What we do
We currently focus our efforts on the semiconductors industry and more specifically on developing inspection systems for silicon chips, usable both in research and for the manufacturing process.
Our first technology enables imaging millimeters deep through silicon with exceptional resolution. This cutting-edge, patent-pending solution provides superior imaging capabilities through silicon, outperforming the infrared imaging technologies currently available on the market.
What drives us
Efficiency is at the core of our approach, from how we conceptualize and develop our innovations to the impact they have on our clients.
For some, efficiency means doing more with less. For us, it also means using resources sustainably to achieve better results.
This can involve building products with fewer components, making them more resilient and straightforward to use, or prioritizing work-life balance to ensure our team operates on a sustainable schedule—a practice that has been shown to enhance overall productivity [1].
We're also proud that our products help reduce waste in the silicon-chip manufacturing process. As we aim to integrate them seamlessly into existing workflows, our solutions support sustainable practices, creating a full circle of efficiency.
