CVD Equipment

What CVD Equipment does

CVD Equipment Corporation, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Central Islip, New York, designs and manufactures customized chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor transport (PVT), and thermal processing equipment used to develop and produce advanced materials. Its product portfolio spans production-scale systems (PVT150/PVT200 for silicon carbide crystal growth, CVI 200/3500 for ceramic matrix composites, MOCVD, PECVD, ALD, HVPE, LPE, RTP/RTA, UHVCVD, cluster tools, reel-to-reel systems, and the new CVD4000 SiC coating reactor), FirstNano research systems (EasyTube 3000EXT, ET6308, ET6000) for nanomaterial synthesis, and consumables such as CVDquartzware. Core proprietary technology includes the Dynamic Hotzone Temperature Control (DHTC) system for SiC boule growth yield and repeatability. The company serves aerospace and defense, high-power electronics (silicon carbide and gallium nitride for EV inverters and AI power semiconductors), EV battery materials, and academic/research customers globally.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales priced on a custom, quote-based basis with multi-year contract terms, supplemented by recurring spare parts and service revenue from the installed base. The company sells through a direct enterprise sales force complemented by a distributor and external sales representative network established in late 2025, and markets via industry conferences (SEMICON West, MRS, Ceramics Expo, The Battery Show, CS MANTECH, etc.), press releases, and the corporate website. Reported FY2025 revenue was $25.8 million across the consolidated business prior to the April 2026 divestiture of its Stainless Design Concepts (SDC) gas and chemical delivery subsidiary to Atlas Copco for $16.9 million, after which the company is operating as a leaner, capital-light process equipment vendor pursuing strategic alternatives.
