They didn't pretend to have a successful product in PVD for 7 years.
Actually Varian was one of the leaders in PVD for Al and Al/Cu as well as for barrier layers prior to NVLS aquisition.

Novellus Systems, Inc. PVD System Helps Hynix 300-mm DRAM Start-Up
January 31, 2005
Novellus Systems, Inc. announced that its INOVA xT physical vapor deposition (PVD) system has been qualified by Hynix for aluminum PVD applications at the DRAM manufacturer's 300-mm fab in Icheon, Korea. Chosen for its record of productivity and cost-efficiency in high-volume DRAM manufacturing environments, Hynix took delivery of the INOVA system in the last quarter of 2004.
