Semiconductor stock jumps 4% after developing ultra-high-precision sapphire cubes and spheres

SYNOPSIS: The article outlines AEIM’s successful in-house manufacturing of high-precision sapphire components for CMM probe sensors, detailing their technical significance, cleanroom production, and how this capability supports future expansion into metrology and machine-tool technologies.

During Tuesday’s morning trading session, shares of one of the leading semiconductor ingot manufacturers surged nearly 4.4 percent on BSE, after the company announced a breakthrough in sapphire component manufacturing.

At 11:58 a.m., shares of Artificial Electronics Intelligent Material Limited were trading in green at Rs. 144.5 on BSE, up by around 2 percent, compared to its previous closing price of Rs. 141.75, with a market cap of Rs. 245 crores. The stock has delivered negative returns of more than 60 percent in one year, and has fallen by nearly 12 percent in the last one month.

What’s the News

According to the latest disclosures filed with the BSE, Artificial Electronics Intelligent Material Limited (AEIM) has achieved a notable technological milestone with the in-house production of metrology-grade sapphire cubes and spheres for Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) probe sensors at its Tamil Nadu facility.

This development positions the company among a limited number of global manufacturers capable of producing such ultra-high-precision sapphire components, which are essential for touch-trigger probes, scanning probes, stylus tips, and other precision sensor assemblies. These parts require advanced single-crystal sapphire machining and sub-micron finishing capabilities.

AEIM’s in-house production capability is expected to support its entry into the global CMM consumables market, enhance vertical integration, reduce reliance on imported components, and provide a technical foundation for future expansion into CMM probe systems and machine tool manufacturing.

All components will be manufactured at the company’s Class 10,000 cleanroom facilities, ensuring adherence to established quality standards and traceability requirements.

This progress strengthens AEIM’s position within the precision technology space and advances its broader roadmap related to high-end metrology systems and machine tools.

Earlier, on 21st November, the company disclosed that it had been allotted 11.28 acres of industrial land by the Nava Raipur Atal Nagar Vikas Pradhikaran (NRDA) in the Kosala Industrial Park, Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh, for setting up its semiconductor materials manufacturing facility.

Construction of the new facility will begin immediately. AEIM plans to use advanced post-tensioned slab technology to accelerate construction timelines, with the first phase targeted for completion by May 2026.

Financials & More

AEIM reported a significant growth in revenue from operations, experiencing a year-on-year increase of around 813 percent, from Rs. 3.6 crores in Q2 FY25 to Rs. 33.05 crores in Q2 FY26. Likewise, the company’s net profit increased during the same period, from Rs. 0.2 crores to Rs. 9.7 crores, reflecting an impressive rise of around 4542 percent YoY.

Artificial Electronics Intelligent Material Limited, formerly known as Datasoft Application Software (India) Limited, is mainly engaged in the business of developing & providing software consultancy services.

During the first quarter of FY25, the company’s operations were limited to software development; however, following a change in its business objectives, it subsequently undertook job work involving sapphire ingots and wafers, silicon carbide ingots and wafers, and silicon ingots and wafers.
