Bringing the future within reach
ASM creates the building blocks of a better tomorrow
Chips (or integrated circuits) make the impossible possible. Technologies that were once unthinkable become real: from autonomous vehicles to the next gaming console. Our technology enables the production of those chips.
1.1 trillion chips sold per year, globally
140 chips sold per person, per year on average
3 months approx time required to make one chip
2000+ chips needed for one electrical vehicle
Our company
Over 50 years of impact
We’re an innovation company, but we’re also the disruption company. There has never been a better time to be in this industry, and ASM is at the heart of it
Technology and products
We have a proven track record of innovation, spanning a wide range of equipment and process technologies used by the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers.
-
Atomic Layer Deposition
Atomic Layer Deposition, or ALD, is one of our technological solutions that works at a tiny level to make a huge difference.
-
Epitaxy
Epitaxy, often called Epi, is the process of depositing highly controlled silicon-based crystalline films, a critical process technology for creating advanced transistors and memories, and for wafer manufacturing.
-
Silicon carbide
Process equipment for epitaxial deposition of silicon carbide (SiC) is a fast-growing market, mostly due to the material’s benefits for electric vehicles. With our history in epitaxy equipment, this is a natural fit for our line-up.
-
PECVD
PECVD is another process solution we offer to deposit dielectric thin films at relatively low temperatures.
-
Vertical furnaces
Vertical furnaces offer very high productivity solutions for a wide range of thermal processes including low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), diffusion and oxidation.
