ASM
ASM (Advanced Semiconductor Materials) is a pioneer in the semiconductor industry, having been founded in the Netherlands in 1968, during the very early stages of the industry's development. The company's primary focus is on supplying wafer processing equipment, particularly for the deposition of thin films, to leading semiconductor manufacturers.
ASM designs, manufactures, sells, and services deposition tools, providing its customers with the advanced technologies necessary for producing semiconductor devices or integrated circuits (ICs). These tools are essential for creating the microscopic layers of materials on a silicon wafer, which form the basis of ICs.
The company boasts a diverse and global workforce of over 4,500 employees, representing 70 nationalities. These individuals work together to push the boundaries of physics in key technologies such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), epitaxy, Silicon Carbide (SiC), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and vertical furnaces.
The innovations developed by ASM enable critical technologies that are shaping our world, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Electric Vehicles (EVs), medical devices, cloud computing, and green energy. This means that working at ASM is not just about participating in the current technological landscape, but also contributing to the future of technology and society.
