Segment and Geographic Information [Abstract]

Segment and Geographic Information

Note 11 — Segment and Geographic Information

Since the first quarter of 2011, the Company has operated in one reportable segment — the Semiconductor segment. The change in reportable segments was made in connection with the March 9, 2011 agreement to sell the ESG business to NetApp and has been reflected in the Company's segment reporting for all periods presented.

The Company's chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company's CODM bears ultimate responsibility for, and is actively engaged in, the allocation of resources and the evaluation of the Company's operating and financial results. Management's conclusion that the Company operates in a single reportable segment is based on the following:

• The Company assesses performance, including incentive compensation, based upon consolidated operational performance and financial results;

• The CODM allocates resources and makes other operational decisions based on direct involvement with the Company's operations and product development efforts;

• The Company is managed under a functionally-based organizational structure, with the head of each function reporting directly to the CODM. Management of shared functions also reports directly to the CODM or to one of his direct reports; and

• The Company frequently integrates its discrete technologies across many of its products and its integrated circuits are largely manufactured under similar processes. This integrated approach supports the Company's ability to make financial decisions based on consolidated financial performance, without reliance on discrete financial information.
