LAYERS 9 – Going Big in Japan
Japan remains a strategically important market for semiconductor and photonics equipment, characterized by high expectations for product reliability, detailed technical validation, and long‑term partnerships. To support customers more effectively, Evatec continues to expand its local organization and deepen its engagement in the Japanese market.
Since the establishment of Evatec Japan, the focus has been on building a flexible and agile team capable of supporting customers throughout the entire equipment lifecycle. This includes sales, installation, daily service support, upgrades, and administrative processes such as order handling and finance. Close collaboration with Evatec headquarters and other global teams plays a key role, enabling local engineers to draw on shared expertise and resources when supporting customer projects.
The Japanese market places strong emphasis on detailed alignment between equipment suppliers and customers. Technical discussions often require thorough confirmation of specifications, process conditions, and underlying design decisions. Evatec Japan acts as a bridge between customers and development teams in Switzerland, supporting this alignment and ensuring that solutions meet exact local requirements.
From a market perspective, Advanced Packaging represents a significant growth opportunity in Japan. New chiplet architectures, materials, and packaging concepts are increasing demand for advanced deposition technologies at wafer and panel level. At the same time, the rise of AI applications is driving demand for more advanced power devices, while emerging applications such as augmented reality increase interest in optoelectronics. Evatec’s experience in controlling electrical and optical thin film properties, managing stress and heat dissipation, and enabling three dimensional structures positions the company well to support these developments.
As Evatec consolidates its activities in Japan under a single local organization, customers benefit from simplified communication, direct access to global expertise, and consistent service support across markets. This integrated approach strengthens Evatec’s ability to grow its business in Japan while meeting the high standards expected by local customers.
