CY2014 Conflict Minerals Report
This is the Conflict Minerals Report (“Report”) of Cascade Microtech, Inc. (“CSCD”) for the year that ended December 31, 2014 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”). The Rule requires CSCD to report on the source and origin of Conflict Minerals that are contained in the products CSCD manufactures or contracts to manufacture and that are necessary to the functionality or production of the products. “Conflict Minerals” are tantalum, tin, gold, and tungsten for the purposes of this Report. Under the Rule, if after a reasonable country of origin inquiry CSCD cannot determine that it has no reason to believe that some of the Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (“Covered Country”) and are not from recycled or scrap sources, CSCD must exercise due diligence on the conflict minerals’ source and chain of custody and report on the results.
This Report is not subject to an independent private sector audit as permitted by the Rule.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meaning given to them in the Rule.
Company Overview
CSCD is a worldwide leader in the design, development, and manufacture of advanced wafer probing, thermal and reliability solutions for the electrical measurement and testing of high performance semiconductor devices. CSCD’s products enable precision on-wafer measurement of integrated circuits and are typically used in the early phases of the development of semiconductor processes where the accuracy and repeatability of measurements is critical to achieving yield from advanced process nodes. CSCD’s products are also used in production applications to test semiconductor devices prior to completion of the manufacturing process. CSCD’s engineering probe stations and analytical probes are used in research and development to perform precise electrical measurements, or electrical metrology, on increasingly complex and high-speed chips in order to assure quality and reliability, reduce costly redesigns, accelerate time-to-market and improve chip fabrication processes. CSCD’s production probe cards reduce manufacturing costs of complex and high-speed chips by identifying defective chips early in the process and by testing multiple chips concurrently.
CSCD has four manufacturing facilities: two locations in Beaverton, Oregon, USA were consolidated to one in August of 2014; North St Paul, Minnesota, USA; Munich and Sacka, Germany. CSCD’s supply chain is complex and diverse with vendors residing throughout the world.
Due Diligence Standards
CSCD’s due diligence measures were designed to conform to the framework in theOrganization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition.

CSCD Conflict Minerals Policy
CSCD has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy and requires its suppliers to comply with the policy. CSCD’s Conflict Minerals Policy is found on its website athttp://www.cmicro.com/company/quality-and-environment and includes the following:
It is Cascade Microtech Inc.’s intent to ensure that our organization does not aid in funding or enabling any group to oppress others through the manufacturing of our products. This policy fits into our framework of social responsibility as global citizens.
CSCD supports ending violence and human rights violations in the mining of certain minerals from a location described as the “Conflict Countries,” located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries.
CSCD supports the Conflict Minerals Rule passed by Congress to further the humanitarian goal of ending violent conflict in Conflict Countries, where the exploitation and trade of “Conflict Minerals” has partially financed the oppression of people in the DRC and its surrounding countries.
Due Diligence Measures and Applicable Products
CSCD initially reviewed the products that it manufactured or contracted to manufacture in 2014 to determine which of those products contained Conflict Minerals that were necessary to the functionality or production of CSCD’s products. Based on that review, CSCD determined that all of its products (the “Applicable 3TG Products”) potentially contain Conflict Minerals and possibly were within the scope of the Rule requiring CSCD to perform reasonable country of origin inquiries and additional due diligence efforts in order to determine the source and chain of custody of the Conflict Minerals contained in the Applicable 3TG Products.
CSCD requested that applicable direct suppliers for CSCD complete a survey to identify the source of Conflict Minerals they supply to us and return the survey to CSCD. CSCD does not buy Conflict Minerals directly from smelters or refiners.
The survey was designed to collect information on the existence of Conflict Minerals in parts supplied to CSCD, the smelter or refiner of the Conflict Minerals, if present, and whether the Conflict Minerals were sourced from a Covered Country. The questions asked in the survey included, but were not limited to, the identity of any Conflict Minerals used in products supplied to us, the location of applicable smelters and if the country of origin for the identified Conflict Minerals included DRC or covered countries. Completion of the survey with a certification statement pertaining to the accuracy of the disclosed information was obtained from nearly 85% of suppliers surveyed. CSCD reviewed the survey data to ensure the completeness of each survey upon its return. CSCD also reviewed the survey data compared to publically available information to help it access the accuracy of the data. CSCD compared the survey results with publically available information provided by the Conflict Free Smelter Initiative’s (“CFSI”).
Exhibit 1.01 | 29 May 2015 |
Cascade Microtech, Inc.
CY2014 Conflict Minerals Report
Suppliers that do not complete the survey risk non-compliance with CSCD’s Conflict Mineral’s Policy and the right to continue to supply products to CSCD. CSCD made non-responsive suppliers aware that non-compliance may lead to disqualification as a supplier.
Based on the survey results and its due diligence efforts, CSCD was not able to obtain what it believes is accurate information on the country of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in the Applicable 3TG Products.
Methodology
CSCD sources a wide variety of components, parts, materials and assemblies from a very diverse supply base of more than 700 suppliers worldwide. To effectively manage its process and prioritize its efforts, CSCD identified applicable suppliers it believed might supply components, parts, materials and assemblies containing Conflict Minerals and that likely meet one or more of the following characteristics of “critical suppliers” (suppliers that are essential to CSCD’s success and upon which CSCD has a strong dependence): top spend; sole-source or single-source and provide products of high significance and leaders in technology, quality and performance within their market segment (57 in total); other high-spend suppliers (65); and low-spend suppliers whose products likely contain the minerals of interest (16). Surveys were sent to these 138 suppliers who represent greater than 88% of CSCD’s annual procurement spend.
Data
Total number of smelters identified by suppliers | 522 | |||
Number of smelters listed as compliant with the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) | 151 | |||
Number of suppliers including smelters using recycled or scrap sources on their report | 7 |
For Smelter Information see Attachment 1.
Conclusion
Based on the inquiries and due diligence procedures CSCD performed and its suppliers’ general lack of process control over Conflict Minerals in their supply chain, CSCD is unable to determine the origin of all the Conflict Minerals used in its products and cannot exclude the possibility that some may have originated from the Covered Countries. As such, CSCD has concluded that its Applicable 3TG Products are “DRC conflict undeterminable.”
Future Risk Mitigation and Due Diligence Efforts
The following are some of the steps CSCD intends to take to improve the results of its due diligence efforts and mitigate the risk that its necessary Conflict Minerals benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:
• | Continue to educate its suppliers on CSCD’s Conflict Minerals Policy and the need to complete an accurate survey or risk discontinuance. |
Exhibit 1.01 | 29 May 2015 |
Cascade Microtech, Inc.
CY2014 Conflict Minerals Report
• | Encourage CSCD’s suppliers to only source Conflict Minerals from smelters or refiners participating in the CFSP or Responsible Gold Guidance Program or comparable programs. |
• | Gather more precise country of origin information, and if any Conflict Minerals come from Covered Countries and the applicable smelter or refiner is not participating in a recognized conflict free compliance program, conduct further due diligence on the source of origin or mine, or consider discontinuing with the supplier sourcing from the non-compliant smelter or refiner. |
