SANTA CLARA, Calif. — BUSINESS WIRE — September 16, 2005
Intevac, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq:IVAC) received a follow-on order for two 200 Lean magnetic disk sputtering systems for delivery in 2006.
Intevac Chief Executive Kevin Fairbairn remarked: "We are pleased to have received this order for two 200 Lean systems, which are scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of 2006." The Intevac(R) 200 Lean is the Company's latest-generation disk sputtering system that provides significantly enhanced capabilities relative to the installed base of Intevac(R) 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 disk sizes, both aluminum and glass disks, and the growing number of thin-film process steps required by evolution toward advanced technologies such as perpendicular recording. About Intevac Intevac is the world's leading supplier of magnetic media sputtering equipment for the hard disk drive industry and a developer and provider of leading-edge extreme low-light imaging sensors, cameras, and systems.
