CMTX: "The Only Tier 1 Supplier to TSMC in Korea... Aiming to Lead the Aftermarket"

CMTX (CEO Park Seonghun and Park Jonghwa), a company specializing in the manufacture of silicon (Si) parts for semiconductor etching processes, held an IPO (Initial Public Offering) press conference in Yeouido, Seoul on the 3rd and announced its core competencies and mid- to long-term growth strategies to be pursued after listing.

CMTX manufactures consumable silicon components used in the 'etching process' of semiconductor manufacturing (a process that removes unnecessary parts from wafers). The company supplies rings, electrodes, and other parts that are directly exposed to plasma environments during the etching stage, which forms the micro-circuits on wafers, thereby contributing to process stability and yield improvement.

Since its establishment in 2013, CMTX has expanded its business from ceramic and sapphire parts to silicon parts. Through its subsidiary, Selic, the company has built an integrated production system that directly manufactures monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon ingots and handles processing, cleaning, and inspection. Based on this, CMTX has secured cost competitiveness and quality consistency, and with an annual production capacity of 200 tons of silicon ingots, the company is advancing material internalization and process responsiveness.

Recently, the global semiconductor industry has seen a rapid spread of the aftermarket trend, where companies are bypassing equipment manufacturers and directly transacting with parts suppliers. CMTX is officially registered as the first and only Tier 1 supplier to TSMC among Korean companies, supplying products to their advanced 2-3 nanometer (nm) process lines.

Additionally, CMTX has pioneered and commercialized the world's first 'Si waste parts recycling technology,' presenting a new paradigm in the semiconductor materials industry. While conventional recycling methods faced commercialization limitations due to purity and recovery rate constraints, CMTX has established a system that can endlessly reproduce parts of quality equivalent to new products by combining its proprietary high-purity silicon ingot regeneration technology with precision cleaning processes.

CMTX is offering all 1 million shares as new shares, with the desired public offering price ranging from 51,000 to 60,500 KRW. The demand forecast runs until the 4th of this month, and general investor subscriptions will be accepted on the 10th and 11th. The planned listing date on KOSDAQ is the 20th. The lead underwriter is Mirae Asset Securities.

Park Seonghun, CEO of CMTX, stated, "The technological and quality competitiveness we have secured through full-process vertical integration has been the key driving force behind our company's sustained growth. With this listing, we will further strengthen our capabilities to pioneer new technological fields and rapidly commercialize them, expanding our R&D, production infrastructure, and global network to become a global leader in semiconductor materials and components for the entire process."
