Core offering

MATECH designs and manufactures precision chemical delivery, metering, and single-sided wet etching systems for the microfabrication, semiconductor, aerospace/defense, pharmaceutical, and MEMS industries. The company sells two flagship product families: the WaveEtch series of wet etching and wafer thinning tools (using patented LinearScan and Dynamic Confinement technologies) and the Aeris Precision Chemical Delivery and Metering systems (using patented P³ piston-less pumping technology). The company also offers consulting and custom product development services.

Product overview

MATECH is a precision technology company specializing in chemical delivery, metering, and wet etching systems for semiconductor, aerospace, optoelectronics, and MEMS industries. The product portfolio consists of two core families: the WaveEtch single-sided wet etching systems (WaveEtch 456-G2, 212me, 212me2, 112-G) and the Aeris precision chemical delivery and metering systems (Benchtop, Bulk, and S.S. Solvents variants). These systems share patented technologies including LinearScan and Dynamic Confinement for the WaveEtch family, and P3 piston-less pumping for Aeris. Both product families are supported by AerisSoft intelligent control software and offered alongside consulting/product development services. The company holds dozens of patents on its core technologies and serves semiconductor fabs, pharmaceutical, aerospace, and government research clients including NASA and U.S. military branches.
