SCREEN Holdings
Wafer cleaning leader — dominant single-wafer clean tools
SCREEN Holdings (formerly Dainippon Screen) is the world leader in single-wafer surface cleaning equipment, a step repeated hundreds of times through an advanced process flow to remove particles and residues that would otherwise destroy yield. As AI drives more process steps and tighter defect budgets, cleaning becomes a larger, more critical part of the fab. It is a key second-tier Japanese WFE supplier alongside TEL.
