MEMS

The Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) market is changing and growing, driven by the increased number of sensors in consumer electronics like smartphones and technical innovations in the automotive industry. Connected devices that use sensors include cars, wearable technology, home products, and more.

Optical MEMS inspection has a two-fold challenge. The multiple levels and areas of interest all require careful inspection at high speed. Additionally, special handling is required for wafers with sensitive areas, such as membranes. Inspection requires the ability to process and evaluate a large variety of wafer types and sizes, up to 8 inches.
