Veeco lands multiple orders from Asian chip foundry; shares rise
Dec 22 2015, 17:06 ET | About: Veeco Instruments Inc. (VECO) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor

An unnamed "leading foundry in Asia" (TSMC?) has placed multiple orders for Veeco's (NASDAQ: VECO) WaferStorm system, which handles chip wafer processing for advanced packaging applications.

SVP Herman Itzkowitz: "As the complexity of the packaging process increases, our differentiated technology enables customers to more tightly control the flux removal process [for chip packaging] resulting in higher yields ... In addition to securing business with a leading Asian foundry this quarter, we've also received initial system orders from an Asian [chip packaging/testing services] customer and believe that our process flexibility and expertise will enable us to expand the business in 2016."

WaferStorm stems from Veeco's $150M late-2014 acquisition of chip equipment maker SSEC. Veeco is coming off a Q3 in which (thanks to soft LED equipment orders) its bookings fell to $52M from Q2's $124M.

VECO +1.7% after hours to $22.00.
