  Press Releases

  • Fremont, California — September 22, 2025 — Pivotal Systems Corporation, a leader in gas flow solutions that enables AI chip manufacturing, was honored to host YAB Dato’ Onn Hafiz bin Ghazi, the Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of Johor, who is the head of the government in the Malaysian state of Johor, along with his state delegation and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), at its Fremont headquarters. 

    Notable developments for the Malaysian state of Johor includes the current development of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), a strategic initiative aimed at deepening economic cooperation between Johor, Malaysia, and Singapore. The JS-SEZ was designed to leverage the complementary strengths of both regions and aims to promote investment, enhance trade, and create job opportunities.  

    This significant onsite visit underscored Pivotal Systems’ Stage 2 expansion plans and its commitment in Malaysia by having it potentially serve as the one of the new primary locations to further support the expanding demand for next generation semiconductor manufacturing. This supports the long-term government goals under Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030. The state of Johor holds a leading position among the Malaysian states for industrial growth attracting significant foreign direct investment (FDI). Pivotal looks forward to continuing working with the state of Johor to explore the benefits from its strategic location, strong infrastructure, modern transportation, and business-friendly support from its local government.

  • Fremont, California – October 7, 2025 — Pivotal Systems Corporation, a leader in gas flow solutions that enables AI chip manufacturing, released compelling test performance results that establish its GFC-X product as the clear industry benchmark.

    Technical Differentiation: Faster, Smarter, More Reliable

    Against leading competitors for semiconductor manufacturing, the Pivotal GFC-X demonstrates superior technical differentiation across all critical performance metrics:

    • Drift Free High Accuracy and Ultra-High Speed – Pivotal GFC-X enables near-instantaneous gas flow transitions leading to faster cycle times and more efficient wafer processing.
       
    • Super Low Leak-By – Improves process consistency by preventing waste, contamination, and unnecessary valve pressure changes in the system.
       
    • High Productivity and Longer Lifetime – Optimized for durability and proven long-term stability that lowers the overall cost of ownership.
       
    • Built-in Machine Learning + Self-Diagnosis – Embedded machine learning and self-diagnostics allows it to continuously adapt, refine, and self-correct in real-time.

    Economic Advantage for Advanced Nodes

    Pivotal GFC-X differentiators lead to faster production cycles for advanced next-generation nodes with 3x-5x faster response times compared to the closest competitors. The economic benefits for global semiconductor manufacturers are compelling with performance data that indicates:

    • More wafer production output with range of 10%-70% more wafers per hour (wph) at an average of 50% more wph that equates to approximately 10% higher throughput.
       
    • Equivalent to an annual upside of $70.5 million to $493.5 million in added value per machine to chipmakers, at an average annual upside of $352.5 million.

    These examples highlight how Pivotal’s innovation in gas flow control is reshaping the economics of advanced process nodes. As semiconductor nodes scale down to 1.4nm and process windows tighten, differentiation in gas flow control directly defines industry competitiveness. The GFC-X is designed not only to outperform peers, but to deliver a step-change in higher throughput, higher yield, and better cost efficiency for customers. Pivotal Systems is actively working with leading global OEMs and foundries to integrate the GFC-X across a wide range of advanced applications.
