What International Test Solutions does

International Test Solutions (ITS) is a Reno, Nevada-based supplier of highly engineered cleaning materials serving the semiconductor industry, founded in 1999. The company's core offering is its Advanced Cleaning Materials (ACM) portfolio, which targets contamination and particle buildup on semiconductor capital equipment — specifically probe tips and wafer chucks — where defectivity and unplanned downtime directly erode yield and production economics. ITS's flagship products are Probe Card Clean (PCC), engineered films and wafers designed to clean and condition probe tips (improving parametric test data quality and extending probe card lifetime), and Chuck Cleaning Wafer (CCW), wafers with spin-coated engineered polymers designed to clean wafer chucks and reduce tool downtime. The underlying technology is application-specific materials engineering: proprietary film constructions and polymer chemistries are tailored to each successive semiconductor technology node and to distinct process environments, requiring ongoing R&D investment rather than commodity manufacturing.

ITS's commercial posture has become increasingly integrated with Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTG), whose legal entity and global distribution infrastructure now carry the ACM product line. ITS serves front-end, wafer test, and back-end (advanced packaging) semiconductor manufacturers through an enterprise field sales motion, supported by an online product catalog, downloadable technical brochures, and industry-focused resource content. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of consumable cleaning materials, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company employs 101-250 people and targets horizontal customer segments across the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem, where qualified-in incumbency at fabs and OSATs drives recurring consumption.

Emerging players

• FormFactor: FormFactor is a leading probe card manufacturer whose cards use ITS' Probe Card Clean consumables. While not a direct cleaning-materials competitor, it is a tightly coupled customer/ecosystem partner in the probe-tip cleaning value chain.
• JSR Corporation: JSR supplies photoresists, advanced electronic materials, and is expanding its semiconductor cleaning portfolio. It competes with ITS in fab consumables and is investing aggressively in advanced node chemistries.

Direct peers

• Fujimi Incorporated: Fujimi supplies polishing slurries and cleaning formulations to semiconductor wafer fabs globally. Its engineered consumables portfolio directly overlaps ITS' wafer-surface cleaning products used in front-end semiconductor manufacturing.
• CMC Materials (Cabot Microelectronics, now CMC): Cabot Microelectronics manufactures CMP slurries and post-CMP cleaning solutions for semiconductor manufacturers. Its engineered consumables compete with ITS' ACM portfolio in wafer-surface cleaning applications.
• Versum Materials (EMD Electronics, Merck KGaA): EMD Electronics, the electronic materials arm of Merck KGaA (formerly Versum Materials), supplies wet process chemicals and cleaning formulations for semiconductor fabs. It competes head-on with ITS in post-CMP cleans, post-etch cleans, and engineered cleaning consumables across front-end and advanced packaging.

Broad incumbents

• Shin-Etsu Chemical: Shin-Etsu is a leading supplier of silicon wafers, photoresists, and rare-earth magnets. While not a direct cleaning specialist, it is a major semiconductor materials incumbent with overlap in fab consumables adjacent to ITS' ACM products.
• Resonac Holdings (formerly Showa Denko / Hitachi Chemical): Resonac supplies semiconductor materials including CMP slurries, cleaning chemistries, and packaging materials. Its portfolio overlaps with ITS' cleaning consumables while serving a broader semiconductor materials footprint.
• Entegris (ENTG): Entegris is a major semiconductor materials and equipment supplier that sells ITS' ACM products through its catalog and also offers competing cleaning chemistries such as PlanarClean and TitanKlean. Overlap with ITS exists in wafer cleaning consumables, while Entegris spans the broader contamination-control value chain.
• BASF Electronic Materials: BASF's electronic materials division supplies specialty chemicals for semiconductor manufacturing including cleans and etchants. It is a broad incumbent chemical supplier with product overlap with ITS' cleaning consumables.
• DuPont Electronics & Industrial: DuPont's electronics business supplies specialty chemicals, photoresists, and cleaning materials used in semiconductor manufacturing. It is a broad incumbent with overlapping but not specialized offerings versus ITS' probe tip and chuck cleaning wafers.
