Exhibit 2.1

AMENDMENT TO EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of October 9, 2025, to the EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 27, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Semilab USA LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Company”), Semilab International Zrt., a Hungarian private company limited by shares (“Seller”), Semilab Zrt., a Hungarian private company limited by shares (“Semilab Hungary”, and together with Seller, the “Seller Parties”) and Onto Innovation Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Capitalized or other terms used and not defined herein but defined in the Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, each of the Seller Parties and Buyer desires to amend the Purchase Agreement, Disclosure Schedules, and certain other Transaction Documents to remove the Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy reflectometry systems (EIR) product line (the “EIR Product Line”) by removing any purchase orders, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, Contracts, Intellectual Property, or any other assets or liabilities exclusively related to the EIR Product Line (collectively, the “EIR Assets and Liabilities”) from the scope of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Seller Parties and Buyer may amend the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 8.9 thereof, which provides that the Purchase Agreement may be amended by a written mutual agreement executed and delivered by Buyer and the Seller Parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
Acknowledgement. The Seller Parties and Buyer acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding anything in the Purchase Agreement (including any Exhibits or Schedules thereto), Transaction Documents, or Disclosure Schedules (including any Annexes thereto) to the contrary, (i) the EIR Product Line and the EIR Assets and Liabilities are excluded from the scope of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and shall not be acquired or assumed by Buyer or the Company, and all such assets and liabilities shall be retained by the Seller Parties and their Affiliates; and (ii) the Disclosure Schedules (including any Annexes thereto) and Interim Financial Statements were prepared prior to the removal of the EIR Product Line and the EIR Assets and Liabilities from the scope of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and that any disclosures exclusively relating to the EIR Product Line and the EIR Assets and Liabilities included in the Disclosure Schedules (including any Annexes thereto) are for informational purposes only.
2.
Seller Party Covenants. Seller and Semilab Hungary shall not sell, assign, transfer or convey any EIR Assets and Liabilities to the Company or Buyer and shall cause the Company, in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements of Schedule II to the Purchase Agreement, to transfer to Seller, Semilab Hungary or their Affiliates (other than the Company) all EIR Assets and Liabilities owned by the Company prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Seller, Semilab Hungary, and the Company shall terminate any Contract previously entered into, but not consummated, that provides for the sale, assignment, transfer, or conveyance of any EIR Assets and Liabilities from Seller Parties or their Affiliates to the Company.
3.
Amendments. The parties hereto agree to the following amendments to the Purchase Agreement:
