On August 1, AMEC (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc.) celebrated its 22nd anniversary, with Chairman Dr. Gerald Yin outlining a long-term roadmap: the company aims to cover over 60% of high-end semiconductor equipment categories within five years, and to join the global equipment industry’s first tier by 2035 in scale, competitiveness, and customer reputation.

AMEC plans to extend beyond etch equipment into a comprehensive platform player, targeting more than 70% coverage in advanced packaging tools. To date, 37 self-developed systems are in mass production across major fabs, with cumulative global shipments of over 6,800 etch reaction chambers by end-2025.

The company has built two major etch technology families—CCP and ICP—spanning 65nm to 3nm and below, serving leading foundries worldwide. 2025 revenue reached RMB 12.3 billion (+36% YoY) , with net profit of RMB 2.1 billion (+30%) . R&D spending hit RMB 3.7 billion , or 30% of revenue , fueling 20+ new tool developments across etch, deposition, inspection, and CMP.

By June 2026, over 8,600 AMEC chambers have been deployed across more than 200 production lines globally. Over the next five years, the company plans to expand its total production floor space to 900,000 square meters , with annual output capacity potentially reaching RMB 70 billion.

From ICgoodFind: From etch leader to equipment platform – AMEC is building the full stack. With 30% R&D intensity and a 60% coverage target, domestic tool replacement is accelerating faster than many expected.
