About ATMI

Innovative materials. Precise solutions. Reliable expertise.
At ATMI, we've made our name by inventing hundreds of materials and materials packaging products that help the world's leading chipmakers and flat panel manufacturers be more efficient, more productive, and more cost-effective.

But products are just where we get started.  We're experts in creating materials that optimize manufacturing processes for these industries.  We work closely with our customers to create solutions targeted to their particular needs, as well as with OEM and other partners to address industry changes and trends, such as the semiconductor transition from aluminum to copper.

Business and technology cycles are accelerating—success in any industry requires continual adaptation to change.  ATMI experts constantly introduce new and unique materials, packaging, and processes as we solve problems for customers and partners.  These solutions increase yields, speed new products to market, reduce capital expenditures and costs of ownership, and mitigate risks.

ATMI then and now
In 1986, five entrepreneurs founded ATMI as Advanced Technology Materials, Inc., to define the materials future of the semiconductor industry.  At the time, they created a company focused on semiconductor materials for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes.

Today, ATMI makes materials and materials packaging for semiconductor and flat panel manufacturers around the world—we have nearly 700 employees in more than a dozen facilities in the United States, Europe, and Asia.  Headquartered in Danbury, CT, ATMI went public in 1993, and now trades on the Nasdaq National Markets as "ATMI."

ATMI & SEMICON West 2005
Since our founding, ATMI has won regular acclaim for our innovation and growth.

Most recently, we have been included in the Technology Innovation Showcase at SEMICON West 2005 for the ProE-Vap^TM system, our newly designed dopant delivery system that vaporizes solid precursors.  The ProE-Vap^TM system offers our customers a dramatic decrease in cost of ownership by increasing materials choice and wafer yield, while decreasing cost per wafer and tool downtime.
