BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Novellus Systems, Inc. develops, manufactures, sells, and supports equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits or semiconductors. It operates in two groups, Semiconductor Group and Industrial Applications Group. The Semiconductor Group manufactures and supplies thin film deposition, surface preparation, and chemical mechanical planarization systems used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. Its products include deposition systems used in chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and electrochemical deposition (ECD) processes to form the interconnects in an integrated circuit; and high-density plasma CVD and plasma-enhanced CVD systems employed in chemical plasma to deposit dielectric material within the gaps formed by the etching of aluminum, or as a blanket film which can be etched with patterns for depositing conductive materials into the etched dielectric. The Semiconductor Group also offers CVD tungsten systems that are used to deposit small tungsten conductive lines or plugs between layers of metal; and PVD systems, which deposit conductive aluminum and copper metal layers by sputtering metal atoms from the surface of a target source, as well as offers Electrofill ECD systems that deposit copper to form the conductive wiring on integrated circuits using copper interconnects. Industrial Applications Group develops, manufactures, sells, and supports grinding, lapping, and polishing equipment for various industrial applications. It serves manufacturers in automotive, aircraft, and electronic products, parts, and components sectors; glass and ceramics industries; and manufacturers of pumps, transmissions, compressors, and bearings. Novellus Systems sells its products through direct sales force and manufacturerÂ’s representatives in Europe, the United States, Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The company was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.
