The principal executive offices of Metron are located at 4425 Fortran Drive, San Jose, California 95134.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by FSI International, Inc. (“FSI”). FSI is a Minnesota corporation, and the address of its principal business and principal executive office is 3455 Lyman Boulevard, Chaska, MN 55318. FSI’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “FSII.” FSI designs, manufactures, markets and supports equipment used in the fabrication of microelectronics, such as advanced semiconductor devices.

During the past five years, neither FSI nor (to FSI’s knowledge) any person named in Schedule I has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

During the past five years, neither FSI nor (to FSI’s knowledge) any person named in Schedule I was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Voting Agreement described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference) was entered into by FSI and Applied Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Applied”), as an inducement to Applied to enter into the Purchase Agreement described in Item 4 of this Statement (the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference).

FSI has not expended any funds in connection with the Voting Agreement. FSI did not receive additional consideration from Applied in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreement. In addition, FSI granted Applied an irrevocable proxy for the purpose of voting the Metron common shares covered by the Voting Agreement.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

(a) – (c) This filing on Schedule 13D has been made because FSI has entered into a Voting Agreement with Applied as an inducement to Applied to enter into the Purchase Agreement (as described below), and thus FSI may be deemed to hold the Metron common shares with a purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of Metron. FSI, however, does not concede that it holds the Metron common shares with such a purpose or effect.

Pursuant to a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2004, by and between Applied and Metron (the “Purchase Agreement”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (including adoption and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby by the shareholders of Metron and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals), Metron will sell and assign, and Applied will purchase and assume, substantially all of Metron’s assets and liabilities (the “Transaction”). A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and the description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, in order to induce Applied to enter into the Purchase Agreement, Applied and certain shareholders of Metron (the “Shareholders”), including FSI, entered into Voting Agreements and Proxies, dated August 16, 2004 (the “Voting Agreements”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Shareholders, including FSI, irrevocably appointed the directors of Applied as such Shareholder’s lawful attorneys and proxies with respect to certain prescribed matters related to the Transaction. The foregoing proxies provide the directors of Applied the limited right to vote or deliver a consent with respect to each of the Metron common shares beneficially owned by the Shareholders, at every meeting of the shareholders of Metron, and at every adjournment thereof, and in every action or approval by written consent of the shareholders of Metron in lieu of such a meeting with respect to any of the following: (i) in favor of the adoption and approval of (x) the Purchase Agreement, the Transaction and the other matters contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (y) any matter in furtherance of the Transaction and any of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Voting Agreements, and (z) the waiver of any notice to Shareholder that may have been or may be required relating to the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Voting Agreements, and (ii) against any (x) Company Takeover Proposal (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) made by any person other than Applied, without regard to any recommendation from Metron’s Board of Directors to shareholders concerning such Company Takeover Proposal, and without regard to the terms of such Company Takeover Proposal, (y) any agreement, amendment of any agreement (including Metron’s articles of association or other organizational documents), or any other action that is intended or could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or discourage the Transaction and any of the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the Voting Agreements, and (z) any action, agreement, transaction or proposal that would result in a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation of Metron, the Purchased Companies or their Subsidiaries (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the form of the Voting Agreements is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and the description of the Voting Agreements contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 2.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, not applicable.

(e) – (f) The Purchase Agreement restricts Metron from, among other matters, engaging in certain transactions, including extraordinary corporate transactions (other than the Transaction), making acquisitions, selling assets, incurring indebtedness, changing its capitalization and paying dividends and otherwise requires Metron to operate in the ordinary course of business.

(g) Not applicable.

(h) – (i) To FSI’s knowledge, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Transaction, Metron intends to wind up its affairs, including delisting its securities from NASDAQ, liquidating and dissolving.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
