Veeco Achieves Milestone With 100 Automated MBE Systems Installed Worldwide
March 27 2018 - 8:00AM
Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:VECO) today announced it has
completed installation of its 100th automated Molecular Beam
Epitaxy (MBE) system. The installation of Veeco’s GEN10™ MBE System
last month at Silanna Semiconductor PTY Ltd. in Australia marks
this significant company milestone. The company also operates a
Veeco Dual GEN200® MBE System for production of advanced nitride
compound semiconductor devices including ultraviolet light emitting
diodes (UV-LEDs).
“Veeco has earned a reputation for consistently developing
innovative and reliable MBE technology from research scale to
production,” said Petar Atanackovic, Ph.D., chief scientist of
Silanna Semiconductor PTY Ltd. “The flexibility and deposition
capability of the GEN10 system will enable us to develop
new materials at the atomic level allowing us to exploit new
quantum properties. Veeco’s technology portfolio and leadership in
MBE systems provides us with a clear path to easily scale to
volume production in the future." Silanna is using the GEN10
system for advanced oxide research and development (R&D) for
optoelectronic devices. The GEN10 is built upon almost 20 years of
cumulative automation knowledge and derived from the company’s
proven production MBE systems. Adopted by numerous leading
corporations, institutions and universities for all major MBE
applications, many customers choose the GEN10 because of its
flexibility, which allows them to configure the system based on
their application. This gives customers optimal performance with
any material set, including those related to III-V group elements,
oxides and nitrides.
“Silanna has achieved remarkable results on its previous MBE
systems and Veeco is honored to celebrate this momentous
accomplishment in our company history in partnership with Dr.
Atanackovic and the Silanna team,” said Gerry Blumenstock, vice
president and general manager, Veeco MBE Products. “As our
customers explore novel materials and new applications, they can
rely on Veeco to deliver innovative MBE systems, sources and
components for use in complex R&D, as well as high-volume
production environments.”
MBE is a highly precise thin-film deposition method for creating
crystals by building up orderly layers of molecules on top of a
substrate. MBE is used in industrial production processes as well
as nanotechnology research in high-growth advanced computing,
optics and photonics applications, to name a few. With over 600
systems shipped worldwide, Veeco provides the industry’s broadest
portfolio of proven, reliable MBE systems, sources and components
to serve a wide variety of markets and applications.
