About Nearfield Instruments
Nearfield Instruments (NFI) is a fast-growing scale-up high-tech company. We design, develop, integrate, market and service advanced metrology machines. Our machines enable our customers — the world's leading chipmakers — to increase the production yields, and thus, functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.
