Onto Innovation Inc (NYSE: ONTO) is a semiconductor process control equipment company that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells metrology and inspection tools for the semiconductor industry. Revenue comes from equipment sales and support services tied to optical metrology systems, wafer inspection tools, lithography systems, and process control analytical software. Customers include silicon wafer manufacturers, semiconductor integrated circuit fabricators, and advanced packaging manufacturers. The company operates worldwide, with products used across 2D and 3D wafer feature inspection, wafer and panel substrate lithography, and macro defect detection. High switching costs are inherent in semiconductor process control equipment, where tool qualification cycles and process integration create customer retention, though the filing does not provide quantified evidence to characterize moat strength further. Onto Innovation was formed through the 2019 merger of Nanometrics and Rudolph Technologies and is headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts.
