Veeco’s GaNzilla II selected by leading Asian HB-LED manufacturers

June 8, 2006 – Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO), announced that it has received multi-unit orders for its GaNzilla II MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) system from three leading Asian manufacturers of high-brightness light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs).

Multi-unit orders have been received from Huga Optotech Inc. of Taiwan, Dalian Meiming Epitaxy Technology Co. Ltd of China, and LG Innotek Co. Ltd. of Korea during the second quarter of 2006.

Piero Sferlazzo, vice president and general manager of Veeco’s MOCVD operations said in a prepared statement that, “The GaNzilla II is rapidly becoming the production workhorse for gallium nitride (GaN)-based LEDs. This strong order pattern from Asia driven by emerging small panel LCD backlighting applications, demonstrates the confidence our customers have in the ability of GaNzilla II to support their capacity expansions.”
