From new chip architectures to advanced lithography technologies, IC manufacturers are innovating more than ever -- and facing new defect inspection challenges. Leveraging key sensitivity enhancements and technology breakthroughs that enable industry-leading throughput, we've again extended our 23XX platform to enable leading-edge chipmakers to achieve faster time to market on advanced chips. |
Our customers today increasingly face the combined impact of shorter product lifecycles and rapidly eroding price points within each lifecycle. Consequently, the economics of speed -- getting to market more quickly at high volume and high yield -- have become the primary profitability driver. As they ramp new processes into production, our customers need quick access to the right tools to reach their device performance and yield goals. The Viper 2435's demonstrated ability to accurately and rapidly disposition process tools and wafers can fully support their high-volume manufacturing requirements. |
With extensive knowledge gained through customer collaborations and our breadth of applications expertise, we are focused on developing advanced solutions that help our customers to successfully innovate and remain competitive. The eS32 continues the leadership established with our previous-generation e-beam inspection tools, reaffirming our commitment to our customers' success. |
