The semiconductor manufacturing food chain experienced a surge in mergers-and-acquisitions activity in recent months. Leading the way was Intersil, which bolstered its position as an analog/mixed-signal chipmaker through a cash-and-stock buyout of Xicor. Akrion jumped into the single-wafer, wet-process tool market with its purchase of Verteq. On the analytical front, Particle Measuring Systems bolstered its contamination-monitoring product line with the acquisition of Molecular Analytics from SAES Getters. Employees of advanced process control specialist Ibex formed NeuMath, then purchased the Ibex name and significant assets. Materially speaking, ATMI sold its gallium nitride substrates and epitaxy business to Cree, while Isonics bought EnCompass, a test-wafer supplier and wafer-recycling service provider.
