Segment Reporting and Geographic Information |
Segment Reporting and Geographic Information | Note 10 - Segment Reporting and Geographic Information Veeco operates and measures its results in one operating segment and continues to do so with the integration of Ultratech’s business activities. As a result, the Company has one reportable segment: the design, development, manufacture, and support of semiconductor process equipment primarily sold to make electronic devices. Veeco categorizes its revenue by the key markets into which it sells. As a result of the acquisition of Ultratech, the Company’s four key markets are now: Lighting, Display & Power Electronics; Advanced Packaging, MEMS & RF; Scientific & Industrial, which now includes Data Storage, which was formerly a separate category; and Front-End Semiconductor, which was formerly included in the Scientific & Industrial market category. Lighting, Display & Power Electronics Lighting refers to Light Emitting Diode (“LED”) and semiconductor illumination sources used in various applications including, but not limited to, displays such as backlights, general lighting, automotive running lights, and head lamps. Display refers to LEDs used for displays and Organic Light Emitting Diode (“OLED”) displays found in outdoor display/signage applications, smartphones, wearable devices, and tablets. Power Electronics refers to semiconductor devices such as rectifiers, inverters, and converters for the control and conversion of electric power. Advanced Packaging, MEMS & RF (Mobility) Advanced Packaging includes a portfolio of wafer-level assembly technologies that enable the miniaturization and performance improvement of electronic products, such as smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, and laptops. Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (“MEMS”) includes tiny mechanical devices such as sensors, switches, mirrors, and actuators embedded in semiconductor chips used in vehicles, smartphones, tablets, and games. Radio Frequency (“RF”) includes semiconductor devices that make use of radio waves (RF fields) for wireless broadcasting and/or communications. Scientific & Industrial Scientific refers to advanced materials research at university research institutions, industry research institutions, industry consortiums, and government research agencies. Industrial refers to large-scale product manufacturing applications including high powered lasers, data storage, and optical coatings: thin layers of material deposited on a lens or mirror that alters how light reflects and transmits. Front-End Semiconductor Front-End Semiconductor refers to the early steps in the process of integrated circuit fabrication where the microchips are created but still remain on the silicon wafer. This includes the photomask market, which is an opaque plate that allows light to shine through in a defined pattern for use in lithography. Sales by end-market and geographic region for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
