NexGen Wafer Systems is a semiconductor equipment manufacturer established in Singapore in 2011. The company specializes in single-wafer wet etching systems, with strengths in high-precision processing performance and flexible customization. Its core technology, which leads the market, lies in the processing of thin and ultra-thin substrates, and its versatile equipment platform enables handling of various substrate types and thicknesses.

Recognizing the potential to leverage its technology in Japan’s power device, MEMS, and advanced packaging sector within the semiconductor market, the company established Nexgen wafer systems Japan LLC in Minato-ku, Tokyo, in February 2025 to pursue equipment development to meet with the demands of Japanese semiconductor companies. Currently, the company is focusing on marketing activities in Japan to understand the needs of Japanese customers and is engaged in new product development with Japanese partners, with plans to install demonstration equipment in Japan.

In expanding its operations in Japan, JETRO’s Invest Japan Business Support Center (IBSC) provided information on the “Subsidy for Projects to Stimulate Direct Investment in Japan,” provided tax-related consultation, and introduced professional service providers. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand into the region with high potential, where its customer base is growing, aiming to further capture demand in the Japanese semiconductor market.
