(Nasdaq: VECO) announced today that it received an order for its
Dimension X3D automated Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) from a leading
global hard disk drive manufacturer, extending Veeco's leadership
position in AFM metrology and confirming its role as a key equipment
supplier to the data storage industry. We are
especially pleased that a key hard drive manufacturer has chosen to
add the X3D automated AFM into their process at a time when our data
storage customers are experiencing strong capacity growth enabled by
Veeco tools and technology. The ability of our AFMs to measure ever
shrinking devices non-destructively and without material bias is of
great value to our customers.
