Eddy: Re: NANO Nanometrics, as far as I know, produce thin film measurement systems. My perception of them is that they have a much larger penetration into more fabs than Veeco. Veeco's best product is their surface profiler systems. These are very useful for plasma etch monitoring and a few other things. Nanometrics equipment is useful to many other sections of the fab: plasma etch, photolithography, thin films, diffusion. Just speaking for my company, we have 4 of their systems and they are always busy. Nanometrics has good technology that has been around for a long time. Is it a good investment? Beats me. As I've said before, my interest in Silicon Investor is more from a technology point of view. If you are interested in metrology companies, here are a few others with similar products: Rudolph Technology - makers of ellipsometers (similar to NANO) Bio-Rad - Huge medical instruments Co. that also makes linewidth and overly metrology systems. KLA-Tencor - Makers of almost everything in metrology. Keithley - Makers of wafer testers, but also ion implant metrology systems. James Word
