key elements of the process tools used in the manufacturing of
semiconductor devices. Our gas delivery subsystems deliver, monitor and
control precise quantities of the specialized gases used in
semiconductor manufacturing processes such as etch and deposition. Our
chemical delivery subsystems precisely blend and dispense the reactive
liquid chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as
chemical-mechanical planarization, electroplating, and cleaning. We also
manufacture precision machined components, weldments, and proprietary
products for use in fluid delivery systems for direct sales to our
