About Amtech Systems Inc.

Amtech Systems, Inc. engages in the design, assembly, sale, and installation of capital equipment and related consumables used in the manufacture of wafers, primarily for the solar and semiconductor industries. The company sells these products to manufacturers of solar cells, silicon wafers, and semiconductors worldwide, particularly in the Asia, the United States, and northern Europe.

The company supplies horizontal diffusion furnace systems used for solar (photovoltaic) cell and semiconductor manufacturing. Its customers use its furnaces to manufacture solar cells, semiconductors, silicon wafers, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which are used in end markets, such as solar power, telecommunications, consumer electronics, computers, automotive, and hand-held devices. It also sells its furnaces to research institutes and universities. Its customers include solar cell manufacturing companies, as well as semiconductor and wafer manufacturing companies.

Segments

The company operates in two business segments, Solar and Semiconductor Equipment; and Polishing Supplies.

Solar and Semiconductor Equipment Segment Products

The company’s furnace and automation equipment is manufactured in its facilities in the Netherlands, France, and Massachusetts.

Horizontal Diffusion Furnaces: Through its subsidiaries, Tempress Systems, Inc. (Tempress) and Bruce Technologies, Inc., the company produces and sells horizontal diffusion furnaces. The company’s horizontal furnaces address various steps in the semiconductor manufacturing process, including diffusion, phosphorus tetrachloride doping (POCl3), low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), and annealing. The company’s horizontal furnaces also address diffusion and applying antireflective coating in the solar cell manufacturing process.

The company’s horizontal furnaces generally consist of three large modules: the load station where the loading of the wafers occurs; the furnace section, which comprises one to four reactor chambers; and the gas distribution cabinet where the flow of gases into the reactor chambers is controlled, and often customized to meet the requirements of a customer’s particular processes.

PSG Dry Etch: The PSG dry etch process step in the manufacturing of solar cells removes phosphorus silicate glass (PSG) that naturally occurs during the diffusion process.

Automation Products – Solar: The company’s automation technology products are used in various semiconductor manufacturing steps and the diffusion processing step in solar cell manufacturing. Its automation equipment includes mass wafer transfer systems, sorters, long-boat transfer systems, load station elevators, buffers, and conveyers. The company uses a vacuum technology for its solar wafer transfer systems designed to offer high throughput.

Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD): The company’s new solar PECVD product applies an anti-reflective coating to solar wafers; a coating critical to the solar cells. This solar product adds another solar cell processing step to the company’s offerings.

Automation Products – Semiconductor

S-300: The company’s patented S-300 model provides a method of automatically transporting a batch of approximately 300 wafers to the designated tube level and automatically placing them directly onto the cantilever loader of a diffusion furnace at one time. This product is suitable for the production of various semiconductors manufactured using a horizontal furnace. The S-300 can be used in conjunction with various wafer sizes and is particularly suited for manufacturers of 300mm wafers.

Comet: The company’s Comet and Gemini series of wafer transfer systems include a range of throughputs and footprints to serve the needs of its customers who serve the semiconductor industry. Comet Sorter with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is used in sorting, randomizing, or compacting. The Comet Sorter is a cassette to cassette with OCR front and back scribe functions, notch alignment, and SECSII communication. Comet ID Reader checks tag carriers then reads each wafer scribe. The Comet ID Reader sends the information to the host with SECSI

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
