Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the footnotes. (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned, controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2016 have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, the realizable value of inventories, valuing stock-based compensation instruments and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. (c) Foreign Currency The functional currency for substantially all operations outside the United States is the local currency. Financial statements for these operations are translated into United States dollars at year‑end rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the year as to revenue and expenses. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company had $0.6 million in foreign exchange losses. For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company did not have any material foreign exchange gains or losses. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company realized $1.8 million of foreign exchange gains. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market securities and certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents are carried on the balance sheet at fair market value. (e) Inventories Inventories are carried at lower of cost, determined using the first‑in, first‑out (“FIFO”) method, or market. The Company periodically reviews its inventories and makes provisions as necessary for estimated obsolescence or damaged goods to ensure values approximate lower of cost or market. The amount of such markdowns is equal to the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands, selling prices, and market conditions. The Company records an allowance for estimated excess inventory. The allowance is determined using management’s assumptions of materials usage, based on estimates of demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions become less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write‑downs may be required. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recorded using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Asset Classification Estimated Useful Life Land and buildings (under lease) Lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years On January 30, 2015, the Company sold its corporate headquarters facility. As part of this sale, the Company also entered into a 22-year lease agreement. The Company accounted for the sale leaseback transaction as a financing arrangement for financial reporting purposes. The Company retained the historical costs of the property and the related accumulated depreciation on its financial books within property, plant and equipment and will continue to depreciate the property for financial reporting purposes over the lesser of its remaining useful life or its initial lease term of 22 years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. (g) Impairment of Long‑Lived Assets The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that these assets might not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the assets’ carrying amount to their expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value. The Company did not have any indicators of impairment during the period ending December 31, 2016. The Company did not record an impairment charge in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, or 2014. Actual performance could be materially different from our current forecasts, which could impact estimates of undiscounted cash flows and may result in the impairment of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets in the future. This could be caused by strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material adverse change in the Company’s relationships with significant customers. (h) Concentration of Risk and Off‑Balance Sheet Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash equivalents are principally maintained in an investment grade money‑market fund or certificates of deposit. The Company has no significant off‑balance‑sheet risk such as exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements. The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to cash equivalents. The primary objective of the Company’s investment activities is to preserve principal without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in marketable high investment grade securities. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its investment portfolio and does not expect operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by any change in market interest rates. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. For selected overseas sales, the Company requires customers to obtain letters of credit before product is shipped. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. The Company does not have any off‑balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s customers consist of semiconductor chip manufacturers located throughout the world and net sales to its ten largest customers accounted for 70.2%, 76.8% and 68.1% of revenue in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had one customer representing 17.0% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had two customers representing 29.3% and 10.5% of total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 2014 the Company had two customers representing 17.4% and 12.3% of total revenue, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had four customers account for 22.0%, 12.3%, 12.0% and 10.6% of consolidated accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had three customers account for 22.9%, 12.7% and 11.6% of consolidated accounts receivable, respectively. Some of the components and sub‑assemblies included in the Company’s products are obtained either from a sole source or a limited group of suppliers. Disruption to the Company’s supply source, resulting either from economic conditions or other factors, could affect its ability to deliver products to its customers. (i) Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue recognition policy involves significant judgment by management. The Company considers a broad array of facts and circumstances in determining when to recognize revenue, including contractual obligations to the customer, the complexity of the customer’s post‑delivery acceptance provisions, payment history, customer creditworthiness and the installation process. The Company’s system sales transactions are made up of multiple elements, including the system itself and elements that are not delivered simultaneously with the system. These undelivered elements might include a combination of installation services, extended warranty and support and spare parts, all of which are covered generally by a single sales price. The Company’s system revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if specified criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand‑alone value to the customer. If the criteria are met, then the consideration received is allocated among the separate units based on their relative selling price, and the revenue is recognized separately for each of the separate units. The Company determines selling price for each unit of accounting (element) using vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) or third‑party evidence (TPE), if they exist, otherwise, the Company uses best estimated selling price (BESP). The Company generally expects that it will not be able to establish TPE due to the nature of its products, and, as such, the Company typically will determine selling price using VSOE or BESP. Where required, the Company determines BESP for an individual element based on consideration of both market and Company‑specific factors, including the selling price and profit margin for similar products, the cost to produce the deliverable and the anticipated margin on that deliverable and the characteristics of the markets in which the deliverable is sold. Systems are not sold separately and VSOE or TPE is not available for the systems element. Therefore the selling price associated with systems is based on BESP. The allocated value for installation in the arrangement includes either (i) the relative selling price of the installation or (ii) the portion of the sales price that will not be received until the installation is completed (the “retention”). The selling price of elements such as extended warranty for support, spare parts and support labor is also based on BESP. For the majority of regions, the selling price of installation is based upon the fair value of the service performed, including labor, which is based upon the estimated time to complete the installation at hourly rates, and material components, both of which are sold separately, or VSOE. In regions where VSOE does not exist the Company uses BESP. Product revenue for products which have demonstrated market acceptance, is generally recognized upon shipment provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, evidence of an arrangement exists, prices are contractually fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured through historical collection results and regular credit evaluations, and there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance. Revenue from installation services is recognized at the time acceptance has occurred, as defined in the sales documentation or, for certain customers, when both acceptance has occurred and retention payment has been received. Revenue for other elements is recognized at the time products are shipped or the related services are performed. The Company generally recognizes revenue for systems which have demonstrated market acceptance at the time of shipment because the customer’s post‑delivery acceptance provisions and installation process have been established to be routine, commercially inconsequential and perfunctory. The Company believes the risk of failure to complete a system installation is remote. For initial shipments of systems with new technologies or in the small number of instances where the Company is unsure of meeting the customer’s specifications or obtaining customer acceptance upon shipment of the system, it will defer the recognition of systems revenue and related costs until written customer acceptance of the system is obtained. This deferral period is generally within twelve months of shipment. Revenue related to maintenance and service contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts, or based on parts usage, where appropriate. Revenue related to service hours is recognized when the services are performed. Product revenue includes revenue from system sales, sales of spare parts, the spare parts component of maintenance and service contracts and product upgrades. Services revenue includes the labor component of maintenance and service contract amounts charged for on‑site service personnel. Axcelis reports revenue net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. (j) Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue. (k) Stock‑Based Compensation The Company generally recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, based on the grant‑date fair value of those stock‑based payments using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model, adjusted for expected forfeitures. Other valuation models may be utilized in the limited circumstances where awards with market-based vesting considerations, such as the price of the Company’s common stock, or performance based awards, are granted. Stock‑based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. For each stock option grant with vesting based on a combination of time, market or performance conditions, where vesting will occur if either condition is met, the related compensation costs are recognized over the shorter of the explicit service period or the derived service period. See Note 14 for additional information relating to stock‑based compensation. (l) Income Taxes The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company’s consolidated financial statements contain certain deferred tax assets which have arisen primarily as a result of operating losses, as well as other temporary differences between financial and tax accounting. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets is reduced based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against those net deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates the weight of all available evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Income taxes include the largest amount of tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. Settlements with tax authorities, the expiration of statutes of limitations for particular tax positions, or obtaining new information on particular tax positions may cause a change to the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. (m) Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted‑average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014, and has excluded 1,165,855 of incremental shares attributable to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units from the calculation of net loss per share because the effect would have been anti‑dilutive. The components of net income (loss) per share are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 (in thousands, except per share data) Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ $ $ Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic income (loss) per share Incremental options and RSUs — Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share Net income (loss) per share Basic $ $ $ Diluted $ $ $ (n) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income The following table presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, by component for the year ended December 31, 2016: Foreign Defined benefit currency pension plan Total (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ $ $ Other comprehensive loss and pension reclassification Balance at December 31, 2016 $ $ $ (o) Recent Accounting Guidance Accounting Standards or Updates Recently Adopted In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The amendments in this ASU require entities that present classified statements of financial position to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent. They apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 early, effective June 30, 2016, on a prospective basis. As a result, the Company presented all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, reducing current deferred tax assets by $0.2 million, long-term deferred tax assets by $0.3 million and short-term deferred tax liabilities by $0.5 million. The current deferred tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, have not been reclassified. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 introduces an explicit requirement for management to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. In connection with each annual and interim period, management must assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date. Disclosures are required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606 ): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which further clarifies performance obligations in a contract with a customer. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which provides a more narrow interpretation of ASU No. 2014-09. These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of these standards will have on the financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which changes the inventory measurement principles for entities using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods. For entities utilizing one of these methods, the inventory measurement principle will change from lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases.” The ASU requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by most leases as assets and liabilities on their balance sheet and continue to recognize expenses on their income statement over the lease term. It will also require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which changes the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities and any entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) .” This ASU requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. |

Correction of Accounting Error in Prior Period | Note 3. Correction of Accounting Error in Prior Period Subsequent to March 31, 2016, but prior to filing the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company discovered a cumulative error associated with the elimination of profits on sales of inventory to its subsidiaries. This error had no impact upon the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2010. The following financial statement line items reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2015 was affected by the correction of this accounting error: (in thousands) Previously Reported December 31, 2015 Adjusted December 31, 2015 Effect Inventory, net $ $ $ Total current assets Total assets Accumulated deficit Total stockholders' equity Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ $ $ This error was associated with transactions occurring prior to September 2010, at which time the Company revised its methodology to compute and eliminate intercompany profits. However, the Company failed to identify and record an entry to eliminate the cumulative error resulting from the prior methodology. This $6.5 million error resulted in an overstatement of inventory and a cumulative understatement of cost of product revenue as of September 2010. Thereafter, the effect was an overstatement of inventory and understatement of accumulative deficit for each subsequent reporting period. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been revised to reflect the correction of the error through a decrease in inventory and an increase in accumulated deficit of $6.5 million. In the opinion of management, the effect is not material to the consolidated financial position or results of operations for any previously reported period. |

1-for-4 Reverse Stock Split | Note 4. 1-for-4 Reverse Stock Split As of 6:00 PM Eastern Time on June 30, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of its common stock. The Company continues to be traded under its unchanged symbol “ACLS.” All previously reported common stock share amounts in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. As a result of the reduced number of shares outstanding after the reverse stock split, the stated capital attributable to common stock on the Company’s balance sheet (which consists of the unchanged $0.001 par value per share multiplied by the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding), has been reduced. Correspondingly, the Company’s additional paid-in capital account, which consists of the difference between its stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to the Company upon issuance of all currently outstanding shares of its common stock, has been credited with the amount by which the stated capital was reduced. The Company’s stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, remains unchanged. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the Company retired 30 thousand shares of common stock held in treasury to the status of authorized and unissued. |

The Company establishes inventory reserves when conditions exist that indicate inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon assumptions about future demand for the Company’s products or market conditions. The Company regularly evaluates the ability to realize the value of inventories based on a combination of factors including the following: forecasted sales or usage, estimated product end of life dates, estimated current and future market value and new product introductions. Purchasing and usage alternatives are also explored to mitigate inventory exposure. In 2016, the Company recorded an overall decrease of $1.6 million in the inventory reserves, which consisted of disposals due to previously reserved for obsolescence and excess inventory of $2.6 million partially offset by a provision charge to the reserve of $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, inventories are stated net of inventory reserves of $8.8 million and $10.5 million respectively. During each of the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded charges to cost of sales of $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million to reflect the lower of cost or market value. During 2014, the Company recorded a charge to cost of sales of $1.0 million due to production levels below normal capacity. |

The sale leaseback is accounted for as a financing arrangement for financial reporting and, as such, the Company recorded a financing obligation of $47.6 million as of December 31, 2016. The associated lease payments include both an interest component and payment of principal, with the underlying liability being extinguished at the end of the original lease term. The Company posted a collateralized security deposit of $5.9 million in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit at the time of the closing. Upon the termination of our credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank in October 2015, this letter of credit was cash collateralized. |

Employee Benefit Plans | Note 13. Employee Benefit Plans (a) Defined Contribution Plan The Company maintains the Axcelis Long-Term Investment Plan, a defined contribution plan. All regular employees are eligible to participate and may contribute up to 35% of their compensation on a before-tax basis subject to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limitations. Highly compensated employees may contribute up to 16% of their compensation on a before-tax basis subject to IRS limitations. In 2015, the Company implemented a matching contribution of up to one thousand U.S. dollars on a dollar-for-dollar basis on contributions by eligible participants. In 2016, the Company increased the matching contribution to a maximum of one thousand two hundred U.S. dollars, on the basis of one dollar matched for each two dollars contributed by eligible participants. Total related expense for 2016 and 2015 was $0.4 million. (b) Other Compensation Plans The Company operates in foreign jurisdictions that require lump sum benefits, payable based on statutory regulations, for voluntary or involuntary termination. Where required, an annual actuarial valuation of the benefit plans is obtained. The Company has recorded an unfunded liability of $4.0 million and $3.9 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for costs associated with these compensation plans in foreign jurisdictions.

Stock-Based Compensation | |
Stock Award Plans and Stock Based Compensation | Note 14. Stock Award Plans and Stock Based Compensation (a) Equity Incentive Plans The Company maintains the Axcelis Technologies, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Equity Plan”), which became effective on May 2, 2012. Our 2000 Stock Plan (the “2000 Stock Plan”) expired on May 1, 2012 and no new grants may be made under that plan after that date. However, awards granted under the 2000 Stock Plan prior to the expiration remain outstanding and subject to the terms of the 2000 Stock Plan. The 2012 Equity Plan, as amended, reserves 5.5 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, for grant and permits the issuance of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock equivalents and awards of shares of common stock that are not subject to restrictions or forfeiture to selected employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Shares that are not issued under an award (because such award expires, is terminated unexercised or is forfeited) that were outstanding under the 2000 Stock Plan as of the May 2, 2012, increase the reserve of shares available for grant under the 2012 Equity Plan. The term of stock options granted under these plans is specified in the award agreements. Unless a lesser term is otherwise specified by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, awards under the 2012 Equity Plan will expire seven years from the date of grant. In general, all awards issued under the 2000 Stock Plan expire ten years from the date of grant. Under the terms of these stock plans, the exercise price of a stock option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Under the 2012 Equity Plan, fair market value is defined as the last reported sale price of a share of the common stock on a national securities exchange as of any applicable date, as long as the Company’s shares are traded on such exchange. Stock options granted to employees generally vest over a period of four years, while stock options granted to non‑employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors generally vest over a period of six months and, once vested, are not affected by the director’s termination of service to the Company. In limited circumstances, the Company may grant stock option awards with market-based vesting conditions, such as the Company’s common stock price, or other performance conditions. Termination of service by an employee will cause options to cease vesting as of the date of termination, and in most cases, employees will have 90 days after termination to exercise options that were vested as of the termination of employment. In general, retiring employees will have one year after termination of employment to exercise vested options. The Company settles stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. Restricted stock units granted to employees during 2016 had both time-based vesting provisions and performance-based vesting provisions. Generally, unvested restricted stock unit awards expire upon termination of service to the Company. The Company settles restricted stock units upon vesting with newly issued common shares. No restricted stock was granted under either stock plan during the three year period ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, there were 0.7 million shares available for grant under the 2012 Equity Plan. No shares are available for grant under the 2000 Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2016, there were 5.0 million options outstanding under the 2012 Equity Plan and the 2000 Stock Plan, collectively, and 0.5 million unvested restricted stock units outstanding under the 2012 Stock Plan. (b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) provides effectively all of the Company’s employees the opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company at less than market prices. Purchases are made through payroll deductions of up to 10% of the employee’s salary as elected by the participant, subject to certain caps set forth in the Purchase Plan. Employees may purchase the Company’s common stock at 85% of its market on the day the stock is purchased. The Purchase Plan is considered compensatory and as such, compensation expense has been recognized based on the benefit of the discounted stock price, amortized to compensation expense over each offering period of six months. Compensation expense relating to the Purchase Plan was approximately $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2016, there were a total of 0.3 million shares reserved for issuance and available for purchase under the Purchase Plan. Less than 0.1 million shares were purchased under the Purchase Plan in each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. (c) Valuation of Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units For the purpose of valuing stock options with service conditions, the Company uses the Black‑Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant‑date fair value of an award. The fair values of options granted were calculated using the following estimated weighted‑average assumptions: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Weighted-average expected volatility 49.3% — 56.7% 56.2% — 64.7% 60.6% — 98.4% Weighted-average expected term 4.7 years 4.6 — 4.7 years 3.8 — 4.7 years Risk-free interest rate 1.1% — 2.0% 1.3% — 1.6% 1.2% — 1.7% Expected dividend yield 0% 0% 0% Expected volatility—The Company considers a number of factors when estimating volatility for stock options granted. The Company’s method of estimating expected volatility relies on a combination of historical and implied volatility. The Company believes that this blended volatility results in an accurate estimate of the grant‑date fair value of employee stock options because it appropriately reflects the market’s current expectations of future volatility. Expected term—The Company calculated the weighted average expected term for stock options granted prior to July 1, 2012, using a forward looking lattice model of the Company’s stock price incorporating a suboptimal exercise factor and a projected post‑vest forfeiture rate. For stock options granted after July 1, 2012 to employees and to non‑employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company used the simplified method for estimating the expected life of “plain vanilla” options because it did not have sufficient exercise history to use a lattice model. The Company expects that it will use a lattice model once sufficient exercise history has been established. A change in the contractual life from 10 years to 7 years was made to reflect the fact that options granted after May 1, 2012 were granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which limits option terms to seven years. Risk‑free interest rate - The yield on zero‑coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the expected term assumption is used as the risk‑free interest rate. Expected dividend yield—Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since the Company does not pay dividends and has no current plans to do so in the future. In limited circumstances, the Company also issues stock option grants with vesting based on market conditions, such as the Company’s common stock price, or a combination of time or market or performance conditions. The fair values and derived service periods for all grants that have vesting based on market or performance conditions are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. For each stock option grant with vesting based on a combination of time and performance or market conditions, where vesting will occur if either condition is met, the related compensation costs are recognized over the shorter of the explicit service period or the derived service period. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock units is calculated based upon the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. (d) Summary of Stock-based Compensation Expense The Company uses the straight‑line attribution method to recognize expense for stock‑based awards such that the expense associated with awards is evenly recognized throughout the period. The amount of stock‑based compensation recognized is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises them, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock‑based award. Based on a historical analysis, a forfeiture rate of 5% per year was applied to stock‑based awards, including executive officer awards, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5.2 million. Stock-based compensation expense was $5.6 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company presents the expenses related to stock-based compensation in the same expense line items as cash compensation paid to its employees. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company primarily used restricted stock units in its annual equity compensation program. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company primarily used stock options in its annual equity compensation program. The benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost is reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. Because the Company does not recognize the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost due to its cumulative net operating loss position, this had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014. (e) Stock Option Awards The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2016: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Aggregate Exercise Contractual Intrinsic Options Price Term Value (in thousands) (years) (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2015 $ Granted Exercised Canceled Expired Outstanding at December 31, 2016 $ $ Exercisable at December 31, 2016 $ $ Options Vested or Expected to Vest at December 31, 2016(1) $ $ (1) In addition to the vested options, the Company expects a portion of the unvested options to vest at some point in the future. Options expected to vest is calculated by applying an estimated forfeiture rate to the unvested options. The total intrinsic value, which is defined as the difference between the market price at exercise and the price paid by the employee to exercise the options, for options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2.5 million, $5.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $3.9 million, $5.4 million and $4.7 million respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $5.75, $5.05 and $3.82, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there was $4.8 million of total forfeiture‑adjusted unrecognized compensation cost related to non‑vested stock options granted under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2000 Stock Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted‑average period of 2.1 years. (f) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) represent the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue shares of the common stock at a future date, subject to the terms of the RSU Award Agreement in either the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan or the 2000 Stock Plan. The purpose of these awards is to assist in attracting and retaining highly competent employees and directors and to act as an incentive in motivating selected employees and directors to achieve long-term corporate objectives. RSU awards granted in 2016 included time vested share awards and awards with performance vesting conditions. No restricted stock awards were granted, or vested, during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The fair value of a restricted stock unit and restricted stock award is charged to expense ratably over the applicable service period. Changes in the Company’s non‑vested restricted stock units for the year ended December 31, 2016 is as follows: Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Shares/units Value per Share (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2015 $ Granted Vested Forfeited Outstanding at December 31, 2016 $ The weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $9.73, $12.12 and $8.68, respectively. Some restricted stock units provide for net share settlement to offset the personal income tax obligations of the employee’s restricted stock unit vesting. Vesting activity above reflects shares vested before net share settlement. |

Fair Value Measurements | Note 16. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. (a) Fair Value Hierarchy The accounting guidance for fair value measurement requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 —applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 —applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model‑derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 —applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. (b) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value The Company’s money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets, and are considered a level 1 investment as they are valued at quoted market prices in active markets. The Company’s sale leaseback obligation relating to the sale of our corporate headquarters is carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value based on an implied borrowing rate of 10.65%. The underlying cash flow associated with our lease payments is being applied to both an interest and principal component using the effective interest method over the associated lease term. The liability is categorized as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy.

(d) Litigation The Company is not presently a party to any litigation that it believes might have a material adverse effect on its business operations. The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation that arises in the normal course of its business operations. (e) Indemnifications The Company’s system sales agreements typically include provisions under which the Company agrees to take certain actions, provide certain remedies and defend its customers against third‑party claims of intellectual property infringement under specified conditions and to indemnify customers against any damage and costs awarded in connection with such claims. The Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |

Business Segment and Geographic Region Information | Note 18. Business Segment and Geographic Region Information The Company operates in one business segment, which is the manufacture of capital equipment for the semiconductor chip manufacturing industry. The principal market for semiconductor capital equipment is semiconductor chip manufacturers. Substantially all sales are made directly by the Company to its customers located in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific. The Company’s ion implantation systems product line includes high current, medium current and high energy implanters. Other products include legacy dry strip equipment, curing systems, and thermal processing systems. In addition to new equipment, the Company provides post‑sales equipment service and support, including spare parts, equipment upgrades, used equipment, maintenance services and customer training. Revenue by product lines is as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 (in thousands) Ion implantation systems and services $ $ $ Other systems and services Total revenue $ $ $ Revenue and long‑lived assets by geographic region, based on the physical location of the operation recording the sale or the asset, are as follows: Long-Lived Revenue Assets (in thousands) 2016 United States $ $ Europe — Asia Pacific $ $ 2015 United States $ $ Europe — Asia Pacific $ $ 2014 United States $ $ Europe — Asia Pacific $ $ Long‑lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, net, and assets manufactured for internal use. Operations in Europe and Asia Pacific consist of sales and service organizations. International revenue, which includes export sales from U.S. manufacturing facilities to foreign customers and sales by foreign subsidiaries and branches, was $213.8 million (80.0% of total revenue), $256.5 million (85.1% of total revenue) and $162.4 million (80.0% of total revenue) in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |

A valuation allowance must be established when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s performance, the market environment in which the company operates, length of carryback and carryforward periods, existing sales backlog, and projections of future operating results. Where there are cumulative losses in recent years there is a strong presumption that a valuation allowance is needed. This presumption can be overcome in very limited circumstances. The Company maintains a valuation allowance reducing the carrying value of the deferred tax assets in the United States to zero. The Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for those tax assets until sustainable future levels of profitability are evident. Changes in the valuation allowance in 2016 and 2015 were attributable to changes in the composition of temporary differences and changes in net operating loss carryforwards. The remaining net deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet represents the balances related to the activities of the foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2016, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $317.1 million and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2.8 million, expiring principally between 2017 and 2034. The Company has research and development and other tax credit carryforwards of $12.8 million at December 31, 2016 that can be used to reduce future federal and state income tax liabilities. These tax credit carryforwards expire principally between 2017 and 2028. The Company does not have any foreign tax credit carryforwards as a result of the expiration of $3.6 million of foreign tax credits at December 31, 2016. It is Company policy to provide taxes for the total anticipated tax impact of the undistributed earnings of our wholly‑owned foreign subsidiaries, as such earnings are not expected to be reinvested indefinitely. The Company anticipates that U.S. tax resulting from remitting such earnings will be offset by net operating loss or credit carryforwards to the extent available. In addition, the Company does not anticipate incurring a foreign withholding tax on remitting such earnings since it does not intend to remit the earnings as dividends. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company and most foreign subsidiaries are subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years dating back to 2005. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. At December 31, 2016, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions of approximately $6.8 million, of which approximately $5.4 million reduced the Company’s deferred tax assets and the offsetting valuation allowance and $1.5 million was recorded in other long‑term liabilities. During the first quarter of 2016, the statute of limitations associated with a tax position previously taken by the Company expired. The related tax reserve of $0.6 million and accrued interest of $0.3 million that had been recorded were reversed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that there will be a reduction to the reserve for uncertain tax positions of approximately $0.5 million within the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in a foreign tax jurisdiction. The Company recognized $0.2 million in interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for each of the years-ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits are as follows: 2016 2015 (in thousands) Balance at beginning of year $ $ Increase (decrease) in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period Decreases in unrecognized tax benefits related to settlements with tax authorities — Reductions to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitation Increases in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during the current period — — Balance at end of year $ $ Recorded as other long-term liability $ $ Recorded as a decrease in deferred tax assets and offsetting valuation allowance Balance at end of year $ $ |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned, controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2016 have been evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. |
Use of Estimates | (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, the realizable value of inventories, valuing stock-based compensation instruments and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. |
Foreign Currency | (c) Foreign Currency The functional currency for substantially all operations outside the United States is the local currency. Financial statements for these operations are translated into United States dollars at year‑end rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the year as to revenue and expenses. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as an element of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company had $0.6 million in foreign exchange losses. For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company did not have any material foreign exchange gains or losses. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company realized $1.8 million of foreign exchange gains. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market securities and certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents are carried on the balance sheet at fair market value. |
Inventories | (e) Inventories Inventories are carried at lower of cost, determined using the first‑in, first‑out (“FIFO”) method, or market. The Company periodically reviews its inventories and makes provisions as necessary for estimated obsolescence or damaged goods to ensure values approximate lower of cost or market. The amount of such markdowns is equal to the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demands, selling prices, and market conditions. The Company records an allowance for estimated excess inventory. The allowance is determined using management’s assumptions of materials usage, based on estimates of demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions become less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write‑downs may be required. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recorded using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Asset Classification Estimated Useful Life Land and buildings (under lease) Lesser of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years On January 30, 2015, the Company sold its corporate headquarters facility. As part of this sale, the Company also entered into a 22-year lease agreement. The Company accounted for the sale leaseback transaction as a financing arrangement for financial reporting purposes. The Company retained the historical costs of the property and the related accumulated depreciation on its financial books within property, plant and equipment and will continue to depreciate the property for financial reporting purposes over the lesser of its remaining useful life or its initial lease term of 22 years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | (g) Impairment of Long‑Lived Assets The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that these assets might not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the assets’ carrying amount to their expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value. The Company did not have any indicators of impairment during the period ending December 31, 2016. The Company did not record an impairment charge in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, or 2014. Actual performance could be materially different from our current forecasts, which could impact estimates of undiscounted cash flows and may result in the impairment of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets in the future. This could be caused by strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material adverse change in the Company’s relationships with significant customers. |
Concentration of Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk | (h) Concentration of Risk and Off‑Balance Sheet Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are principally cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash equivalents are principally maintained in an investment grade money‑market fund or certificates of deposit. The Company has no significant off‑balance‑sheet risk such as exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements. The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to cash equivalents. The primary objective of the Company’s investment activities is to preserve principal without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in marketable high investment grade securities. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its investment portfolio and does not expect operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by any change in market interest rates. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. For selected overseas sales, the Company requires customers to obtain letters of credit before product is shipped. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. The Company does not have any off‑balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The Company’s customers consist of semiconductor chip manufacturers located throughout the world and net sales to its ten largest customers accounted for 70.2%, 76.8% and 68.1% of revenue in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had one customer representing 17.0% of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had two customers representing 29.3% and 10.5% of total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 2014 the Company had two customers representing 17.4% and 12.3% of total revenue, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had four customers account for 22.0%, 12.3%, 12.0% and 10.6% of consolidated accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had three customers account for 22.9%, 12.7% and 11.6% of consolidated accounts receivable, respectively. Some of the components and sub‑assemblies included in the Company’s products are obtained either from a sole source or a limited group of suppliers. Disruption to the Company’s supply source, resulting either from economic conditions or other factors, could affect its ability to deliver products to its customers. |
Revenue Recognition | (i) Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue recognition policy involves significant judgment by management. The Company considers a broad array of facts and circumstances in determining when to recognize revenue, including contractual obligations to the customer, the complexity of the customer’s post‑delivery acceptance provisions, payment history, customer creditworthiness and the installation process. The Company’s system sales transactions are made up of multiple elements, including the system itself and elements that are not delivered simultaneously with the system. These undelivered elements might include a combination of installation services, extended warranty and support and spare parts, all of which are covered generally by a single sales price. The Company’s system revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if specified criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand‑alone value to the customer. If the criteria are met, then the consideration received is allocated among the separate units based on their relative selling price, and the revenue is recognized separately for each of the separate units. The Company determines selling price for each unit of accounting (element) using vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) or third‑party evidence (TPE), if they exist, otherwise, the Company uses best estimated selling price (BESP). The Company generally expects that it will not be able to establish TPE due to the nature of its products, and, as such, the Company typically will determine selling price using VSOE or BESP. Where required, the Company determines BESP for an individual element based on consideration of both market and Company‑specific factors, including the selling price and profit margin for similar products, the cost to produce the deliverable and the anticipated margin on that deliverable and the characteristics of the markets in which the deliverable is sold. Systems are not sold separately and VSOE or TPE is not available for the systems element. Therefore the selling price associated with systems is based on BESP. The allocated value for installation in the arrangement includes either (i) the relative selling price of the installation or (ii) the portion of the sales price that will not be received until the installation is completed (the “retention”). The selling price of elements such as extended warranty for support, spare parts and support labor is also based on BESP. For the majority of regions, the selling price of installation is based upon the fair value of the service performed, including labor, which is based upon the estimated time to complete the installation at hourly rates, and material components, both of which are sold separately, or VSOE. In regions where VSOE does not exist the Company uses BESP. Product revenue for products which have demonstrated market acceptance, is generally recognized upon shipment provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, evidence of an arrangement exists, prices are contractually fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured through historical collection results and regular credit evaluations, and there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance. Revenue from installation services is recognized at the time acceptance has occurred, as defined in the sales documentation or, for certain customers, when both acceptance has occurred and retention payment has been received. Revenue for other elements is recognized at the time products are shipped or the related services are performed. The Company generally recognizes revenue for systems which have demonstrated market acceptance at the time of shipment because the customer’s post‑delivery acceptance provisions and installation process have been established to be routine, commercially inconsequential and perfunctory. The Company believes the risk of failure to complete a system installation is remote. For initial shipments of systems with new technologies or in the small number of instances where the Company is unsure of meeting the customer’s specifications or obtaining customer acceptance upon shipment of the system, it will defer the recognition of systems revenue and related costs until written customer acceptance of the system is obtained. This deferral period is generally within twelve months of shipment. Revenue related to maintenance and service contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts, or based on parts usage, where appropriate. Revenue related to service hours is recognized when the services are performed. Product revenue includes revenue from system sales, sales of spare parts, the spare parts component of maintenance and service contracts and product upgrades. Services revenue includes the labor component of maintenance and service contract amounts charged for on‑site service personnel. Axcelis reports revenue net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities, with the collected taxes recorded as current liabilities until remitted to the relevant government authority. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | (j) Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue. |
Stock-Based Compensation | (k) Stock‑Based Compensation The Company generally recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, based on the grant‑date fair value of those stock‑based payments using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model, adjusted for expected forfeitures. Other valuation models may be utilized in the limited circumstances where awards with market-based vesting considerations, such as the price of the Company’s common stock, or performance based awards, are granted. Stock‑based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period. For each stock option grant with vesting based on a combination of time, market or performance conditions, where vesting will occur if either condition is met, the related compensation costs are recognized over the shorter of the explicit service period or the derived service period. See Note 14 for additional information relating to stock‑based compensation. |
Income Taxes | (l) Income Taxes The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company’s consolidated financial statements contain certain deferred tax assets which have arisen primarily as a result of operating losses, as well as other temporary differences between financial and tax accounting. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets is reduced based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against those net deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates the weight of all available evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Income taxes include the largest amount of tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. Settlements with tax authorities, the expiration of statutes of limitations for particular tax positions, or obtaining new information on particular tax positions may cause a change to the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share | (m) Computation of Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted‑average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014, and has excluded 1,165,855 of incremental shares attributable to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units from the calculation of net loss per share because the effect would have been anti‑dilutive. The components of net income (loss) per share are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 (in thousands, except per share data) Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $ $ $ Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing basic income (loss) per share Incremental options and RSUs — Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share Net income (loss) per share Basic $ $ $ Diluted $ $ $ |

Recent Accounting Guidance | (o) Recent Accounting Guidance Accounting Standards or Updates Recently Adopted In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The amendments in this ASU require entities that present classified statements of financial position to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent. They apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-17 early, effective June 30, 2016, on a prospective basis. As a result, the Company presented all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, reducing current deferred tax assets by $0.2 million, long-term deferred tax assets by $0.3 million and short-term deferred tax liabilities by $0.5 million. The current deferred tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, have not been reclassified. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 introduces an explicit requirement for management to assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. In connection with each annual and interim period, management must assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date. Disclosures are required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606 ): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which further clarifies performance obligations in a contract with a customer. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which provides a more narrow interpretation of ASU No. 2014-09. These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of these standards will have on the financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which changes the inventory measurement principles for entities using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost methods. For entities utilizing one of these methods, the inventory measurement principle will change from lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases.” The ASU requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations created by most leases as assets and liabilities on their balance sheet and continue to recognize expenses on their income statement over the lease term. It will also require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which changes the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities and any entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) .” This ASU requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. |
