The Denton Difference: 4wave Acquisition Bolsters Denton Vacuum as Global Nanotechnology Leader

Posted on

Forward Thinking

There is a need for innovative nano-engineering solutions in the rapidly growing markets of cloud computing, data storage, telecommunications optics, high-power electronics, and sensors for the IoT. Denton’s breadth of technologies and market focus enable advancements ranging from applications in semiconductor failure analysis to production solutions for IR detectors, semiconductor lasers and precision optics.

To enhance our product portfolio, Denton acquired 4Wave Incorporated which includes all ion beam deposition and etch technologies, all equipment, intellectual property, and patents and process patents. By combining 4Wave’s production-ready ion beam deposition and etch products with Denton’s already broad PVD and CVD products, we now have a complete set of nano-engineering solutions to address any process demand in our target markets. Leveraging our global service and support, we can now offer comprehensive production solutions and support to existing and new ion beam customers.

“Adding 4Wave platforms and technology to our IP portfolio continues our strategy of investing in IP to enhance our offerings to existing customers and address new markets.”

– Frank Cumbo, President and CEO of Denton Vacuum
