     ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER:

     This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 5") should be read in
conjunction with the Schedule 13D dated October 29, 1997 ("Schedule 13D"),
Amendment No. 1 dated April 24, 1998, Amendment No. 2 dated May 14, 1998,
Amendment No. 3 dated July 28, 1998 and Amendment No. 4 dated November 17, 1999
(collectively, "Amendment Nos. 1-4") each as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by DDJ Capital Management, LLC, a Massachusetts limited
liability company, and certain affiliates.  This Amendment No. 5 amends the
Schedule 13D, Amendment Nos. 1-4 only with respect to those items listed below.
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto on the Schedule 13D or Amendment Nos. 1-4.

     This filing of this Amendment No. 5 is not, and should not be deemed to be,
an admission that the Schedule 13D or any Amendment thereto is required to be
filed.

     This statement relates to common stock, no par value per share (the
"Shares") of Trikon Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company").  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 9255
Deering Avenue, Chatsworth, California 91311.

     As of December 9, 1999 DDJ and the DDJ Affiliates beneficially own less
than 5% of the Shares outstanding and from such date will no longer be required
to file.  This filing speaks as of December 9, 1999 and does not make any
statements with respect to any day following such date.

     ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER:

     Paragraph (a) in Item 5 is deleted and amended as follows:

     (a)  The Fund beneficially owns, and DDJ III and DDJ beneficially own as
general partner and investment manager, respectively, of the Fund 4,620,000
Shares, or approximately 4.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.  Neither
DDJ nor any of the DDJ Affiliates and, to the best knowledge of DDJ and the DDJ
Affiliates, none of the persons named in Schedule A, beneficially own any other
Shares.

ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS:

          Not Applicable.
