of Trikon Technologies, Inc. ("Trikon" or the "Company"), a California

Deering Avenue, Chatsworth, CA 91311.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This statement is being filed on behalf of Dawson-Samberg Capital
Management, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the "Reporting Person"). The
principal business of the Reporting Person, an investment adviser registered
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, is to act as investment adviser to
