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.

Tegal Corporation company was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Petaluma, California. Tegal Corporation (Tegal) designs, manufactures, markets and services plasma etch and deposition systems that enable the production of micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS), power integrated circuits (ICs) and optoelectronic devices found in products like smart phones, networking gear, solid-state lighting and digital imaging. The Company’s plasma etch and deposition tools enable manufacturing techniques, such as three dimensional (3-D) interconnect structures formed by intricate silicon etch, also known as Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE). Etching and deposition constitute two of the principal device production process steps and each must be performed numerous times in the production of such devices. In May 2009, the Company established Tegal France, a wholly owned subsidiary. On September 16, 2008, the Company acquired certain assets from Alcatel Micro Machining Systems (AMMS) and Alcatel Lucent.

Systems on Silicon Manufacturing Company wafer fabricator, or contract manufacturer, produces CMOS-based semiconductors with line widths down to 140 nanometers. It operates as a joint venture owned by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) and NXP, 39% and 61% stakeholders, respectively. SSMC is positioned to exclusively offer manufacturing flexibility, fast turnaround, at a low cost to NXP and TSMC, which run wafer fabrication plants (fabs), too. Founded in 1998 by Phillips, TSMC, and Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB), SSMC began churning out product in 2000. Phillips subsequently spun off NXP, with the SSMC stake. NXP and TSMC joined to buy the EDB's stake.
