n the first half of 2010, aap Implantate (AAQ.FSE), Germany, generated sales of EUR12.8 million


(previous year: EUR14.7 million) and an operating result (EBIT) of EUR32,000 (previous year: EUR-0.4 million). After adjustments for project sales, sales by the Analytics segment, which was sold in December 2009 and other one-time effects amounting EUR3.2 million, comparable Group sales for the first half of 2009 increased 11% from EUR11.5 million to EUR12.8 million. http://www.aap.de


(SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop the next generation of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) pad conditioners for the semiconductor industry. The controlled geome- trical protrusions on ADT’s microfabricated diamond CMP pad conditioners enable the production of next generation semiconductor devices while offering the unsurpassed chemical inertness of diamond without the “pull out” failure that characterize currently available diamond CMP pads.

ADT’s pad conditioners feature highly repeata- ble 3D diamond structures that create a textured


surface, and many different structure heights and pitches can be easily engineered. These pad condi- tioners are manufactured using highly refined semi- conductor processing techniques which enable ADT to offer products that are of much higher quality than the current generation of conditioners at competitive prices.
