Camtek is the pure-play HBM bump-inspection franchise — a small-cap with the cleanest single-thesis HBM-cycle exposure in the equipment cohort, the post-Q1 -7% sell-off creates an entry, and the H2 26 ramp guided at >25% above H1 is the cleanest forward-visibility in the small-cap space. Camtek makes optical-inspection tools that examine the µbumps (microscopic solder bumps, typically 25-40µm in diameter) and the through-silicon-via openings on HBM die wafers and on the underlying logic + interposer wafers before, during, and after the stacking process. The flagship product is the **Eagle G6** automated optical inspection platform (and the newer **Eagle XT** variant) — a multi-camera, multi-illumination optical inspection tool that scans 300mm wafers at high throughput looking for bump-height anomalies, bump-coplanarity defects, via-opening blockages, residue contamination, and any defect that would cause a TC-bonded HBM stack to fail mechanically or electrically.…
