Recent Company History

Over the last six months, Camtek’s news flow has focused on financing, earnings, and investor communications. Two September 2025 private offerings of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 coincided with positive price reactions. By contrast, record Q3 2025 earnings on Nov 10, 2025 and earnings date notices on Oct 30, 2025 and Feb 2, 2026 saw shares trade lower the next day. Against this backdrop, the new $25M Hawk AI order extends the company’s AI-related growth narrative highlighted in recent regulatory filings.

Key Terms

idm, high bandwidth memory, chiplets, hybrid bonding, +2 more

6 terms

idm technical

"received a $25 million Hawk systems order from a tier-1 IDM for AI applications"

An IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturer) is a company that both designs and physically builds its own semiconductor chips rather than outsourcing production. For investors, that matters because owning the whole process can mean tighter control over quality, supply and profit margins, but also requires heavy spending on factories and equipment—like a furniture maker who both crafts designs and runs the workshop versus one that only sells third‑party pieces.

high bandwidth memory technical

"applications, including High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), chiplets, hybrid bonding"

High bandwidth memory (HBM) is a type of computer memory built by stacking chips vertically and placing them very close to a processor so large amounts of data can move much faster and use less power than with traditional memory. For investors, HBM matters because it can noticeably raise the speed and efficiency of data-center, AI and graphics products, influencing a maker’s competitiveness, product value, production cost and market demand—similar to a faster highway letting more trucks deliver goods per hour.

chiplets technical

"including High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), chiplets, hybrid bonding, FE applications"

Small, individual semiconductor components that are manufactured separately and then combined into a single package to perform the function of a larger chip. Like using Lego bricks instead of carving one big block, chiplets let designers mix and match proven parts to reduce cost, shorten development time, improve manufacturing yields and enable upgrades; investors watch them because they can lower production risk, boost product competitiveness and affect profit margins across the semiconductor supply chain.

hybrid bonding technical

"including High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), chiplets, hybrid bonding, FE applications"

Hybrid bonding is a chip-assembly method that joins two silicon pieces face-to-face using very small metal and insulating connections, creating many tiny direct electrical links instead of relying on larger external wires. For investors, it matters because it lets device makers build smaller, faster and more energy-efficient processors and memory stacks, potentially improving product performance, reducing manufacturing costs, and creating competitive advantages along the semiconductor supply chain.

micro-bumps technical

"FE applications and wafers with up to 500 million micro-bumps."

Micro-bumps are very small, short-lived upward moves in a stock’s price, guidance or reported metrics—like tiny ripples on a pond rather than a big wave. For investors they matter because a string of micro-bumps can signal building momentum, minor positive news or steady operational improvement, and can influence short-term trading, sentiment and valuation even though each individual bump may not indicate a lasting trend.

metrology technical

"breakthrough inspection and metrology system designed for the most demanding"

Metrology is the science and practice of making measurements accurate, consistent and traceable so numbers about size, weight, temperature or other properties mean the same thing everywhere. For investors it matters because reliable measurement underpins product quality, regulatory compliance and manufacturing efficiency—like using a well-calibrated ruler so every part fits—reducing recalls, legal risk and wasted costs that can affect a company’s earnings and reputation.
