PMC-Sierra Israel (formerly Passave) develops semiconductors for broadband fiber access networks. PMC-Sierra Israel, Ltd. company designs system-on-a-chip devices for networking equipment that will bring "fiber to the home," providing broadband access to residences for voice, video, and high-speed Internet services. This market is often called the "first mile" in broadband fiber access, since it represents the initial step in building fiber-optic networks across the US and in other developed countries. All of PMC-Israel's customers are in Asia, with most located in Japan. PMC-Sierra acquired Passave in 2006 for about $300 million in stock.

Cooligy makes components and subsystems used to cool computer chips. As chips get smaller and faster, they also get much hotter; Cooligy touts its technology, which is used in some Apple computers, as providing better cooling in a smaller package when compared with traditional cooling methods. Smaller packaging means a larger competitive edge. The company was founded in 2002 and uses packaging technology developed at Stanford University. Emerson Network Power, a division of Emerson Electric, acquired Cooligy in 2005. Cooligy's investors included Granite Ventures, H.I.G. Ventures, Mayfield Fund, and Mohr, Davidow Ventures.

Cabot Microelectronics Corporation was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Aurora, Illinois. Cabot Microelectronics Corporation (Cabot Microelectronics) is a supplier of polishing slurries used in the manufacture of integrated circuit (IC) devices within the semiconductor industry, in a process called chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). CMP is a polishing process used by IC device manufacturers to planarize or flatten many of the multiple layers of material that are deposited upon silicon wafers in the production of ICs. It is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of CMP consumables. It develops, produces and sells CMP slurries for polishing conducting and insulating materials used in IC devices, and also for polishing the disk substrates and magnetic heads used in hard disk drives. The Company also develops, manufactures and sells CMP polishing pads, which are used in conjunction with slurries in the CMP process. In February 2009, the Company completed its acquisition of Epoch Material Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Eternal Chemical Co., Ltd.
