You Need a Supplier That Can Scale With Your Changing Needs

The cyclical nature of the semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry makes it hard to find a contract manufacturer that can scale with your ever-changing needs. Many of them lack the equipment, capacity and staff to manage large production swings.

It’s also challenging for suppliers to meet the stringent cleanliness and precision requirements of semiconductor manufacturing, especially during fluctuating production demands. 

Leading manufacturers of semiconductor-making equipment require their suppliers to be certified to help ensure the highest levels of quality. Fathom has worked hard to achieve and maintain these certifications for several manufacturers of chip-making equipment.

How Do Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturers Use Fathom?

Unmatched Breadth of Technologies

We offer more advanced manufacturing technologies than any other contract manufacturer. That enables you to get more of their needs met with one supplier.

Rapid Prototyping

We’re organized to manage the rapid prototyping needs of our semiconductor equipment manufacturing customers. Our expert engineers help them quickly test, iterate and finalize their part designs for production.

Product Lifecycle Support

We can support your needs throughout the product development lifecycle – from design and prototyping to production. We specialize in low-volume/high-mix projects, delivered with white-glove support.

Engineering & Design Support

We take a hands-on, white glove approach to DFMs. That helps ensure that all of your potential part design issues are identified and solved early in the process. We’ll help you optimize your part designs for the best results at the best price.

Quality Assurance

Our commitment to in-house inspections enables us to quickly turn around parts, including CMM validation, surface inspections and tensile strength testing. We can also comply with your specific process and workmanship standards.
