- ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc. (688082.SS) engages in the research, development, production, and sale of semiconductor equipment primarily for advanced integrated circuit manufacturing, advanced wafer-level packaging, and large silicon wafer manufacturing in China and internationally. The company offers an extensive portfolio of products including cleaning equipment such as single-wafer spin cleaning systems with proprietary SAPS and TEBO technologies for 2D/3D structures, scrubbing equipment, stress-free polishing systems for through-silicon vias and fan-out wafer-level packaging, vertical furnace tube equipment, front-end coating and development track systems, electroplating equipment covering front-end copper interconnects, back-end wafer-level packaging, 3D stacking, and compound semiconductors, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) systems, as well as wet etching, degumming, and Tahoe SPM cleaning solutions for eco-friendly ultra-clean processes. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Shanghai, China, at the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, the company operates as a subsidiary of U.S.-based ACM Research, Inc., with additional facilities in South Korea and manufacturing sites targeted to achieve RMB 20 billion in annual output value once fully operational. ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc. serves leading semiconductor foundries and chip manufacturers, holding significant market shares including over 30% in single-wafer cleaning equipment in China and 8.2% globally in semiconductor electroplating, where it ranks third worldwide after delivering its 1,500th ECP chamber in early 2025. In recent developments, the company completed a major private share offering on the Shanghai STAR Market in September 2025, raising approximately RMB 4.5 billion (US$630 million) from 17 qualified investors to fund research and development, capital expenditures, production capacity expansion, and working capital, which diluted the parent company's stake from 81.1% to 74.5% while maintaining control; additionally, its self-developed panel-level horizontal electroplating equipment received the Technology Enablement Award from 3D InCites in 2025, and platform-based products have begun entering the market amid strong demand for next-generation wafer processing solutions.
