Veeco Introduces NEXUS CVD System.Enables Thin Film Magnetic Head Areal Densities Greater Than 400Gb/in(2)PLAINVIEW, N.Y. -- Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO VECO Vernier Engine Cut Off ), announced today that it has introduced the NEXUS[R] CVD CVD Cardiovascular disease, see there System, the industry's first production-proven chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system for demanding conformal con·for·mal adj. 1. Mathematics Designating or specifying a mapping of a surface or region upon another surface so that all angles between intersecting curves remain unchanged. 2. seed layer applications. The NEXUS CVD system enables the manufacture of next generation perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR PMR 1 Percutaneous myocardial revascularization, see there 2 Perinatal mortality rate 3 Polymyalgia rheumatica 4 Proportionate mortality ratio, see there ) thin film magnetic heads (TFMH) with areal densities greater than 400 Gb/in2. Robert P. Oates, Executive Vice President, commented, "In response to the market's need for a conformal metal deposition process to enable a new generation of PMR heads, Veeco collaborated with a leading thin film head manufacturer to develop the NEXUS CVD system. As a result of this successful collaboration, multiple Veeco NEXUS CVD systems are currently being used in TFMH production at a leading hard disk drive manufacturer, and we are now officially launching it to the broader marketplace. In addition, Veeco is pleased to announce that a second hard drive manufacturer has placed an order for a NEXUS CVD system." James T. Jenson, Vice President of Marketing, added, "The NEXUS CVD tool is a great example of Veeco's alignment with our data storage customers' technology roadmaps as they invest in increased areal density and lower cost of ownership solutions." As part of Veeco's NEXUS family, the NEXUS CVD System can be integrated on a common hardware and software platform with complementary Veeco technologies, such as ion beam etch, ion beam deposition Ion Beam Deposition is a process of applying materials to a target through the application of an ion beam. In an ion source source materials - gases or evaporated solids - are ionized using electron ionization or by application of high electric fields (Penning ion source). and physical vapor deposition  This article or section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.Please help recruit one or [ improve this article] yourself.
