About Veeco Instruments INC

Veeco Instruments Inc. is a U.S.-based semiconductor capital equipment company focused on process tools for advanced electronics manufacturing. The company is listed on the NASDAQ market under ticker VECO in the United States, with corporate headquarters in Plainview, New York. Veeco’s business is centered on the development, manufacture, sales, and support of semiconductor and thin-film process equipment, making it a niche supplier to highly technical, cycle-sensitive end markets. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926032103/tm267511d2_ars.pdf)) Veeco’s roots go back to its origins as an instrumentation company, but over time it has evolved into a specialized equipment vendor serving the semiconductor ecosystem. Its portfolio spans ion beam deposition, laser annealing, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), wet processing, and advanced packaging lithography-related technologies. This breadth allows the company to address multiple end markets, including logic, memory, compound semiconductors, photonics, RF, power electronics, scientific research, and hard disk drive data storage. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926019711/veco-20251231x10k.htm)) From a competitive standpoint, Veeco positions itself as a provider of differentiated, proprietary platforms rather than a broad-based commodity toolmaker. A key example is its TurboDisc technology, which underpins the company’s MOCVD systems and is marketed for uniformity, yield, uptime, and lower cost of ownership. The company also highlights its exposure to next-generation semiconductor trends such as EUV lithography, EUV pellicles, and advanced DRAM/HBM development, indicating a product roadmap aligned with advanced-node manufacturing.

In addition to its headquarters and major operations in the United States, it maintains foreign sales and service offices in China, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan. That footprint is important because its customer base is global and concentrated in semiconductor manufacturing hubs. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926032103/tm267511d2_ars.pdf)) Recent business developments have been constructive. In 2025, Veeco announced the launch of its Lumina+ MOCVD system and reported its first commercial multi-tool order for high-volume compound semiconductor production. It also disclosed that a leading semiconductor memory company selected its Laser Spike Annealing (LSA) system for advanced DRAM evaluation, and its annual report discussed extended evaluations of the IBD300 platform at leading DRAM customers as well as growing EUV-related opportunities. For investors, these updates reinforce Veeco’s positioning as a technology enabler in advanced semiconductor manufacturing rather than a pure cyclical supplier.
