AXT, Inc. is a materials science company that develops and produces high-performance compound and single-element semiconductor substrates, also known as wafers, which are used when silicon substrates cannot meet performance requirements. Its primary products include indium phosphide (InP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and germanium (Ge) wafers, serving applications in telecommunications, data centers, LEDs, lasers, and solar cells. The company also sells raw materials integral to these substrates, such as purified gallium and pyrolytic boron nitride (pBN) crucibles. All manufacturing operations are conducted in China, leveraging favorable costs for facilities and labor, supported by a vertically integrated supply chain of partially owned raw material companies. A significant portion of AXT's revenue is derived from international sales, with approximately 98% of revenue generated from customers outside North America in 2025.

Revenue is driven by the sale of specialty material substrates (InP, GaAs, Ge) and raw materials integral to these substrates. Demand is influenced by growth in applications such as 5G, data centers, AI, LEDs, and industrial lasers.
