ouR compAny Cabot Microelectronics is the world’s leading supplier of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries and a growing CMP pad supplier to the semiconductor industry. Our CMP consumables products are used to level, smooth and remove excess material from the multiple layers of material that are deposited upon silicon wafers in the production of most semiconductor devices. This enables our customers to manufacture smaller, faster and more complex devices. We also produce slurries for the data storage industry that are used to polish certain hard disk drive components, and we are pursuing a number of other demanding surface modification applications through our Engineered Surface Finishes business.
