ACM Research (NASDAQ: ACMR) announced the qualification of its Single-Wafer High-Temperature Sulfuric Peroxide Mixture (SPM) tool by a major logic device manufacturer in China. The company has delivered SPM tools to thirteen customers, featuring a proprietary nozzle design that prevents acid mist splatter and improves system performance.
The tool supports wet etching and wafer cleaning for both front- and back-end processes at 28-nanometer and below technology nodes. It operates at various temperature ranges, from 90°C for sulfuric acid cleaning to 190°C for metal lift-off processes. Key features include a multi-level heating method maintaining temperatures above 230℃ and superior particle control with fewer than 10 particles at 26nm.
The system includes an inline chemical mixing system and can be integrated with ACM's SAPS and TEBO megasonic technologies for enhanced organic contaminant removal.
ACM Research (NASDAQ: ACMR) reported strong financial results for Q4 and FY 2024. Revenue reached $782.1 million for the full year, up 40.2%, with Q4 revenue of $223.5 million, up 31.2% year-over-year. The company achieved a gross margin of 50.1% and operating income of $151.0 million, up 57.6%.
Total shipments in 2024 increased by 63.1% to $973 million. The company achieved process qualification of its Thermal and Plasma-Enhanced ALD furnace tools at two semiconductor customers in mainland China and commenced operations at its Lingang production facility.
For fiscal year 2025, ACM maintains its revenue guidance of $850-950 million and has updated its long-term gross margin target range to 42-48%. Despite being added to the U.S. Entity List, management believes the impact on ACM Research (Shanghai)'s production capabilities will be manageable.

ACM Research (NASDAQ: ACMR) addressed recent U.S. export regulation updates affecting semiconductor operations in China. On December 2, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce's BIS implemented additional controls on exports to China related to advanced IC products and manufacturing equipment. ACM Shanghai and its subsidiaries in China and Korea were added to the Entity List, while ACM and its direct subsidiaries outside mainland China were not affected.
The company believes the impact on their supply chain and ACM Shanghai's production capabilities will be minimal due to alternative sources. While sales outside China should remain unaffected, the impact on PRC customers will depend on their spending plans under the new regulations. ACM plans to release preliminary 2024 results and 2025 revenue outlook in January.
ACM Research (NASDAQ: ACMR) announced the qualification of two key semiconductor manufacturing tools: the Ultra Fn A Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PEALD) Furnace and the Ultra Fn A Thermal Atomic Layer Deposition (Thermal ALD) Furnace. Both tools have achieved process qualification at mainland China semiconductor customers, with the PEALD tool entering mass production.
Both configurations feature a six-unit system capable of batch processing up to 100 300mm wafers, including four loadport systems with oxygen concentration control. The PEALD tool specializes in ultra-thin silicon nitride film deposition, featuring double-layer tube technology for improved uniformity. The Thermal ALD tool focuses on silicon carbon nitride film deposition, offering atomic-level accuracy and enhanced film hardness through precise carbon doping.
