Veeco Instruments Inc. today announced its has received a multiple system order for its GEN2000(TM) molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system from a leading wireless device manufacturer. The 7x6" wafer GEN2000 systems will be used to manufacture advanced compound semiconductors for power amplifiers and radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) used in wireless handsets and wireless local area networks (WLANs). The order was received during Veeco's recently completed second quarter.
Marlin Braun, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Veeco Compound Semiconductor Group, commented, "We are pleased that Veeco's high-volume GEN2000 MBE system continues to be the tool of choice for MBE production applications."
The GEN2000 is the world's only qualified 7x6" MBE system. It incorporates cluster tool wafer-handling architecture long proven in the silicon industry. This innovative design enables the GEN2000 system to deliver higher throughput, longer system uptime and lower costs per wafer, in a footprint 50% less than comparable MBE systems. The GEN2000 is the industry's preferred system for high-volume production of gallium arsenide (GaAs) integrated circuits.
