Arryx, Inc is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haemonetics. Arryx Research facilities, personnel, and operations will remain in Chicago. Arryx's patented HOT technology uses focused light to form optical traps that function like microscopic "tractor beams" to grab small objects. These optical traps (also known as laser tweezers) can hold, move, rotate, join, separate, stretch, and otherwise manipulate hundreds of microscopic and nanoscopic objects, ranging from the size of a human cell down to less than 1/1000th the diameter of a human hair. Arryx's proprietary technology gives rise to multiple applications. Arryx's first product, the BioRyx® 200 optical trapping system, is able to produce and move multiple optical traps for manipulating cells, beads, or other objects.

Ball Semiconductor has developed technology for fabricating chips on spheres of silicon, rather than the conventional flat silicon wafers. Founded in 1996, Ball Semiconductor Inc. also designs, makes, and sells photomaskless exposure systems. Ball Semiconductor's products are used in lithography systems, optical research, fluorescent excitation processes, high-density printed circuit boards, color filters for LCD/thin-film transistor/plasma display panels, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing. Ball Semiconductor company is currently focusing on developing surface-acoustic wave (SAW) sensors.

Qimonda AG was a Germany-based supplier of semiconductor memory products. The Company was designing semiconductor memory technologies, and developing, manufacturing and selling a variety of semiconductor memory products on a chip, component and module level. The Company offered dynamic random access memory (DRAM) products for infrastructure, graphics, mobile and consumer applications, as well as standard DRAM products for personal computers (PCs), notebooks and workstations. The majority of the Company's products were sold under its Qimonda brand. The Company also was selling DRAM products under its AENEON brand. As of April 1, 2009, the Company has been dissolved due to insolvency proceedings.

Novellus Systems, Inc. was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in San Jose, California. Novellus Systems, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, sells, and supports equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. It operates in two segments, Semiconductor Group and Industrial Applications Group. The Semiconductor Group segment manufactures and supplies equipment used in the deposition of thin dielectric and metal films, as well as equipment used in complementary manufacturing steps, including surface preparation and ultraviolet thermal processing. Its deposition systems use chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and electrochemical deposition (ECD) processes to form transistor, capacitor, and interconnect layers in an integrated circuit. This segment’s High-Density Plasma CVD (HDP-CVD) and Plasma-Enhanced CVD (PECVD) systems employ chemical plasma to deposit dielectric material within the gaps formed by the etching of aluminum, or as a blanket film that can be etched with patterns for depositing conductive materials into the etched dielectric. Its CVD Tungsten systems are used to deposit conductive contacts between transistors and interconnect; PVD systems are used to deposit conductive aluminum and copper metal layers by sputtering metal atoms from the surface of a target source; and Electrofil ECD systems are used to deposit copper to form the conductive wiring on integrated circuits using copper interconnects.

Akustica lets your cell phone tell you it feels used. The fabless semiconductor company develops audio system-on-a-chip products used in sound capture and reproduction for automotive, cell phone, computer, imaging, and medical applications. Its Sensory Silicon chips -- based on MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technology licensed from Carnegie Mellon University -- allow electronic devices to hear, speak, and sense through acoustic membranes and other sensor structures. The company touts its digital microphones as immune to radio-frequency and electromagnetic interference, an important consideration as wireless communications products proliferate. Bosch's North American unit acquired Akustica in 2009.
