About the Company

ASM International

Semiconductor deposition equipment and ALD tech

ASM International designs and supplies equipment and technologies for semiconductor fabrication, focusing on thin-film deposition processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Its products are used in making microchips by depositing ultra-thin material layers with precise control at the atomic level, enabling smaller and more powerful devices. The company built a global footprint through operations in the Netherlands, the US, Hong Kong, and Japan, and separated ASML Lithography (a joint venture with Philips) to focus on deposition while ASML develops photolithography systems. In recent years, ASM has sharpened its strategy around ALD, a process that creates uniformly thin layers one atomic layer at a time, allowing continued scaling of semiconductor devices. The goal is to be a core supplier of deposition technology and tools that enable chip manufacturers to produce smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient semiconductors.
