Profile

Exchange: NASDAQGS       Sector: Technology       Industry: Semiconductor - Integrated Circuits

Cabot Microelectronics Corporation, headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, is the world's leading supplier of CMP polishing slurries and growing CMP pad supplier to the semiconductor industry. The company develops, produces and sells CMP slurries for polishing many of the conducting and insulating materials used in integrated circuit devices and also for polishing certain components in hard disk drives. The company also develops, manufactures and sells slurry products used to polish the dielectric insulating materials that separate conductive layers within logic and memory IC devices. Its advanced dielectrics products are designed to meet the requirements of lower-volume, more specialized dielectric polishing applications, such as pre-metal dielectric and shallow trench isolation, at advanced technology nodes. The company's products play a critical role in the production of advanced semiconductor devices, enabling the manufacture of smaller, faster and more complex devices by its customers. The company was founded by William P. Noglows in October 1999.
