Cabot Microelectronics
Corporation (Nasdaq: CCMP), the world's leading supplier of chemical mechanical
planarization (CMP) polishing slurries to the semiconductor industry, announced
today that it has received a Supplier Award from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
Company (TSMC) for supplying CMP polishing slurries and pads. Cabot Microelectronics
was one of only two material suppliers to receive an award at TSMC's annual
supplier day held last week in Hsinchu, Taiwan.
The TSMC award is granted to suppliers who demonstrate excellence across a
variety of areas, including product quality, cost of ownership, on-time delivery,
world-class service, and a commitment to technology and safety. Additionally,
this year’s award theme was focused on Supply Chain Excellence, an aspect
in which Cabot Microelectronics has excelled through offering a variety of innovative
CMP consumables. Cabot Microelectronics is currently establishing a pad finishing
facility within TSMC’s site.
William Noglows, Chairman and CEO of Cabot Microelectronics stated, “We
are honored to receive this award from TSMC, which we believe reflects our strong
partnership and our efforts to discover creative and innovative solutions to
today’s manufacturing and supply chain challenges. Through the execution
of our three key initiatives of Technology Leadership, Operations Excellence,
and Connecting with Customers, we aim to continue to exceed the needs of important
and strategic customers like TSMC.”
