THE 10 BEST Awards
Discover the top-performing semiconductor equipment suppliers honored by the 10 BEST Awards.
The 10 BEST Awards recognize each chip making equipment supplier, irrespective of their product specialization. Ratings for Fab, Test, Assembly, and WFE Subsystems equipment are amalgamated to provide an encompassing overview of each supplier's performance.
Subsequently, suppliers are categorized based on a three-year average of total revenues across all market segments. This segmentation results in two distinct categories: Large and Focused. Through this comprehensive evaluation process, the 10 BEST awards aim to honor excellence and innovation within the semiconductor equipment industry.
