BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Novellus Systems, Inc. engages in the manufacture, marketing, and servicing of semiconductor equipment for thin film deposition, surface preparation, and chemical mechanical planarization. It offers chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), electrochemical deposition (ECD), surface preparation, and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) technologies. The CVD process is used to deposit dielectric films on wafers; and deposit conductive metal layers on devices. The PVD processes are used to create the barrier and seed layers in copper damascene interconnect applications. The ECD products are used to build the copper primary conduction layers in advanced integrated circuits. The surface preparation products are used to remove photoresist from a wafer. The CMP systems polish the surface of a wafer after a deposition step to create a planar surface. The company also manufactures high-precision machine manufacturing tools. Novellus Systems sells its products through direct sales force and manufacturer’s representatives in Europe, the United States, Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, southeast Asia, and Israel. The company was founded in 1984 and is based in San Jose, California.
