About Nearfield Instruments

It is difficult to imagine the modern world without electronics. From televisions to cars, and from fridges to the device you are reading this on right now, they are all interconnected by semiconductor devices (chips). To get the most use out of them, and the limited space in these devices, new methods are constantly being discovered to shrink them. Now, they have shrunk to the point that they cannot be measured anymore. That is where Nearfield Instruments comes in. We developed new technologies to make AFM so fast and accurate that it can be used as in-line metrology tool in the manufacturing of the most advanced semiconductor devices. This solves one of the biggest challenges for our (potential) customers, which are the largest Semiconductor Manufacturers in the world.
