Microscopy - essential in the advanced semiconductor industry

Welcome to the world of semiconductor manufacture, where the smallest detail counts! If you work in the semiconductor industry, you know how important it is to check everything in great detail. For this reason, you need high-quality microscopes that give you an accurate and clear view of your board or wafer.

As one of the world’s most advanced technologies, the semiconductor industry needs the most advanced tools for testing in order to guarantee the quality of its products. Microscopes have established themselves over the years as essential tools for the semiconductor industry to improve our understanding of semiconductors at the atomic and microscopic level.

Metallurgical microscopes - where the component is illuminated from above - are required for the detailed examination of industrial semiconductors.

Microscopes with special illumination which use reflected light to observe semiconductors’ fine surface structures are particularly effective here.

It is also possible to create 3D images with stereo microscopes using both incident and transmitted light, which can be particularly useful for analysing the topography of semiconductors. Small stereo microscopes are also not to be forgotten here. They feature low magnification but a large working distance, facilitating assembly and soldering.
