• Synertia platform with first design wins
• Medium-term goals adjusted
   

In the sweet spot of digitalization and electrification
Digitalization and electrification are driving progress in industry and society. This is made possible by increasingly powerful microchips, for the production of which Comet's technologies are crucial. At the front-end, the heart of the manufacturing process, Comet's radio-frequency systems enable high-precision control of plasma processes. In semiconductor assembly and testing (back-end), x-ray modules and systems ensure the highest quality and process stability. This provides Comet with a leading position in these markets and numerous catalysts that boost growth.

First design wins for Synertia, significant progress at all strategic levels 
Comet has made progress at all strategic levels. Sales to customers from the fast-growing semiconductor and electronics industries have reached a share of over 70% and are expected to increase to more than 80% in the coming years. The driving forces behind this are the growing market penetration of the Synertia platform in the front-end and new innovative solutions in the back-end processes, i.e., the non-destructive testing of semiconductor and electronic components using x-ray technology.

With the market launch of the first radio-frequency generators from the Synertia power delivery platform, the Plasma Control Technologies (PCT) division has achieved another important milestone. Comet now offers its customers a complete RF power subsystem from its own production, offering the advantage of plasma control with perfectly matched components. Over the last twelve months, the market introduction of Synertia has progressed. PCT has achieved four design wins with customers of various sizes (Tier 1-3).
