Keithley branches out with Indian website
In conjunction with the firm’s new Web Forum, the website offers Indian scientists and compound semiconductor engineers instant access to technical test and measurement information around the clock.
Keithley Instruments has a new website created for its customers, prospective customers, and users of its products in India,
www.keithley.in.
The English-language site provides scientists, researchers, and engineers based in India with a wealth of information on the company’s offerings in advanced electrical test instruments and systems and how to use them effectively, providing in-depth product and applications information, as well as guidance on how to obtain additional assistance from local Keithley representatives.
Linda Rae, president of Keithley Instruments, noted, “We added the Indian website because India represents an important and growing market for Keithley. We’ve been building our reputation for technical innovation and customer support among Indian scientists and engineers since the 1970s, when we opened our first Indian office. Today, our instruments are widely used in India’s educational institutions and scientific research labs, as well as in applied research settings and production testing of electronic components, ranging from mobile phones and power supplies to electrical sub-systems and semiconductors.”
Ramesh Adahallikar, Keithley’s country manager for India and the Middle East, added, “We’re very excited to have a dedicated India website because it means we can serve our customers and users of Keithley products faster and more effectively. In conjunction with Keithley’s new Web Forum, it offers Indian scientists and engineers instant access to technical test and measurement information around the clock.”

Veeco Q3 net income slumps due to weak backlighting demand
The company’s third quarter orders were impacted by weak near-term LED industry demand, low MOCVD equipment utilisation rates in Asia, and decreased business activity in China.
Veeco Instruments has announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
The firm reported results for Veeco’s “Continuing Operations” which excludes the Metrology business sold to Bruker Corporation on October 7, 2010 and reflect the discontinuation of Veeco’s CIGS Solar Systems business.
GAAP results for Q3 2011 were $268 million compared to $277.1 million for the same period last year. Net income took a severe hit and was $52.6 million compared to $93.7 million for Q3 2011, while diluted EPS dived from $2.22 to $1.31.
John R. Peeler, Veeco’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Veeco reported a solid third quarter, with revenues of $268 million, non-GAAP net income and earnings per share of $53 million and $1.33, respectively, all at the mid to high end of our guidance. LED & Solar revenues increased 7% sequentially to $234 million, including $220 million in MOCVD, while Data Storage revenues were $34 million, down 25% sequentially.”
“Veeco has continued to execute within the challenging overall business environment, particularly in China, where customer facility readiness and credit tightening remain significant issues. Veeco’s new MaxBright MOCVD System represented nearly half of the quarter’s MOCVD revenue, including broad-scale customer acceptance at tier one LED manufacturers.”
