Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On May 19, 2005, Trikon Technologies, Inc. (“Trikon”) received a Staff Notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that Trikon is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because Trikon has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The notice states that Trikon’s securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market at the opening of business on May 31, 2005, which will be stayed if Trikon requests a hearing to appeal the delisting in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4800, et seq. on or before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 26, 2005. Trikon plans to request such a hearing, and accordingly, Trikon’s securities will remain listed pending the outcome of the hearing. Trikon expects that its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be filed prior to the date of the hearing, and thus Trikon expects to be in compliance with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) prior to the date on which its securities could be delisted.

Additionally, Nasdaq’s notification stated that at the opening of business on May 23, 2005, it will add and “E” to the end of Trikon’s ticker symbol until Trikon has fulfilled its SEC reporting obligation. As such, starting at the opening of business on May 23, 2005, Trikon will trade under the ticker symbol “TRKNE.”

On May 23, 2005, Trikon issued a press release announcing the receipt of the delisting notice from Nasdaq and its intention to request a hearing to appeal the delisting of its securities. A copy of the press release issued by Trikon concerning the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. There can be no assurances that the hearing panel will grant the Trikon’s request for continued listing.
