Overview

ULVAC was established in August 1952 and is headquartered in Chigasaki, Kanagawa. Its name comes from "ultimate vacuum", and its products range from complete deposition systems to the pumps and instruments that create and measure vacuum.

In semiconductors it is known for sputtering systems, which deposit thin metal films by knocking atoms off a target material. Its corporate profile lists a site in Susono, Shizuoka, dedicated to semiconductor production equipment.

Business: Vacuum deposition (sputtering) equipment and vacuum pumps

Why it matters

Vacuum is a basic requirement for most front-end process tools, so ULVAC's components are used beyond its own systems.
Its broad vacuum business spans semiconductors, flat panel displays and batteries.
