About ASM International
ASM International makes the machines that deposit very thin films onto silicon wafers during chip manufacturing. It is best known for atomic layer deposition, which builds a film one atomic layer at a time for precise thickness control, and for epitaxy, which grows a crystalline silicon layer on a wafer.

Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
