or year ended March 2010, Qinetiq (LSE: QQ) published preliminary revenue of £1,625.4


million (2009: £1,617.3m), operating loss of £25.3 million (2009: profit of £128.1m). Leo Quinn, Chief Executive Officer of QinetiQ Group plc, said “This has been a difficult year for QinetiQ, with challen- ging conditions in our core markets and considerable internal change. Our markets are likely to remain uncertain for some time, but we now have a deci- sive programme of self-help to restore value. We are acting to make our costs more competitive, our productivity better and our debt lower. We are chan- ging our structure to benefit from QinetiQ’s overall strengths. Most of all, we are working to transform our culture into one based on leadership, accounta- bility and empowerment of what is an outstanding group of people. With these immediate steps, the Board believes that it will meet its expectations for the current year. At the same time our goal is to build the right foundation for a return to profitable and sustainable growth in the future.” http://www.qinetiq.com/

EMATECH, a global consortium of chipmakers, and AZ Electronic Materials, the global supplier


of electronic materials to the semiconductor and flat panel display industries, announced that AZ Electro- nic Materials has joined SEMATECH’s Resist Materi- als and Development Center (RMDC) at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany.


AZ Electronic Materials will collaborate with SEMA- TECH engineers on crucial resist issues in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Specific areas include reduction or elimination of line edge roughness (LER) in images below 22nm; ultimate resolution of new resists; and testing imaging materials for EUV sensiti- vity.
