Legacy Tool Management is the process of maintaining, optimising, and extending the lifespan of legacy semiconductor equipments used in matured technology nodes.
It reduces capital costs, ensures continuous production, stabilizes the supply chain, enhances sustainability, and improves tool performance.
Tools that are end-of-life from OEM support, but customers want to extend their lifespan to maximize profitability and maintain production efficiency.
Obsolescence of spare parts, discontinued OEM support, supply chain disruptions, skilled workforce shortages, and process optimization limitations.
Orbit & Skyline offers end-to-end legacy tool solutions, managing over 3,000 tools globally with strong OEM partnerships, a state-of-the-art Center of Excellence, and a highly experienced global semiconductor engineering team.
