On Tuesday, Shares of Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), lost -2.18% to $18.89.
Applied Materials, unveiled the Applied Olympia(TM) ALD system featuring a unique, modular architecture that delivers high-performance ALD technology to manufacturers of leading-edge 3D memory and logic chips. The 3D device inflection is driving growth in ALD with demand for new patterning films, new conformal materials and lower thermal budgets. The Olympia system is well positioned to fulfill these requirements with uncompromising ALD performance, addressing industry needs with the process flexibility to precisely engineer and efficiently deposit a variety of low-temperature, high-quality films for multiple applications.
The Olympia system`s adaptable modular architecture enables a uniquely flexible and rapid process sequence vital for controlling the more complex chemistries needed to develop the next generation of ALD films. Further, the modular design creates complete separation of chemistries, eliminating the pump/purge steps of conventional ALD technologies for improved productivity. The combined advantages of the Olympia system offer a superior solution to conventional ALD systems and position the tool for widespread adoption.
Applied Materials, Inc. provides manufacturing equipment, services, and software to the semiconductor, flat panel display, solar photovoltaic (PV), and related industries worldwide.
Shares of MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:MWE), inclined 1.70% to $69.25, during its last trading session.
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) declared that MPLX LP (MPLX), the midstream master limited partnership (MLP) sponsored by MPC, has signed a definitive merger agreement with MarkWest Energy Partners, whereby MarkWest would become a wholly owned partner of MPLX. The merger would be a unit-for-unit transaction, generally predictable to be tax-free, plus a one-time cash payment to MarkWest unitholders, that implies an enterprise value for MarkWest of about $20 billion, counting the assumption of debt of about $4.2 billion, as of the close of trading on Friday, July 10, 2015. MPC would contribute $675 million of cash to MPLX to fund the one-time cash payment.
MarkWest, an MLP that owns and operates midstream service businesses in several liquids-rich natural gas resource plays in the U.S., is the nation`s second largest processor of natural gas and the largest processor and fractionator in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions.
MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. engages in the gathering, processing, and transportation of natural gas. The company is also involved in the gathering, transportation, fractionation, storage, and marketing of natural gas liquids; and the gathering and transportation of crude oil.
Finally, Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (NYSE:VSH), ended its last trade with 0.50% gain, and closed at $11.99.
Vishay Intertechnology, released new bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) ESD protection diodes in the compact SOT-323 package. Measuring only 2.3 mm by 2.1 mm with a low 0.95 mm profile, the space-saving Vishay Semiconductors single-line VLIN26A1-03G and dual-line VCAN26A2-03G offer low capacitance and leakage current for the protection of automotive data lines against transient voltage signals.
For LIN bus applications, the VLIN26A1-03G provides transient protection for one data line as per IEC 61000‑4‑2 at ± 30 kV (air and contact discharge), while the VCAN26A2-03G protects two lines for CAN-Bus and FLEX-Bus applications. The AEC-Q101-qualified devices feature low load capacitance of 10 pF typical and 15 pF maximum, low maximum leakage current of < 0.05 μA, and a working voltage of ± 26.5 V. The protection diodes are lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. manufactures and supplies discrete semiconductors and passive components in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The company operates in five segments: MOSFETs, Diodes, Optoelectronic Components, Resistors & Inductors, and Capacitors.
