Hi Joby,

Micrion is in a different business from Veeco. Micrion makes Focused Ion Beam Etch tools. This uses a very small ion beam (maybe on the order of micrometers) to etch very small areas. Applications include failure analysis for cross sectioning of heads or semiconductor devices. Their tools can etch magnetic heads but only one head at a time (slow).

Veeco makes broad beam ion sources. These sources can etch a 6 or 8 in. diameter area with excellent uniformity. You can etch many, many heads at one time this way.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Tim Cahaney
