Onto Innovation (ONTO) sells primarily to other companies in the global semiconductor industry.

Based on the company's public filings, Onto Innovation does not disclose the specific names of its major customers. This is because, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of the company's total revenue. This 10% threshold is commonly used in SEC filings to require the individual disclosure of major customers.

Onto Innovation's customer base consists of a limited number of leading companies across various segments of the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. These customer categories include:

• Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs)
• Foundries (companies that manufacture chips for other companies)
• Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) Service Providers

While specific names are not provided by Onto Innovation, its customers are generally the world's largest and most advanced semiconductor manufacturers and service providers operating within these categories.

• AI-Driven Advanced Packaging and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM): Onto Innovation is strategically positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for process control solutions in AI applications. The company has highlighted a significant expansion of its total addressable market (TAM) in the AI era, driven by technologies like 3D hybrid bonding, gate-all-around transistors, and high bandwidth memory (HBM). Its Dragonfly systems are seeing growing demand for AI packaging, which has been a key enabler for this new era of AI, contributing to record quarterly revenue in specialty devices and advanced packaging. New product introductions such as the Dragonfly 3Di technology are crucial, having been qualified by major HBM customers and securing orders for 2.5D logic applications supporting AI packaging.
• Growth in Advanced Nodes, including Gate-All-Around (GAA) Transistors: The adoption of advanced node technologies, particularly gate-all-around (GAA) transistor architecture, is a significant revenue driver. Onto Innovation anticipates continued strength in advanced packaging and the adoption of GAA transistor architecture at several customers to lead its revenue growth in 2025. The company projects its Advanced Node revenue to nearly double in 2025 compared to 2024, driven by demand in advanced logic, DRAM, and NAND markets. Initial shipments of Atlas G6 OCD systems to leading logic and memory customers further underscore this growth.
• Expansion of Inspection Solutions and New Product Launches: Onto Innovation is experiencing record inspection revenue, notably led by its Dragonfly platform, and is on pace to nearly double its inspection revenue for the current calendar year. The company continues to introduce new, advanced metrology and inspection systems, such as the EchoScan™ technology for hybrid bonding interconnect yields, which addresses increasing complexities in AI packaging. These new solutions are designed to meet the evolving and more stringent requirements for yield, device performance, quality, and reliability in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Strategic Acquisitions and Portfolio Expansion: Onto Innovation has actively expanded its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, such as Luna Instruments and the lithography business from KIC and Sofa. These acquisitions are expected to be accretive to earnings within 12 months and are projected to generate up to $100 million in additional annual revenue in the next three years. Furthermore, an agreement to acquire several synergistic product lines from Semilab International, including electrical surface metrology and materials analysis technology, is expected to add over $130 million in annual revenue and be immediately accretive to margins and increase first-year EPS by more than 10%.

Share Repurchases

• In November 2020, Onto Innovation's Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program, replacing a prior authorization, and approximately $52 million worth of shares were repurchased in 2020.
• A new share repurchase authorization of up to $200 million was approved by the Board in February 2024.
• The company engaged in significant share repurchases, including approximately $75 million in Q1 2025, though no shares were repurchased in Q2 and Q3 2025 due to the pending Semilab acquisition.
