/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FEI Company announced that Headway
Technologies, a subsidiary of TDK Corporation , has ordered
multiple Certus(TM) 3D DualBeam(TM) systems for advanced in-fab
process metrology. With this latest Certus 3D order, Headway will
have the most advanced production metrology tool set in the
industry. "As the demand for data storage capacity continues to
double every 12 months, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of
nanoscale fabrication," said Tony Razouk, vice president of Headway
operations in Milpitas, California. "The Certus 3D enables us to
increase the performance of our current high-volume products and to
bring new technology nodes online with greater ease, speed and
efficiency. We believe we will receive a rapid return on our
investment." "FEI has had a long-term relationship with Headway
Technologies, and this order represents an important transition in
the use of our latest generation tools from product qualification
to production," said Nick Dawes, vice president of FEI's fab
metrology group. "Since we introduced Certus last year, all major
thin film head manufacturers have completed qualification of the
new tool and are moving toward volume production use." About FEI:
