ACM Research, Inc. ACMR

ACMR Company Overview

ACM Research, Inc. is a semiconductor equipment company that develops, manufactures, and services wafer-processing solutions used in the production of integrated circuits and advanced semiconductor devices. The company operates primarily within the semiconductor capital equipment industry, with a focus on wet cleaning, electroplating, stress-free polishing, thermal processing, and packaging technologies for semiconductor fabrication. Its products are designed to improve manufacturing yield and reduce process defects for advanced logic, memory, and specialty semiconductor applications.

The company’s primary revenue drivers are sales of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, along with related spares, services, and support contracts. ACM Research serves semiconductor manufacturers and foundries, particularly in China, while also expanding its presence in other global semiconductor markets. A key differentiator is its proprietary cleaning technologies, including Space Alternated Phase Shift (SAPS) and Timely Energized Bubble Oscillation (TEBO), which are intended to reduce chemical consumption and improve wafer cleaning performance. ACM Research was founded in 1998 by Dr. David Wang and later established a significant operating presence in China through ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc. The company became publicly traded in the United States and has expanded alongside increasing semiconductor manufacturing investment in Asia.
