Cabot Microelectronics Corp. is a leading supplier of slurries used in chemical mechanical planarization, a polishing process used in the manufacturing of integrated circuit devices. Chemical mechanical planarization is an important part of the integrated circuit device manufacturing process because it helps manufacturers make smaller, faster and more complex integrated circuit devices. Chemical mechanical planarization slurries are liquids containing abrasives and chemicals that facilitate and enhance the mechanical planarization polishing process.
Many of these firms have their hand in chemicals used to enhance the aromas, colors, or flavors of the foods we eat. Others deal in fuel additives, solid rocket propellant, lubricant additives, and other specialty products. While their product line may not be as diverse as other chemical manufacturers (though it very easily could be), many of them serve strong niche markets. Their revenue is gathered from the sale of their specialty chemicals and few of the firms here have branched into areas not related to the chemicals they produce.
