Semiconductor equipment,
built to your print.
We build and integrate capital equipment, modules and sub-assemblies for semiconductor and display OEMs, from first prototype to volume production.
Your manufacturing partner for semiconductor capital equipment.
For more than 40 years, Applied Engineering has built complex electromechanical systems for semiconductor and display equipment makers: front-end and back-end process tools, wafer handling and automation platforms, inspection and metrology systems.
We build to your print, in clean rooms, under an audited quality system. Programs start with our NPI team in San Jose and scale to volume, in San Jose or in Penang with the same tools, ERP and processes.
From sub-assemblies to complete tools
Full turnkey systems, modules, FRUs and sub-assemblies.
Process tool modules
Front-end vacuum, CVD and atmospheric process equipment.
Wafer handling and automation
200mm and 300mm automation platforms and high-precision stages.
Clean room assembly

Questions about semiconductor equipment manufacturing
What semiconductor equipment do you build?
Front-end and back-end process tools, wafer handling and automation platforms, inspection and metrology systems, e-beam column assemblies, precision stages and heat exchangers, from turnkey tools to FRUs and sub-assemblies.
Do you build to print?
Yes. We build to your drawings and BOM, and our engineers review the design for manufacturability, cost and scale before production.
Do you have clean rooms?
Yes. Our San Jose facility has clean rooms from Class 10,000 to Class 100 for semiconductor assembly.
Can you support NPI and first article?
Yes. Our NPI team covers documentation control, supply chain, manufacturing engineering and program management, from prototype and first article to production.
Can you handle volume production?
Yes. We ramp programs in San Jose, and high-volume programs can move to our Penang, Malaysia facility with the same tools, ERP, processes and document control.
Do you manage the supply chain?
Yes. We source and procure every BOM line, with documentation control and full traceability.
Where are you located?
Our headquarters is in San Jose, California, in Silicon Valley. We also manufacture in Batu Kawan, Penang, Malaysia.
