Intevac, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq:IVAC) announced today it has received an order for one 200 Lean® magnetic disk sputtering system, scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2008.
The 200 Lean is Intevac’s latest-generation disk sputtering system that provides significantly enhanced capabilities relative to the installed base of Intevac® MDP-250 systems. The 200 Lean provides higher throughput from a smaller footprint, which enables more magnetic disks to be manufactured per square foot of factory floor space, and is designed to reduce overall cost of ownership. The 200 Lean’s flexible and modular design accommodates the production of multiple sizes of both aluminum and glass disks, as well as the growing number of thin-film process steps required by the adoption of advanced technologies such as perpendicular recording.
