ASSEMBLY AND TESTING Sample Clauses

ASSEMBLY AND TESTING. Our equipment manufacturing operations consist of assembly of subsystems into final configuration and final testing in a cleanroom prior to customer shipment. We fabricate certain custom plastic components that are incorporated into our systems, and also procure subsystems and materials from a number of distributors and multiple outside suppliers. We have multiple suppliers for plastic, our main raw material requirement. Our principal suppliers are Advance Micropolish for gas mixing components, multiple plastics suppliers such as Port Plastics, Valin, Beco, Sunnyvale Valve, Fluoroware for valves and other components, Qualtronix for electrical assemblies, Stevxx Xxxineering for mechanical assemblies, and Delta Diversified and Expedite Precision for plastic shells. Our strategic goal is to continue to use contract manufacturers for our standard subsystems as manufacturing volume increases and product designs mature. We do not have written contracts with our suppliers and choose suppliers based on considerations of quality, cost and delivery time. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT We incurred research and development expenses of $2,749,925 in 1998 and $2,021,790 in 1997. Research and development expenses represent costs incurred for the design and development of new products, the 5 6 redesign of existing products, and the costs associated with technology development. None of our research and development costs in 1998 and 1997 were paid for by customers, or other outside organizations. The market for semiconductor fabrication equipment is characterized by rapid technological advancement and product innovation. We believe that development of new products will be required to allow us to compete effectively in the market. As of December 31, 1998, we had 20 full-time employees whose duties included research and development. We intend to hire additional research and development personnel in 1999. We have established an advanced applications laboratory complete with a Class 1 cleanroom and measurement and test equipment to assist in the development of our processes and products, perform customer demonstrations and evaluations, and assure the quality of products shipped to customers. We intend to continue our research and development activities through internal research and cooperative research relationships with customers and other technology companies. We intend to continue product enhancement programs focusing on improving reliability and performance, developing additional feat...
