NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 17, 2015) - ACT Aurora Control Technologies Corp. ("Aurora" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ACU) is extremely pleased to announce the receipt of a letter of intent from an existing customer for the purchase of two Decima inline measurement system with Veritas™ software. The expected order is for the new Decima technology that measures three tracks down every wafer as they emerge from the annealing or diffusion furnace at full production rates. Aurora's patent-pending Veritas software displays the resultant emitter profiles in three dimensions thus monitoring the quality of each wafer from the furnaces, comparing them with specifications and allowing operators to adjust and optimize the furnace parameters for higher yield of top quality cells.

"Our work with this customer quickly demonstrated the accuracy and repeatability of the Decima measurement technology," said Steve McDonald, Vice President of Business Development. He went on to say that "Aurora's tube uniformity visualizations highlighted previously unknown levels of process variation. This information was vital to our customer when selecting the best furnace technology for their new line where Aurora's Decima technology will be integrated inline for batch-to-batch diffusion furnace optimization."
