Highly precise sensor solutions for the semiconductor industry
Production lines in the semiconductor industry must be equipped with the latest sensors in order to meet increasingly stringent quality and cost requirements. This means accurately detecting the smallest of movements, reliably identifying when tolerances are exceeded even slightly, and monitoring processes that are at the limit of what is physically possible. Sensor technology by Micro-Epsilon has been used successfully in the semiconductor industry for many years, with the right solution for any measurement task: be it for complex front-end processes, back-end applications of wafer fab automation.
