Skytech Inc., a leading Taiwanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer, is forecasting a milestone year in 2025, with anticipated revenue growth exceeding 20% year-on-year. The surge is driven by robust demand for advanced chip manufacturing and packaging solutions, including atomic layer deposition (ALD) equipment and chip-on-wafer-on-substrate technologies. Skytech's innovative offerings, such as its highly customizable ALD systems and newly introduced etching solutions like Descum and Plasma Polish, are solidifying its position in the global semiconductor industry. With expanded clean room facilities and a strong product portfolio, Skytech continues to lead in cutting-edge semiconductor technologies while navigating geopolitical challenges with resilience.
Skytech Inc, a Taiwanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer, forecasts at least 20% year-on-year revenue growth in 2025, driven by strong demand for advanced chip manufacturing and new advanced packaging equipment. The company is expanding its clean room facilities in Hsinchu County to meet customer demand and has secured significant orders for atomic layer deposition equipment and tools used in advanced packaging technology, including chip-on-wafer-on-substrate solutions. In the first 10 months of 2024, Skytech’s revenue grew 18.33% to NT$1.69 billion, with net profit rising 64.15% year-on-year to NT$261 million. Semiconductor equipment contributes 50% of Skytech's revenue, while components and parts supply make up the remainder. With a 30% exposure to the Chinese market, Skytech is monitoring geopolitical tensions but remains unaffected by export restrictions.
Skytech develops and manufactures Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment. In 2019, the company designed its first ALD machine, named Atomila, marking its entry into the ALD equipment market. Skytech's ALD systems are equipped with six chamber positions and are highly integrated with Equipment Front End Module systems. These systems offer customizable chamber configurations based on customer requirements and include options for pre-treatment or post-treatment of ALD depositions. Depending on temperature and plasma damage concerns, customers can choose between Thermal-ALD or Plasma-Enhanced ALD (PE-ALD) processes. The equipment features a patented gas inlet design and showerhead system to ensure excellent uniformity. Additionally, an optional automatic pick-and-place tool enables coating of different wafer sizes on a 12-inch platform, supporting fab automation. In 2021, Skytech's ALD equipment was verified and adopted by Epistar, contributing to the commercialization of LED technologies.
Skytech's Powder ALD Tool is designed to extend the lifespan and enhance the stability of quantum dots (QDs) by applying Al₂O₃ passivation to protect against oxygen, moisture, and heat. Leveraging Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), the tool provides sub-nanometer precision and highly conformal coatings under gentle conditions, making it ideal for QD thin films. The tool features an optional ozone generator for diverse oxidation sources, a specialized flow field design for improved powder coating, a uniform chamber temperature maintained by a unique heater design, and support for three sets of precursor/co-precursor pipelines. It is specifically tailored for effective powder coating, ensuring optimal protection for QDs.
In 2023, the company introduced etching systems such as Descum and Plasma Polish, expanding its product line to meet market demands. These etching solutions are designed to support various semiconductor manufacturing processes, enhancing Skytech's capabilities in the semiconductor equipment industry.
