ACM Research Expands into Chemical Vapor Deposition Market to Support Logic & Memory Manufacturing
13 December 2022 - 12:00AM
ACM Research, Inc. (ACM) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of
wafer processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced
wafer-level packaging (WLP) applications, today, through its
operating subsidiary ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc., announced the
introduction of its Ultra PmaxTM Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor
Deposition (PECVD) tool, marking ACM’s entry into another major new
product category. ACM expects to ship its first PECVD evaluation
tool to a China-based customer in the next few weeks.
“Our Ultra PmaxTM PECVD tool marks expansion into another new
process area of front-end semiconductor manufacturing,” said Jian
Wang, CEO of ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc. “Many of our customers
are 28nm and above logic device providers. We anticipate a need to
increase capacity at more mature nodes, as mature node production
in China is significantly lower than consumption. The new PECVD
tool provides ACM with another opportunity to better serve our
customers while addressing the global logic and memory market. We
estimate that our total addressable global market will double with
the Ultra PmaxTM category announced today and the Ultra Track
category announced last month.”
About ULTRA PmaxTM PECVD
ToolThe ULTRA PmaxTM PECVD tool is equipped with a
proprietary designed chamber, gas distribution unit and chuck,
which is intended to provide better film uniformity, reduced film
stress, and improved particle performance. It is available in two
configurations: a one to three-chamber design that is ideal for
very thin layers or fast process steps, and a four to five-chamber
design that supports thick film deposition and longer process times
while still optimizing throughput. Both configurations have
multiple heaters per chamber for greater process control and higher
productivity.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release are not
historical facts and may be forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include statements regarding ACM’s
expected shipment timeline for its Ultra PmaxTM PECVD tool and
ACM’s estimate of the resulting increase in its total addressable
market from recent new product introductions. Forward-looking
statements are based on ACM management’s current expectations and
beliefs, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are
difficult to predict and that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, the following, any of which could be exacerbated even
further by the continuing COVID-19 outbreak in China and globally:
anticipated customer orders or identified market opportunities may
not grow or develop as anticipated; customer orders already
received may be postponed or canceled; ACM may be unable to obtain
the qualification and acceptance of its delivered tools when
anticipated or at all, which would delay or preclude ACM’s
recognition of revenue from the sale of those tools; suppliers may
not be able to meet ACM’s demands on a timely basis; ACM’s
technologies and tools may not gain market acceptance; ACM may be
unable to compete effectively by, among other things, enhancing its
existing tools, adding additional production capacity and engaging
additional major customers; ACM may incur significant expenses long
before it can recognize revenue from new products, if at all, due
to the costs and length of research, development, manufacturing and
customer evaluation process cycles; volatile global economic,
market, industry and other conditions could result in sharply lower
demand for products containing semiconductors and for ACM’s
products and in disruption of capital and credit markets; ACM’s
failure to successfully manage its operations, including its
inability to hire, train, integrate and manage additional qualified
engineers for research and development activities; and trade
regulations, including those recently published by the U.S.
Department of Commerce imposing certain restrictions on equipment
shipments and business practices with China-based semiconductor
manufacturers, currency fluctuations, political instability and
war, all of which may materially and adversely affect ACM due to
its substantial non-U.S. customer and supplier base and its
substantial non-U.S. manufacturing operations. A further
description of these risks, uncertainties and other matters can be
found in filings ACM makes with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, actual results and events may differ materially from
results and events currently expected by ACM. ACM undertakes no
obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof or
to reflect any change in its expectations with regard to these
forward-looking statements or the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
