capability and tools.
Prismark Partners and Kulicke & Soffa estimate that approximately 8,500 wire bonders will be sold in 2006 at price points much closer to Surfect’s replacement wafer bumping tools versus approximately 100 units of the larger multi-million dollar legacy wafer bumping tools. In the United States alone, potential users of Surfect’s equipment and process include approximately 100 semiconductor and PCB companies. The number of worldwide semiconductor companies, according to the semiconductor industry group Semi, is currently estimated at 250 companies including the merchant packaging providers. Beyond an initial business focus in Taiwan, our sales personnel are also targeting specific high-volume and multiple-order prospects in the Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Singaporean, and Indian markets.
