      ·       Analog Devices, Inc.  ·       National Semiconductor Corporation 
· Applied Materials, Inc.  · Novellus Systems Inc. 
· Cymer, Inc.  · NVIDIA Corporation

· KLA-Tencor Corporation  · Teradyne, Inc. 
· LSI Corporation  · Varian Semiconductor Equipment 
· MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc.    Associates, Inc. 
· Molex Incorporated  · Xilinx, Inc. 

     In addition to peer group data, our human resources department engaged F. W. Cook & Co. and Radford to analyze published survey market data on base salary, bonus targets, equity awards and total compensation.
