R&D Magazine Recognizes Veeco

Veeco Instruments Inc. has been recognized by R&D Magazine with a 2013 R&D 100 Award for its SPECTOR-HT Ion Beam Deposition (IBD) System.

The SPECTOR-HT is used to create precision thin-film coatings for the optical market for applications such as laser machining, telecommunications, manufacturing of laser diodes, heads-up displays and laser guidance systems.

"Veeco is honored to receive this R&D 100 Award that recognizes excellence and innovation in technology, and celebrates achievement,” said William J. Miller, PhD, Veeco’s executive vice president. "The SPECTOR-HT provides manufacturers the advantages of ion beam sputtering technology—stable deposition rates, high purity, high density and low roughness films; combining for stable low optical loss films—in a robust package that significantly boosts throughput and lowers cost of ownership.”
