<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This summary highlights
selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the
information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. You
should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the risks of investing
discussed under &#147;<i><font style="font-style:italic;">Risk Factors</font></i>&#148;
beginning on page 3, the information incorporated by reference, including our
consolidated financial statements, and the exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Throughout
this prospectus, references to &#147;AXT,&#148; the &#147;Company,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; and &#147;our&#148;
refer to AXT, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries, where applicable.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
design, develop, manufacture and distribute high-performance compound and
single element semiconductor substrates comprising gallium arsenide (GaAs),
indium phosphide (InP) and germanium (Ge). Our substrate products are used
primarily in lighting display applications, wireless communications, and fiber
optic communications. We believe our vertical gradient freeze, or VGF,
technique for manufacturing semiconductor substrates provides significant
benefits over other methods and has enabled us to become a leading manufacturer
of such substrates. We pioneered the commercial use of VGF technology to
manufacture GaAs substrates and subsequently used VGF technology to manufacture
substrates from InP and Ge. Some of our competitors followed our lead by
developing their own versions of VGF technology. Customers for our substrates
include United Epitaxy Company, Avago, Samsung, EMCORE, Kopin, IQE, Osram, MBE
Technologies, and Sumika. Over the past four years, we have implemented an
initiative to reduce the cost of manufacturing our substrates by moving our
manufacturing operations to China, which is now complete, and by investing in
sources of low cost raw materials.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
also manufacture and sell raw materials related to our substrate business
through five joint ventures located in China. These joint ventures produce
products including 99.99% pure gallium (4N Ga), high purity gallium, arsenic,
germanium, germanium dioxide, paralytic boron nitride (pBN) crucibles, and
boron oxide. AXT&#146;s ownership interest in these entities ranges from 25 percent
to 83 percent. We consolidate the three joint ventures in which we own a
majority interest and employ equity accounting for the two joint ventures in
which we have a 25 percent interest. We purchase the materials produced by
these ventures for our use and sell other portions of their production to third
parties.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 6.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In
2005, we made a number of important changes to our management team. Philip C.S.
Yin, Ph.D., joined the Company in March&nbsp;2005 as chief executive
officer.&#160; In June&nbsp;2005, two new
positions were created: chief operating officer and chief technology
officer.&#160; The former president of AXT&#146;s
China operations became president of joint venture operations. In
September&nbsp;2005, our new vice president of global sales and marketing
joined the Company. This new structure enables us to maximize the expertise and
skill sets of our team while placing enhanced emphasis on manufacturing,
production and quality, and quality systems improvement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We were incorporated in California in December&nbsp;1986 and
reincorporated in Delaware in May&nbsp;1998. We changed our name from American
Xtal Technology,&nbsp;Inc. to AXT,&nbsp;Inc. in July&nbsp;2000. Our corporate

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire,
or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of AXT.
These provisions could cause the price of our common stock to decrease. Some of
these provisions allow us to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock
without any vote or further action by the stockholders, eliminate the right of
stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting and eliminate
cumulative voting in the election of directors.&#160;
In addition, these provisions include the right of our board to elect a
director to fill a space created by a board vacancy or the expansion of the
board, the ability of our board to alter our bylaws, and the requirement that
only our board or the holders of at least 10% of our outstanding shares may
call a special meeting of our stockholders.&#160;
These provisions may make it more difficult for stockholders to take
specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying or preventing
a change in control of AXT.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our certificate of incorporation provides that the board of
directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with each class
serving a staggered three-year term. The classification system of electing
directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of us and may maintain the incumbency of the board
of directors, because the classification of the board of directors generally
increases the difficulty of replacing a majority of the directors.</font></p>

to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of our Series A preferred stock at a

public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or
directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters&#146; obligations to purchase
the securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters
will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the
securities. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship.
We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the
nature of any such relationship.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We may authorize
underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to
purchase our common stock from us at the public offering price set forth in the
prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for
payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be
subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and
the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for
solicitation of these contracts.</font></p>

by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933
Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters,

and agents.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We may grant underwriters

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Underwriters, dealers or
agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from us or our purchasers, as their agents in connection with the
sale of our common stock. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be
considered to be underwriters under the 1933 Act. As a result, discounts,
commissions or profits on resale received by the underwriters, dealers or
agents may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The prospectus
supplement will identify any such underwriter, dealer or agent and describe any
compensation received by them from us. Any public offering price and any
discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be
changed from time to time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Any common stock sold
pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be included in the Nasdaq Global
Market.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Any underwriter may engage
in over-allotment transactions, stabilizing transactions, short-covering
transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the
Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size,
which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase
the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of our common
stock in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short
positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession
from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased
in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause
the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If
commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any
effect that such transactions may have on the price of our common stock. For a
description of these activities, see the information under the heading &#147;Underwriting&#148;
in the applicable prospectus supplement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents who may become involved in the sale of our common stock may engage in
transactions with and perform other services for us for which they receive
compensation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 10.0pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware corporation to limit
the personal liability of its directors in accordance with the provisions set forth
therein. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended,
provides that the personal liability of our directors shall be limited to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 10.0pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;145 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation&#146;s
board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms
sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances
for liabilities including reimbursement for expenses incurred arising under the
Securities Act of 1933. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
as amended, and our Bylaws permit indemnification of directors, officers,
employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition,
we have entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of our officers and
directors. We also maintain an officers and directors liability insurance
policy.&#160; </font>These indemnification
provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant&#146;s officers, directors and other corporate agents for liabilities
(including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act
of 1933.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 10.0pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The foregoing may reduce the
likelihood of a derivative litigation against the registrant&#146;s directors and
executive officers and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from
suing directors or executive officers for breaches of their duty of care, even
though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the registrant and
its stockholders.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 10.0pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The underwriting agreement
that we may enter into, Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, will
provide for indemnification by any underwriters of the registrant, its
directors, its officers who sign the registration statement and its controlling
persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.</font></p>

after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in
the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for
liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an
underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the
registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement
to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that

deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time
of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date; or</font></p>

offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than
prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (&#167;230.430A of this chapter), shall

date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(6) That, for the purpose of
determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The undersigned registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned
registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the
underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:</font></p>

<p style="margin:4.5pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(i) Any preliminary
prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (&#167;230.424 of this chapter);</font></p>

<p style="margin:4.5pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(ii) Any free writing
prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;</font></p>

<p style="margin:4.5pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(iii) The portion of any
other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material
information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or
on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and</font></p>

<p style="margin:4.5pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(iv) Any other communication
that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the
purchaser.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(B) That, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a)&nbsp;or 15(d)&nbsp;of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d)&nbsp;of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.</font></p>

<p style="margin:9.0pt 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(C) Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC this form of indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against these
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of this issue.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have acted as counsel to
AXT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), in connection with the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (as may be further amended or supplemented,
the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on June 29, 2006, for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of
1933 (the &#147;Act&#148;) shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the &#147;Shares&#148;)
with an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000. The Shares are to be
sold from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, the prospectus
contained therein (the &#147;Prospectus&#148;) and any supplements to the Prospectus (the
&#147;Prospectus Supplements&#148;). The Shares may be sold pursuant to one or more
definitive underwriting, purchase or similar agreements (each, a &#147;Purchase
Agreement&#148;) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a
Current Report on Form 8-K or by an amendment to the Registration Statement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 12.0pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Based upon the
foregoing and our examination of such questions of law as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, and assuming issuance
of the Shares in accordance with the Purchase Agreement therefore, it is our
opinion that, when, as and if issued and sold by the Company, the Shares will
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This opinion is limited to
