          Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
          &#147;Securities Act&#148;), this Registration Statement shall also cover any
          additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under the
          Registrant&#146;s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;2007 Plan&#148;) by
          reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar
          transaction effected without the Registrant&#146;s receipt of consideration
          which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of
          Registrant&#146;s Common Stock. Additionally, this Registration Statement shall
          also cover any shares previously registered with the Registrant&#146;s
          Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-8 originally filed with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on
          April 7, 2004 in connection with the Registrant&#146;s 2004 Stock Option Plan,
          (the &#147;2004 Plan&#148;) that would otherwise return to the 2004 Plan as a
          result of forfeiture, termination or expiration of awards previously granted
          under the 2004 Plan.</FONT></P>

          The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share has been estimated in accordance
          with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating
          the registration fee of shares reserved for future issuance under the 2007 Plan.
          The computation is based on the average of the high and low price of the
          Registrant&#146;s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on May
          9, 2007, because the price at which the options to be granted in the
          future is not currently determinable.</FONT></P>

through 35-1-459 of the Montana Code Annotated authorize a court to award, or a
corporation to provide, indemnification to directors and officers on terms sufficiently
broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act. Section&nbsp;35-1-452 of the Montana Code Annotated authorizes a
corporation to indemnify a director against liability incurred because he is or was a
director of the registrant, provided that certain standards are met, except in connection
with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director is adjudged
liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding in which the director
is adjudged liable on that basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the
director. Article&nbsp;VII, Section&nbsp;B of the Registrant&#146;s Articles of
Incorporation provides for indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s directors, officers,
employees and agents to an extent not inconsistent with Montana law. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Directors
of the Registrant may also be indemnified pursuant to a liability insurance policy

liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in connection with matters specifically
provided by the underwriters for inclusion in this Registration Statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;35-1-216(2)(d) authorizes
a corporation to include in its articles of incorporation a provision
          eliminating or limiting the liability of a director to the corporation or its
          shareholders for money damages for any actions or omissions by a director,
          except liability for the amount of a financial benefit received by a director
to           which the director is not entitled, an intentional infliction of harm on the
          corporation or the shareholders, an intentional violation of criminal law, or
if           the director participates in making an unlawful distribution. Article&nbsp;VII,

<P><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may           be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
          pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been
          advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
          public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
          liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
          paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
          successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
          director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
          registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter           has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate           jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against           public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the           final adjudication of such issue.  </FONT></P>

          Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
          "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any
          additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under the
          Registrant's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") by
          reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar
          transaction effected without the Registrant's receipt of consideration
          which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of
          Registrant's Common Stock. Additionally, this Registration Statement shall
          also cover any shares previously registered with the Registrant's
          Registration Statement on Form S-8 originally filed with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on
          April 7, 2004 in connection with the Registrant's 2004 Stock Option Plan,
          (the "2004 Plan") that would otherwise return to the 2004 Plan as a
          result of forfeiture, termination or expiration of awards previously granted
          under the 2004 Plan.
(2)    
          The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share has been estimated in accordance
          with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating
          the registration fee of shares reserved for future issuance under the 2007 Plan.
          The computation is based on the average of the high and low price of the
          Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on May
          9, 2007, because the price at which the options to be granted in the
          future is not currently determinable.

(the "Commission") by Semitool, Inc., a Montana corporation (the
"Registrant"):
1.       The
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
          September 30, 2006, filed with the Commission on December 14, 2006.
2.       The

3.       The
Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission           on
January 3, 2007.
4.       The
description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the           Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the           Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the           "Exchange Act"), on
January 25, 1995 and declared effective February           1, 1995, including any
amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating           such description.
All
documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a),

Item 6.    
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Sections 35-1-451
through 35-1-459 of the Montana Code Annotated authorize a court to award, or a
corporation to provide, indemnification to directors and officers on terms sufficiently
broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act. Section 35-1-452 of the Montana Code Annotated authorizes a
corporation to indemnify a director against liability incurred because he is or was a
director of the registrant, provided that certain standards are met, except in connection
with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director is adjudged
liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding in which the director
is adjudged liable on that basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the
director. Article VII, Section B of the Registrant's Articles of
Incorporation provides for indemnification of the Registrant's directors, officers,
employees and agents to an extent not inconsistent with Montana law.
Directors
of the Registrant may also be indemnified pursuant to a liability insurance policy
maintained by the Registrant for such purposes. The Underwriting Agreement provides for
indemnification by the underwriters of the registrant and its executive officers and
directors, and by the registrant of the underwriters, for certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in connection with matters specifically
provided by the underwriters for inclusion in this Registration Statement.
Section 35-1-216(2)(d) authorizes
a corporation to include in its articles of incorporation a provision
          eliminating or limiting the liability of a director to the corporation or its
          shareholders for money damages for any actions or omissions by a director,
          except liability for the amount of a financial benefit received by a director
to           which the director is not entitled, an intentional infliction of harm on the
          corporation or the shareholders, an intentional violation of criminal law, or
if           the director participates in making an unlawful distribution. Article VII,
          Section A of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation contains
          provisions implementing, to the fullest extent permitted by Montana law, such
          limitations on a director's liability to the registrant and its
          shareholders.
The
Registrant entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers that require
the Registrant to indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements
and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative
action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such
person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises, provided such person acted
in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Registrant and also sets forth certain procedures that will
apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
Item 7.    Exemption

Item 9.    Undertakings.
(A)       The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)       to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
3
(i)       To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)       To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective           date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
          thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change           in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the           foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the           total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was           registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum           offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the           Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume           and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
the maximum aggregate           offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee"          table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)       To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
          previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
          such information in the registration statement;
Provided,
however,
that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13
or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2)       That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,           each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
          statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
          securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)       To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
          securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
          offering.
(B)       The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining           any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's           annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the           Exchange Act
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit           plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)           that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed           to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,           and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the           initial
bona
fide
offering thereof.
(C)       Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may           be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
          pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been
          advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
          public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
          liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
          paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
          successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
          director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
          registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter           has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate           jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against           public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the           final adjudication of such issue.
