-0- Company description: Etec Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets patterning solutions that enable the production of the faster, smaller and cheaper semiconductor chips and printed circuit boards necessary for today's electronics. Founded in 1970, the company is headquartered in Hayward, California Hayward is a city located in the East Bay in Alameda County. The sixth largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is one of the larger suburbs of Oakland. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 140,030. The estimated population in 2007 is 155,312. , with product and manufacturing/development facilities in Hayward, California; Beaverton, Oregon Beaverton is a city in Washington County, Oregon, United States, seven miles west of Portland in the Tualatin River Valley. As of May 2006, its population is estimated to be 84,270,[1] 9.1% more than the 2000 census figure of 76,129. ; Tucson, Arizona Tucson (pronounced /ˈtusɑn/, Spanish: Tucsón [tuk'son] ; and Feldkirchen, Germany, with sales and service offices worldwide. Etec holds over 70% worldwide market share for semiconductor IC mask pattern generation equipment -- equipment that makes semiconductor masks. Etec is widely recognized for its expertise in laser- and electron-beam pattern generation technologies. 7 Precision lasers or electron beams A stream of electrons, or electricity, that is directed towards a receiving object. See electron beam imaging and electron beam lithography. in Etec pattern generation systems image the design of just one layer of a semiconductor chip onto a piece of chrome-coated quartz glass -- the mask or photomask An opaque image on a translucent plate that is used as a light filter to transfer an image from one device to another. See chip. . After the design has been written on the mask, it is transferred onto a semiconductor wafer (1) A small, thin continuous-loop magnetic tape cartridge that has been used from time to time for data storage and specialized applications. (2) The base unit of chip making. It is a slice taken from a salami-like silicon crystal ingot up to 12" (300mm) in diameter. . The patterns on the masks translate into the tiny transistors and electrical circuits that make up each final chip. Today Etec is leveraging semiconductor solutions to the printed circuit board industry with revolutionary laser direct imaging technology. Etec's FY98 revenues were $288.3 million and net income for FY98 was $46.8 million. The company's 3-year CAGR CAGR See: Compound Annual Growth Rate equals 51%. |
