a leading thin film equipment manufacturer and provider of thin film coatings, announced today that it has received a multi-system order for ion beam etching from a leading U.
5 million worth of etch and deposition equipment, predominantly its ion beam deposition and ion beam etching products for high density magnetoresistive and giant magnetoresistive thin film magnetic head applications.
Veeco's new product line-up includes: --NEXUS Ion Beam Etching systems (NEXUS IBE 420 LE for low-energy sensor and perpendicular pole etch steps) and the NEXUS IBE 420SXi (for improved air bearing etch); --NEXUS Atomic Layer Deposition system, which offers the first high-rate alumina process for emerging perpendicular applications; --NEXUS Physical Vapor Deposition Systems (NEXUS PVD-1 single target module and the NEXUS PVD-Sensor multi-technology module); --Optium ADS Saws (Optium ADS160 single spindle saw and the Optium ADS300DSI dual spindle saw) and the Optium ASL Lapping tool.
With over 30 years of ion beam experience and process development programs, CSC's ion beam products include Ion Beam Deposition (IBD), Ion Beam Etching (IBE), Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD), Diamond-like Carbon (DLC), ion beam cleaning and pre-cleaning technologies for many different applications, most notably thin film magnetics, micro-electronics, semiconductor and optical coatings.
The orders are primarily for Veeco ion beam deposition (IBD) and ion beam etching (IBE) products for advanced high density magnetoresistive (MR) and giant magnetoresistive (GMR) thin film magnetic head (TFMH) applications.
The orders are primarily for cluster tool combinations of Veeco ion beam deposition (IBD), ion beam etching (IBE) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) products for advanced high density magnetoresistive (MR) and giant magnetoresistive (GMR) thin film magnetic head (TFMH) applications.
NASDAQ:VECO), today announced receipt of a significant order from StorageTek for a Veeco C-3 Deposition Cluster Tool that is the first to combine ion beam etching (IBE), ion beam deposition (IBD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD).
NASD:VECO) announced today that it has received orders totalling $10 million for its Microetch(R) Ion Beam Etching Systems from Read-Rite Corporation of Milpitas, California (NASD:RDRT), the world's leading independent maker of recording heads for disk drives.
