What IMT does

IMT Co., Ltd. (주)아이엠티, KOSDAQ ticker 451220, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Suwon, South Korea, develops and manufactures dry cleaning equipment for the semiconductor and adjacent advanced manufacturing industries. The company's portfolio is built on two proprietary platforms: laser shock cleaning (LSC) systems, including Mobile Laser Cleaner and Automatic Laser Cleaner models, and CO2 jet cleaning systems, including the MicroJet Cleaner and Automatic CO2 Jet Cleaner. Around these platforms IMT has assembled complementary process solutions, notably EUV mask handling (annealing, baking, cleaning, analysis), HBM wafer cleaning, OLED panel and FMM mask cleaning, Li-Ion battery surface cleaning, and analysis equipment such as a wafer metal contamination analyzer and a chemical analysis automation system.

IMT sells its equipment primarily to enterprise customers in the semiconductor value chain, including integrated device manufacturers, foundries, and equipment makers, with secondary applications in display and battery manufacturing. The company distributes directly through its Suwon headquarters, a wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary in Vietnam (IMT VINA), a Taiwan sales office, and a network of regional channel partners: SUNGSAN US in the United States, Quranus Limited in China, Samac in Japan, The Leader Applied Materials and Scientech in Taiwan, YSCM GLOBAL in Vietnam, and the S3 Alliance network in Germany, the UK, and Italy. Revenue is generated principally through one-time equipment sales (laser and CO2 systems, EUV mask solutions) supplemented by parts cleaning services for semiconductor consumables.

IMT completed its KOSDAQ initial public offering in September 2023, raising approximately KRW 22.78 billion. In 2025 the company achieved two notable commercial validations: selection by SK hynix as a technology innovation partner for semiconductor manufacturing localization, and receipt of the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's next-generation World-Class Product certification for its wafer CO2 cleaning equipment. The company is led by Representative Director (CEO) Choi Jae-sung (최재성) and reports a headcount in the 11–50 range.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Lam Research: US semiconductor equipment leader in deposition, etch, and cleaning modules for memory and logic fabs. Comparable to IMT because cleaning modules (especially dry/Bevel cleaning) are a meaningful share of Lam's revenue and serve the same customer fabs IMT targets with EUV mask and wafer cleaning solutions.
• Tokyo Electron (TEL): Major Japanese semiconductor production equipment maker with a significant cleaning/coater/developer franchise serving memory and logic fabs globally. Comparable to IMT because dry and wet cleaning is a key pillar of TEL's portfolio, although TEL sells the full process tool stack.
• Applied Materials: Large US semiconductor equipment maker offering a broad tool portfolio including planarization, deposition, inspection and select cleaning/implant products. Comparable because competing semiconductor cleaning-adjacent lines (e.g., edge/bevel cleaning) are sold into the same leading-edge fab customers IMT serves.
• NAURA Technology Group: Chinese semiconductor equipment group producing cleaning, etch, deposition, and furnace tools, with strong domestic substitution momentum. Comparable to IMT as a regional equipment competitor with cleaning as a core franchise, particularly relevant given IMT's push into Chinese fabs through its Shanghai partner.
• SCREEN Holdings: Japanese semiconductor equipment manufacturer and global leader in wafer cleaning systems (wet-based). Comparable to IMT because it sells cleaning equipment into the same fab customer base (foundry, memory) and competes for the same cleaning-tool budget, though SCREEN is far larger and more diversified across wet cleaning tools.

Emerging players

• Modutek: Small US manufacturer of wet bench and quartz cleaning equipment for semiconductor, solar, and MEMS fabs. Comparable to IMT as a sub-scale, niche cleaning-equipment specialist competing for parts-cleaning and wafer-cleaning budget inside fabs.
• Lasertec: Japanese specialist in laser-based inspection and EUV photomask inspection equipment. Comparable to IMT in laser-based semiconductor equipment, EUV mask relevance, and small-company-but-high-tech specialization, though Lasertec is materially larger and inspection-focused rather than cleaning-focused.

Direct peers

• ACM Research: US-China listed semiconductor cleaning equipment specialist with a focus on single-wafer wet cleaning, stress-free polishing, and advanced packaging. Most directly comparable to IMT in scale, business model, and customer base (foundry/memory fabs needing cleaning tools).
• Yield Engineering Systems (YES): US-based supplier of process equipment for semiconductor advanced packaging, surface preparation, and cleaning, including vacuum, plasma, and wet cleaning tools. Comparable to IMT as a smaller specialist selling cleaning and surface-prep solutions into similar fab and packaging customers.
