About
Sells stand-alone and integrated thin-film deposition process equipment plus services; historically PV-driven (first GW-level PE-TOPCon integrated line), now shifting mix toward IC fabs where High-k dielectric, metal compound and hard-mask ALD/CVD tools passed key-customer qualification and entered volume production in 2025.
Founded 2015
Why it matters
ALD is a chokepoint deposition step in advanced logic, memory and advanced packaging; Leadmicro is the principal domestic ALD supplier displacing ASM International/AMAT/TEL-class tools at Chinese fabs, and was added to the US Entity List in December 2024.
Where it sits in the stack
