KDF
Electronic & Vacuum Services, Inc. was formed in 1986, with the
aim of extending the useful life of batch
sputtering systems originally produced by Materials Research
Corporation. The aim was to provide continuous product improvements
for Batch Inline products, and hence cost effective, high efficiency
solutions to users of these systems.
In
1986 KDF started to produce batch sputter systems for
Materials Research Corporation and subsequently, Tokyo Electron
Limited. In February 1999, KDF acquired from Tokyo Electron
Ltd. all rights to MRC Batch Inline Sputter and Etch System product
lines, previously acquired by TEL from MRC. KDF now provides
worldwide support for the 8000, 800, 200, 600, 900 series; BMC,
Aries, RIE 51/61, MIE-710 / 720, Aries and BMC-600 products. The
company is well positioned to support these products. KDF
employs some of the original system design engineers and many of the
manufacturing, sales and service personnel are factory trained by
both TEL (MRC) and KDF. The KDF product line
consistently continues to grow to meet customer requirements. At the
heart of the product portfolio, is a re-engineered new batch system
platform that incorporates a state-of-the-art graphical computer
control unit, and intelligent peripheral components.
In
1998 KDF introduced the 744NT large area Inline Sputter
System, and more recently the 844NT with a substrate area of 660 x
660mm for 300mm and Flat Panel production. [return] |
