Cabot Microelectronics Company Description
Cabot Microelectronics sits atop a mountain of slurry. The company is the world's top maker of slurries used in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). CMP is a wafer polishing process that enables semiconductor manufacturers to produce smaller, faster, and more complex devices. The process is also used in data storage and precision optics products. Cabot Microelectronics' CMP slurries consist of liquids containing abrasives and chemicals that aid in the CMP process. The company also makes polishing pads for CMP, as well as slurries used to polish the substrates and magnetic heads of hard-disk drives. About three-quarters of sales are to customers in the Asia/Pacific region.
