 Hard Disk Drive: Data Storage
New and better consumer electronics are emerging everyday as the driver of growth for the HDD industry. In cell phones, laptops, PDAs, GPS systems and more, Veeco is the world’s leading provider of Process Equipment and Metrology tools for the manufacture of thin film magnetic heads, a critical component of HDDs. Veeco’s products include ion beam etch and deposition, physical vapor deposition, optical and atomic force metrology, lapping and slicing/dicing equipment.
 Compound Semiconductor: HB-LED and Wireless
Veeco’s metal organic chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy products are critical to the manufacture of high-brightness LEDs, power amplifiers, laser diodes and thermal deposition sources for high-efficiency CIGS for solar applications. Epitaxy is the critical first step in the compound semiconductor wafer fabrication process, ultimately determining device functionality and performance.
 Semiconductor
As leading-edge semiconductor device feature sizes shrink below the 45nm threshold, Veeco has successfully penetrated fabs worldwide with their proven automated atomic force microscope solutions. Their innovative breadth of non-destructive 3D AFM metrology solutions is unparalleled in the semiconductor industry, providing unmatched speed with great precision and accuracy. Veeco also sells optical metrology systems and specific types of deposition systems to the semiconductor industry.
 Scientific Research
Veeco has long been a pioneer in enabling nanoscience research as they remain at the leading edge of this emerging opportunity by aiding scientists, verifying theories and expanding the frontiers of knowledge. Their atomic force microscopes have become the “industry standards” for atomic imaging and molecular measurements. With the largest installed base of systems, they sell their instruments to nearly every major scientific or research organization worldwide. They also sell a broad array of other metrology and process equipment solutions to research organizations and industrial applications worldwide.
