Companies Facts
third quarter of 2011 was $36.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $35.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.
abot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) has added graphene technology to its portfolio. Cabot has
added this emerging performance technology to its portfolio through an intellectual property licensing agreement with XG Sciences, Inc. Under the agree- ment, Cabot will license intellectual property rights to XG’s xGnP®
graphene nanoplatelets technology,
including detailed know-how regarding the manufac- turing process.
Furthermore, Cabot announced results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2011. Key Highlights:
• Robust segment earnings drive strong fiscal 2011 performance, resulting in $3.57 EPS, $3.00 adjusted EPS;
• Value pricing and a favorable product mix continue to benefit results;
• Short-term volume softness in certain end markets, but long-term growth drivers remain solid;
• Supermetals divestiture will reduce cyclicality of portfolio.
EA-Leti researchers will present seven papers at the 2011 International Electron Devices Mee-
ting, Dec. 5-7, in Washington, D.C., including papers on 3D sequential integration and phase change
memory (PCM) as synapse for ultra-dense neuro- morphic systems.
A paper by Perrine Batude and others on “Advances, Challenges and Opportunities in 3D CMOS Sequen- tial Integration” explores the possibility of using the third- dimension potential fully by, for example, connecting two stacked layers at the transistor scale. The paper contrasts that with 3D parallel integration, which is limited to connecting blocks of a few thou- sand transistors.
This ability to offer fine-grain circuit partitioning at the transistor scale can be useful for a wide range of applications such as FPGAs, highly miniaturized imagers and CMOS gates. The repartitioning of the different functions on distinct levels offers the possi- bility to optimize each technology separately, while vertical proximity would enable delay reduction.
VD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV) announced the expansion of the materials por-
tion of its business. These materials will be marketed through its wholly owned subsidiary, CVD Materials Corporation.
Moreover, CVD Equipment Corporation has entered into an agreement reinstating and amending the Contract to purchase a 120,000 square foot facility in Central Islip, NY.
The Company announced record revenue and in- come for the three and nine months ended Septem- ber 30, 2011. Revenue of $8,844,000 for the three
