Innovation: The Heart and Soul of Employee Ingenuity
The innovation that lead to the creation of Cymer's first laser, and the continued ingenuity of its employees since 1986, contributed to the development of our Vision, Mission, Strategies and Values.

Mission
Through the collaboration of talented and innovative people, Cymer will:

Better Serve our Customers
Build a Better Company
Increase Shareholder Value

Cymer Strategies have resulted in our leading the marketplace with over three thousand light sources used in the Semiconductor industry, placing us in the forefront in technology and revenue. We supply light sources to all DUV lithography tool suppliers, and our light sources are integral to each of the world's top chipmakers. Cymer has met and exceeded the technological needs of our industry today and has stretched the industry's vision of where our technology is going to take us in the future.

Cymer achieved this unprecedented success through the extraordinary effort and ingenuity of its employees. As the company shapes the industry's vision of the future, it stretches each of its employee's vision of what they are able to achieve both personally and within small working groups. Employees at Cymer, whether they are in Manufacturing, Research and Development, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Customer Support and Service, Accounting, Legal, Human Resources, Facilities or Information Technology are asked to be leaders within their field. As such, each of our employees is given obtainable goals that will challenge their skills and abilities and is rewarded through our incentive programs for their achievements.

At Cymer, we value not only the achievements of our employees, but how these achievements are reached. Cymer has established Values that we believe are necessary for our employees to embrace in their working relationships and ethics in order to be successful. They are:

Integrity
Teamwork
Drive for Innovation
Passion to Succeed
Balance through Humor

Cymer is a process driven organization. We don't believe in re-inventing the wheel each time we enter into a new venture. Rather, we choose to learn from our past experiences and put our energy into advancing the technology of our industry to levels our customers do not yet imagine possible.

Cymer can offer you a challenging environment; a culture that believes that there is nothing we cannot accomplish through hard work and ingenuity; and a camaraderie born from working together to achieve goals which set us apart from our competitors as leaders in an industry which is shaping the way we live our lives today and in the future.

Balance Through Humor
"In pursuit of our mission, humor is a valued part of Cymer's culture. After all, what is more ludicrous than a team of people committed to doing the impossible and actually pulling it off over and over again."

- Bob Akins, Founder and CEO
