Company snapshot — ASM International NV

ASM.AS in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelook stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
ASM International builds the deposition and other wafer-processing tools that add material layers onto silicon during chip manufacturing. Its systems cover atomic layer deposition, epitaxy, plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition and vertical furnace processing, plus tools for silicon carbide and compound-semiconductor work. Customers are chip manufacturers who need these steps repeated many times across a wafer. The company is based in Almere, the Netherlands.
Where it sits in the stack
In our index, ASM International sits in Layer 2, Fabrication, within the Deposition, Etch & Process sleeve — the equipment fabs order to build up chip layers step by step. It is a constraint on how fast a fab can add capacity, since each new process node or memory stack needs more deposition passes than the one before.
Who it is priced against
Closelook's peer group places it among semiconductor equipment leaders, alongside ASML, Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA and Tokyo Electron, the names the market prices it against rather than just its sector.
Why Closelook tracks it
It holds a seat in our Rubin Build-Out 100 and in the Euro-AI 50. It carries a Closelook score, with the balance-sheet-adjacent quality module reading strongest and the valuation module weakest.
What the diary watches
Whether deposition step-counts keep rising as chipmakers add more layers per wafer, which would show up first in order intensity for this equipment.

ASM International NV (ASM.AS) trades on the AS exchange in Netherlands, classified under Technology, and sits in Layer 2 of the build-out stack. Constituent of Rubin Build-Out 100 and Euro-AI 50.
