Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segment Information | Business Segment Information Our three reportable segments are as follows: Solar – We are a leading supplier of thermal processing systems, ALD, related automation, parts and services, to the solar/photovoltaic industry and also offer PECVD (plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition) equipment to the global solar market. Semiconductor – In our Semiconductor segment, we design, manufacture, sell and service thermal processing equipment and related controls and parts for use by leading semiconductor manufacturers, and in electronics, automotive and other industries. Polishing – In our Polishing segment, we produce consumables and machinery for lapping (fine abrading) and polishing of materials, such as sapphire substrates, optical components, silicon wafers, numerous types of crystal materials, ceramics and metal components. Information concerning our business segments is as follows:
