FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Triant To Announce ModelWare Version 5.1 During SEMICON West Trade Show
VANCOUVER, CANADA — JULY 6, 2004 —Triant Technologies Inc. (TSX: TNT; OTCBB: TNTTF), which delivers advanced process control (APC) solutions to the semiconductor industry, today reported that it will announce its latest version of ModelWare, Triant’s advanced fault detection solution, during SEMICON West, which will be held the week of July 12, 2004.
ModelWare version 5.1 introduces the concept of dynamic models that automatically compensates for maintenance-induced shifts in equipment operation. In addition, version 5.1 reduces the number of fault detection models required by sharing models among tools and recipes. This simplifies the number and maintenance of fault detection models, thereby significantly reducing the cost of ownership of ModelWare. This new release of ModelWare is even easier to use with additional features that includes multi-lot overlay plots, drill-down reports, and comprehensive alarm reports. Version 5.1 is also easier to manage, integrate, and scale and makes significant use of database and middleware technologies.
Triant will also be hosting a hospitality suite from July 12th to 14th in downtown San Francisco to coincide with the annual SEMICON West trade show (call Triant’s head office at 604.697.5090 ext 147 to set-up an appointment). SEMICON West is the premier trade show for the semiconductor, MEMS and flat panel display industries, with more than 1,500 companies participating. For more information visitwww.semi.org/semiconwest

The theme of this year’s event is“Maximizing Profitability by Optimizing Productivity”.
