PTW aims to be a supplier of choice for semiconductor problem-solving solutions, with technically challenging problems as a core business developed over the last 10 years and a range extending from parts-level problem solving through system reconfiguration and upgrades to customized-tool supply. PTW Group provides Legacy Tool Support and complete refurbishment of tools including reconfiguration, with sustainability presented as a primary goal and refurbishment used to keep tools productive when they no longer meet one fab's needs but can serve another. The company buys used equipment for its refurbishment loop, reworks tools to customer specifications, and offers installation, training, warranty, and continued service. Its spare-parts capabilities include repaired and tested parts, new OEM or carefully selected substitution parts, manufactured replacements for discontinued parts, and a parts-exchange system intended to reduce lead times.

Tailored preventive-maintenance packages cover tools in the portfolio, with engineers working with customers to optimize schedules and maintenance operations based on tool use and needs in order to reduce unscheduled downtime and wafer loss. Supported technologies include EPI with ASM Epsilon; Metrology with Hitachi CD SEM/SEM, FEI SEM, AMAT Semvision, and KLA FX100/200 F5X; Diffusion with ASM A400/412; CMP with AXUS Capstone; WET with SEZ Spin etcher and Semitool Storm, Spectrum, and SST; Electroplating with Semitool Raider; and Coater with SÜSS ACS200, Falcon, and Gamma.
