INSPECTION, PRODUCTION, AND TRANSFERS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING

From wafer processing through inspection and metrology to wafer packaging, our high precision motion products have solved many customer challenges in the semiconductor market. The Aerotech and Micronix platform of high precision products have been key to providing the semiconductor industry with solutions which are clean, reliable, and most importantly – they enable higher throughput through greater positioning precision. For foup transfer applications and others within the fab that do not require sub-micron motion, we have our general line of automation products perfect for more general automation and motion control.
