What SEMISHARE does

SEMISHARE (Shenzhen Semishare Technology Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Chinese semiconductor inspection and testing equipment provider founded in 2010, headquartered in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, with a wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary (Semishare International Limited). The company designs and manufactures wafer probe stations spanning manual (H/E/M Series), semi-automatic (X Series), next-generation high-performance (V Series), and fully automatic (A Series) configurations, plus specialized vacuum high/low temperature variants (CG/CGX/C Series) and a failure-analysis probe station (FA Series). Adjacent product lines include wafer-level silicon photonics testing systems, Hall effect testing systems, fully automatic four-point probe sheet resistance testers, mask laser repair machines (L14, LD14), and a Professional Testing Services (PTS) offering; the company also sells temperature chucks, sub-micron probe positioners, probe fixtures, RF probes, and anti-vibration tables as core components and accessories.

The business model is hardware-centric, quote-based equipment sales into wafer fabs, packaging and testing plants, IC design companies, display panel manufacturers (LCD/OLED), universities, and national research institutes, supplemented by components, accessories, and professional services. GTM combines direct sales offices in Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing with exclusive channel partners in the UK/Europe/Israel (Micon Global), Italy (Distek), and DACH/Benelux (bsw TestSystems), supported by heavy SEMICON and regional exhibition presence. Over 15 years the company has accumulated 100+ patents, nine software copyrights, 1,000+ customers (including roughly 80% of China's top 100 semiconductor R&D institutions), and designations including National 'Little Giant' enterprise (MIIT, 2022) and Guangdong Province Engineering Technology Research Center (2023). Funding totals exceed RMB 100 million across rounds led by Walden International, Shenzhen Capital Group, and semiconductor-specialist Xingcheng Capital.

Direct peers

• FormFactor: FormFactor is the global market leader in wafer probe stations and probe cards, serving the same semiconductor fab and packaging/testing customers as SEMISHARE with manual, semi-automated, and fully-automated probers — the most direct head-to-head competitor across the product portfolio.
• MPI Corporation: MPI Corporation is a Taiwan-based manufacturer of advanced probe stations, RF/mmW test solutions, and photonics test equipment. It directly competes with SEMISHARE in semi-automated and fully-automated wafer probers, particularly in Asian and emerging testing applications.
• Accretech (Tokyo Seimitsu): Accretech is a Japanese manufacturer of wafer prober systems and semiconductor test equipment used by leading global fabs. It competes with SEMISHARE across manual, semi-automated, and fully-automated probe station categories, with strong presence in advanced node testing.
• Wentworth Laboratories: Wentworth Laboratories (part of FRT/FormFactor group) is a UK-based probe station manufacturer serving European semiconductor R&D customers. It directly competes with SEMISHARE in the European university/lab segment where SEMISHARE is now expanding via channel partners.

Broad incumbents

• Tokyo Electron: Tokyo Electron is a major Japanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer with a Prober Division that supplies wafer probers to fabs globally. While TEL operates across many equipment categories (deposition, etch, lithography support), its probe station business competes directly with SEMISHARE in high-end fab deployments.
• NAURA Technology Group: NAURA is China's largest domestic semiconductor equipment maker with broad product lines across etch, deposition, cleaning, and thermal processing. It is a strategic incumbent in the domestic equipment ecosystem where SEMISHARE competes as a specialized wafer test player.
• Shanghai Micro Electronics Equipment (SMEE): SMEE is a Chinese state-backed semiconductor equipment manufacturer primarily known for lithography but expanding across adjacent equipment categories. As a fellow domestic equipment substitute with national strategic backing, it competes indirectly with SEMISHARE in serving Chinese fabs under localization initiatives.
• ACM Research: ACM Research is a US-listed Chinese semiconductor equipment maker specializing in wafer cleaning, packaging, and advanced packaging tools. It is a comparable Chinese-origin equipment company addressing the same fab customer base with adjacent process equipment, also benefiting from domestic substitution themes.
• Keysight Technologies: Keysight is a global leader in electronic test and measurement instrumentation that interfaces with SEMISHARE's probe stations via partnerships and complementary offerings. Both companies serve electrical characterization/wafer-level testing customers, though Keysight operates at the instrumentation layer above the prober.

Emerging players

• Hprobe: Hprobe is an emerging Hong Kong/Europe-based probe station specialist focused on magnetic and RF testing. It overlaps with SEMISHARE in probe station technology and targets adjacent emerging applications (Hall effect, MRAM, RF devices).
