What Entrepix does
Entrepix is a Phoenix, Arizona-based specialty semiconductor equipment and services company founded in 1998 that focuses on chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and post-CMP wafer cleaning. The company operates as the OEM for the OnTrak DSS-200 double-sided wafer cleaner and as an aftermarket service, parts, and refurbishment provider for legacy Applied Materials Mirra and Reflexion CMP systems, IPEC 472 polishers, and Strasbaugh platforms. It also maintains an ISO 9001:2015 certified CMP foundry that has processed more than one million wafers, an Advanced Fabrication Center (AS9100D certified, ITAR registered) for precision CNC machining and contract manufacturing, a 3D printing/additive manufacturing operation, and a field service organization for on-site installation, maintenance, and process applications support.
The company makes money through six revenue streams: (1) capital equipment sales of new, refurbished, and remanufactured CMP tools, (2) replacement parts and spare components including obsolete parts for legacy systems sold through direct sales and a Shopify e-commerce storefront, (3) engineered upgrades (motor drives, control systems, Hastelloy spin carriages, gimbal flexures) sold as drop-in improvements over OEM components, (4) CMP foundry services for process development, prototyping, and pilot production, (5) CNC machining and contract manufacturing for aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and turbine customers, and (6) field service and maintenance contracts offered on time-based or block-hour terms. Pricing for capital equipment follows a milestone payment schedule (70% ARO, 20% prior to shipment, 10% post-acceptance), while parts and service operate on Net 30 terms with a $100 minimum order value.
Since January 2023, Entrepix has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Amtech Systems (NASDAQ: ASYS), acquired for $35 million, and is sold alongside sister Amtech companies including PR Hoffman (consumables) and Intersurface Dynamics (cleaning chemistry) for cross-sell. Customers are diversified across IDMs, OEMs, fabless and fab-light semiconductor companies, MEMS and nanotechnology developers, and aerospace and defense contractors (including SpaceX and Raytheon). Since the Amtech acquisition, Entrepix has expanded its direct footprint and signed exclusive sales representative agreements covering France (Eumetrys, November 2025), the UK and Nordic region (Legatech, December 2025), and the Eastern U.S./Eastern Canada (CWI Technical Sales, May 2026).

Entrepix competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Applied Materials: Applied Materials is the OEM of the Mirra and Reflexion CMP platforms that Entrepix services, refurbishes, and develops aftermarket upgrades for, making it both Entrepix's primary supplier ecosystem anchor and its most direct competitive threat in new CMP systems.
- Proto Labs: Proto Labs provides rapid CNC machining and prototyping services to aerospace, defense, and commercial customers, overlapping with Entrepix's Advanced Fabrication Center CNC and contract-manufacturing line for names like SpaceX and Raytheon.
- SCREEN Holdings: SCREEN manufactures semiconductor wafer cleaning systems (including post-CMP cleaners) that directly compete with Entrepix's OnTrak DSS-200 OEM product in semiconductor fabs worldwide.
Emerging players
- Onto Innovation: Onto Innovation provides semiconductor metrology and inspection equipment used to qualify CMP processes; complementary rather than directly competitive, but addressing the same fabs that consume Entrepix's CMP tooling and services.
- Bruker Nano Surfaces: Bruker supplies metrology and surface-inspection instruments (including profilometers used in CMP process control) that are complementary to Entrepix's CMP equipment and foundry characterization services for advanced substrates.
- Fujimi Incorporated: Fujimi is a specialty manufacturer of CMP slurries and polishing materials; relevant because Entrepix's CMP foundry performs consumables screening and qualification that directly evaluates products like Fujimi's for fab customers.
Broad incumbents
- Tokyo Electron: Tokyo Electron is a major semiconductor equipment manufacturer with CMP and cleaning systems in its portfolio, serving as a broad incumbent competing across the same wafer-processing end markets Entrepix targets with foundry services.
- Lam Research: Lam Research is a major semiconductor capital equipment manufacturer whose installed base and service/parts business overlaps with Entrepix's aftermarket model, even though its core products are deposition and etch rather than CMP.
- Merck KGaA (Versum Materials) Performance Materials: Merck KGaA's Performance Materials / Versum business supplies CMP slurries and electronic materials to semiconductor fabs, adjacent to Entrepix's CMP process development and foundry services where consumables qualification is a key offering.
- Entegris (CMC Materials): Entegris (which acquired CMC Materials, formerly Cabot Microelectronics) supplies CMP slurries and pads that complement Entrepix's CMP equipment and foundry, while also offering related cleaning chemistries through its Liquid Filtration and Advanced Materials businesses.
