Semiconductor Metrology Solution

Semiconductor Application

Precision Metrology for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Measurement solutions for semiconductor equipment, precision components and critical parts where dimensional accuracy, geometry and consistency matter.

CMM Dimensional Inspection
3D Scanning Surface & CAD Analysis
Industrial CT Internal Inspection

Measure the components behind semiconductor production.

Semiconductor manufacturing depends on equipment and components that must perform consistently across demanding production environments.

From precision-machined parts and ceramic components to valves, fixtures, consumables and wafer-handling hardware, dimensional variation can affect fit, alignment and equipment performance.

GTS combines ZEISS metrology technologies with application knowledge to help manufacturers inspect critical components, verify dimensional requirements and generate measurement data for engineering and quality decisions.

CMM Defined dimensions & geometric tolerances
3D Full-field surface measurement
CT Internal & external inspection
CAD Digital comparison & deviation analysis

Metrology for the components that keep semiconductor equipment running.

Different components require different measurement approaches. GTS helps identify the appropriate inspection technology based on geometry, material, accessibility and measurement requirements.
