Let me tell you about TEL. Tokyo Electron Limited (TEL) is the world's #2 manufacturer of semiconductor production equipment -- well behind #1 Applied Materials, but well ahead of other contenders. TEL's chip-making systems include chemical vapor deposition, thermal processing, etching, cleaning, and probing equipment. The company also makes flat-panel display (FPD) production equipment, and distributes other companies' chip-making equipment, computer systems, networking products, and software in Japan. Subsidiary Tokyo Electron Device distributes chips, boards, and software made by companies including Advanced Micro Devices, Agilent, Motorola, and Microsoft
