Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq:VECO) announced that Lumentum
Holdings Inc. has ordered the Veeco K475i™ Arsenide/Phosphide
(As/P) Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) System for
production of its advanced semiconductor components which address
the 3D sensing, high-speed fiber-optic communications and
laser-based materials processing end-markets. Lumentum,
headquartered in Milpitas, Calif., is a leading manufacturer of
innovative optical and photonics products.
“The global communications, industrial and consumer electronics
markets that our proprietary semiconductor lasers address are
growing rapidly,” said Susan Wang, vice president of manufacturing
at Lumentum. “We chose Veeco’s K475i system with its high
capacity/throughput, uniformity of quality, repeatability and
exceptional performance to help expand our capacity and better
address these growth opportunities. We have a longstanding
relationship with Veeco and look forward to future collaboration
together.”
The K475i system incorporates proprietary TurboDisc® and Uniform
FlowFlange™ MOCVD technologies. These innovations allow Veeco
customers to improve compositional uniformity and dopant control
while reducing cost-per-wafer by up to 20 percent compared to
alternative systems through higher productivity, best-in-class
yields and lower operating expenses. Application areas include
lighting, solar, laser diodes, vertical-cavity surface-emitting
lasers (VCSELs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors
(pHEMTs) and heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs).
“A leading player in the optical communications and commercial
laser markets, Lumentum is well positioned to capitalize on the
growing demand for next-generation laser and optical devices using
Veeco MOCVD technology,” said Peo Hansson, Ph.D., senior vice
president and general manager of MOCVD Operations at Veeco. “As
customers look for technologies that enable demanding new
applications in increasingly competitive markets, many leading
photonics, power electronics and LED device manufacturers continue
to choose our proven MOCVD systems that deliver strong wafer
uniformity and the lowest cost of ownership.”
