Modutek Targets Compound Semiconductor Growth via 2025-2026 Showcase Series
The San Jose-based manufacturer is deploying wet process and chemical infrastructure technologies to emerging markets and power electronics fabs.
Modutek Corporation is scaling its international presence through a series of high-profile industry showcases scheduled for 2025 and 2026. The U.S.-based manufacturer is leveraging these events to deploy its wet process and chemical infrastructure technologies to a diversifying global fab landscape.
As part of this expansion, the company participated in Semicon India 2025, held from September 2-4 in New Delhi. Looking ahead, Modutek has scheduled appearances at both SPCC 2026 and CS MANTECH 2026. The company intends to use these platforms to demonstrate its portfolio of manual, semi-automated, and automated wet bench systems, alongside its air fume scrubbers and chemical delivery and waste handling solutions.
The Shift Toward Compound Semiconductors
This strategic push comes as the semiconductor industry experiences a surge in global expansion, particularly within the realms of power electronics and compound semiconductors, such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN). These materials require high-precision, contamination-controlled wet processing that can scale effectively from initial R&D laboratories to high-volume manufacturing environments.
Based in San Jose, California, Modutek brings more than 45 years of experience to this evolving market. By focusing on custom-engineered, in-house manufactured solutions, the company aims to address the inherent inefficiencies often found in off-the-shelf OEM equipment used in high-precision fabrication.
Strategic Market Implications
Modutek's focus on markets like India and the advancement of power electronics reflects a broader industry trend toward diversifying supply chains. By providing localized support and flexible automation, the company seeks to help partners reduce waste and improve throughput while adapting to new fabrication processes.
"At Modutek, we’re focused on enabling our Indian partners with localized support, flexible automation, and cleanroom-ready solutions to reduce waste, improve throughput, and adapt to new processes," said Vineet Shrivastava, CEO of Modutek Corporation.
Future Outlook
As the industry moves toward 2026, the focus will remain on how these precision cleaning and chemical infrastructure technologies integrate into next-generation fabs. While the company has announced its intent to showcase advanced systems at upcoming events, the industry will be watching to see how these solutions specifically accelerate the adoption of wide-bandgap semiconductors in commercial power applications. This expansion underscores a critical need for specialized equipment that can handle the unique chemical requirements of next-generation materials while maintaining the rigorous standards of modern cleanroom environments.
