Semiconductors are abundant in modern technology, having proliferated exponentially since the invention of the integrated circuit (IC). As per Moore’s law, they have been central to the rapid increase in transistor miniaturization and complexity, which has directly led to a host of key innovations from the cutting-edge of technology to the everyday.

As the demands placed upon semiconducting systems increase, with devices trending towards greater electronic density, enhanced thermoelectric performance, superior efficiency, and so on, so too do the demands of manufacturing. Each step in the semiconductor processing chain is already subject to stringent tolerances, from semiconductor growth through to CMP polishing of extracted substrates.

High-performance optics and expertise, are pivotal to meeting demands of semiconductor processing for an ever-growing market.
