半导体设备制造商MKS仪器Inc周四表示，将收购特种化学品集团Atotech投资约51亿元，以扩大晶片制造能力。
根据路透计算，这笔现金加股票的交易包括每股16.20美元现金和0.0552股MKS普通股，或每股价值约26美元。MKS的市值约为100亿美元，将通过现金和债务融资为此次收购提供资金。
该交易达成之际，芯片行业正在应对全球半导体短缺的问题，这已导致一些汽车生产线关闭，其影响也波及到包括消费电子产品在内的其他领域。
由凯雷投资集团(Carlyle Group Inc .)投资的Atotech于2月首次在美国公开市场上市，发行价为每股17美元。该公司生产用于智能手机、家电和重型机械的印刷电路板和半导体的化学品和设备。
MKS在输给总部位于柏林的阿托泰克(Atotech)后，与阿托泰克进行了接洽族化合物公司在今年2月对激光制造商相干公司的竞购战中。
“我们希望参与到先进电子产品的所有利润池中。MKS首席执行官John Lee在接受采访时表示:“与阿托泰克合作并拥有规模，将使我们在低迷时期更强大地为客户提供研发服务。”
据MKS称，该交易预计将在今年第四季度前完成，将带来更多的经常性收入来源，并通过添加安特克的电镀化学品，扩大MKS在芯片制造领域的产品，特别是在广泛用于智能手机、笔记本电脑和汽车的刚性电路板上。
Perella Weinberg Partners担任MKS的财务顾问瑞士信贷(Credit Suisse)是阿托泰克的财务顾问。

<\/figure>By Akanksha Rana and Krystal Hu<\/strong>Semiconductor equipment<\/a> maker MKS Instruments<\/a> Inc said on Thursday it will buy specialty chemicals group Atotech<\/a> Ltd for about $5.1 billion to expand its chip manufacturing capabilities.
The cash-and-stock deal includes $16.20 in cash and 0.0552 of a share of MKS common stock for each Atotech share, or a per share value of about $26, according to Reuters calculations. MKS, which has a market capitalization of about $10 billion, will fund the acquisition through cash and debt financing.
<\/div><\/div>The offer represents a premium of about 10% to Atotech's closing price on June 10, when Reuters reported MKS had approached Atotech with an acquisition offer.
The deal comes at a time the chip industry has been dealing with a global shortage of semiconductors that has shuttered some auto production lines and its impact has been felt in other areas, including consumer electronics.
Atotech, backed by buyout firm Carlyle Group Inc, made its U.S. public market debut in February at $17 per share. The company makes chemicals and equipment for printed circuit boards and semiconductors that are used in smartphones, appliances and heavy machinery.
MKS approached Berlin-headquartered Atotech after it lost out to II-VI Inc<\/a> in a bidding war for laser maker Coherent Inc in February.
\"We want to participate in all the profit pools for advanced electronics. Partnering with Atotech and having the scale is going to allow us being stronger in committing R&D to our customers throughout downturns,\" MKS Chief Executive John Lee said in an interview.
The deal, expected to close by the fourth quarter of this year, will bring more recurring revenue streams and expand MKS' offerings in chip manufacturing through the addition of Atotech's plating chemicals, especially on rigid circuit boards that are widely used on smartphones, laptops and cars, according to MKS.
