What SCREEN does

SCREEN SPE Tech Co., Ltd. (株式会社SCREEN SPEテック) is a Japanese semiconductor manufacturing equipment supplier headquartered in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd. (株式会社SCREENホールディングス; Tokyo Stock Exchange ticker 7735) within the parent's Rakusai Office campus. Founded in 1983 and employing 101–250 people, the company designs and produces wafer processing equipment for semiconductor fabrication facilities (fabs). Its product portfolio spans the full wafer processing workflow: wafer cleaning (Spin Scrubber SS-3200, Wet Station CW-2000, Spin Processor SU-2000), photoresist coating and development (Coater/Developer SK-60EX/80EX), metrology (Measurement Equipment RE-3500), visual defect inspection (Inspection Equipment ZI-3600), and thermal processing (Lamp Annealing Equipment LA-830).

The equipment is engineered for precision surface preparation, coating, lithography support, inspection, measurement, and thermal treatment of semiconductor wafers, targeting the demanding requirements of advanced-node chip manufacturing. SCREEN SPE Tech complements this primary hardware business with a secondary line for used semiconductor equipment and parts (中古機器・パーツ), offering refurbished machines and components for cost-effective manufacturing solutions. Marketing is supported through a bilingual (Japanese/English) corporate website and participation in semiconductor industry trade shows.

The company sells directly to global semiconductor fabs through the SCREEN Group's established sales, service, and support network, leveraging the parent's brand reputation in the semiconductor equipment industry. Its competitive position rests on proprietary equipment technologies, the SCREEN Holdings affiliation, and the structural switching costs inherent to fab equipment qualification cycles. Pricing, subsidiary revenue, and detailed financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Tokyo Electron: Japan-headquartered semiconductor production equipment manufacturer with overlapping product lines in coater/developer (track), wafer cleaning and advanced thermal processing. TEL is the most directly comparable Japanese rival to SCREEN SPE Tech, competing for many of the same fab customers.
• SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions: Sister subsidiary within SCREEN Holdings and the group's main semiconductor equipment arm. Overlaps closely with SPE Tech in wafer cleaning, coating and related processing tools; comparable size and customer base within the same parent.
• KLA Corporation: Leading supplier of wafer inspection and metrology systems used in semiconductor fabs. KLA's inspection and measurement portfolio directly overlaps with SPE Tech's RE-3500 measurement and ZI-3600 inspection products at major logic and memory manufacturers.
• Hitachi High-Tech: Japanese semiconductor equipment maker with strong inspection and metrology product lines, including CD-SEM and defect review systems. Directly comparable to SPE Tech's inspection and measurement tools and serves many of the same fab customers.

Broad incumbents

• Applied Materials: Largest semiconductor equipment maker globally with broad portfolio spanning deposition, etch, inspection and metrology. Competes with SPE Tech across multiple product categories and serves the same Tier-1 fab customers, but on a vastly larger scale.
• Lam Research: Major U.S.-based semiconductor equipment manufacturer specializing in etch and deposition. Competes with SPE Tech for fab tool budgets and adjacent processing steps, particularly at advanced memory customers.
• ASML: Dominant lithography equipment supplier whose track-side coater/developer ecosystem mirrors the SK-60EX/80EX category SPE Tech competes in. ASML's lithography monopoly gives it unique pull-through influence over coater/developer qualifications.

Emerging players

• Akrion Systems: U.S.-based specialist in semiconductor wet cleaning and surface preparation equipment, including batch immersion and single-wafer cleaning systems. Most directly comparable independent peer to SPE Tech's cleaning equipment portfolio.
• Modutek: U.S.-based supplier of wet bench and wet processing stations for semiconductor and solar manufacturing. Directly comparable to SPE Tech's CW-2000 wet station product in wet chemistry processing applications.

Regional players

• Ulvac: Japanese equipment manufacturer with semiconductor-related offerings in vacuum, deposition and thermal processing. Competes with SPE Tech in Japan-headquartered fabs across Asia, overlapping in thermal and vacuum-related process tools.
