SHKS Semiconductor Technology Group is a leading international ion implanter manufacturer. Customers all over the world have purchased more than 1000 ion implanters from SHKS.
It owns the original design and developed technologies and products of ion implanters for integrated circuit chips that exceed 7nm technology. Some core indicators exceed similar foreign products and its ion implanters are primarily applied in PV, OLED, and semiconductor fields.
SHKS is one of the few ion implanter manufacturers in the world and one of the core suppliers of localized replacement of ion implanter equipment.
At present, there are only 5 companies producing ion implanters in the world, including Applied Materials, Axcelis, Taiwan AIBT, SHKS, and BJZKX.
In terms of integrated circuit ion implanters, the current equipment localization rate is relatively low, benefiting from the expansion of the fab and the improvement of the process, the domestic replacement market is broad. On December 1, 2020, SHKS sold three 12-inch ion implanters to Xincheng Technology (Shaoxing) for a total transaction amount of RMB 100 million. This is an important step for the SHKS ion implanter to be recognized by commercial customers and successfully obtained commercial orders. According to industry insiders, a logic chip production line with a monthly output of 10,000 pieces requires the purchase of 13-15 ion implanters. With the gradual implementation of China's fab expansion plan, the sales of SHKS ion implanters will further increase.
In terms of photovoltaic ion implanters, the company's announcement shows that the total global sales of photovoltaic ion implanters in 2017 were 17 units, and the company sold 15 units, ranking first in the global market. High-efficiency, low-cost and customized photovoltaic ion implanters are the advantages of SHKS. In the future, SHKS is expected to continue to maintain and expand its leading position in the photovoltaic field. It is reported that the company's latest generation product Ipv-6000 photovoltaic ion implanter has signed a trial order with a leading company in the photovoltaic industry.
