INTEVAC, INC. SHIPS FIRST 200 LEAN DISK SPUTTERING SYSTEM
Santa Clara, Calif. -- December 23, 2003 -- Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) today announced it has delivered its first 200 Lean disk sputtering system.
Kevin Fairbairn, Intevac Chief Executive Officer, commented: "I am pleased to report that we have delivered, and started the installation of, our first 200 Lean disk sputtering system. This system was ordered in August and delivered in less than five months."
The Intevac(R) 200 Lean is Intevac's latest generation disk sputtering system. It provides significantly enhanced capabilities relative to the installed base of approximately 90 Intevac(R) MDP-250 systems. The 200 Lean provides higher throughput from a smaller footprint, which enables more thin-film disks to be manufactured per square-foot of factory floor space and is designed to lower overall cost of ownership. The 200 Lean's flexible and modular design allows customers to accommodate any number of thin-film disk process steps required by their evolving technology roadmaps.
