Nanometrics is a leading provider of advanced, high-performance process control metrology and inspection systems used primarily in the fabrication of semiconductors and other solid-state devices, such as data storage components and discretes including high-brightness LEDs and power management components. Nanometrics’ automated and integrated metrology systems measure critical dimensions, device structures, overlay registration, topography and various thin film properties, including film thickness as well as optical, electrical and material properties. The company’s process control solutions are deployed throughout the fabrication process, from front-end-of-line substrate manufacturing, to high-volume production of semiconductors and other devices, to advanced wafer-scale packaging applications. Nanometrics’ systems enable advanced process control for device manufacturers, providing improved device yield at reduced manufacturing cycle time, supporting the accelerated product life cycles in the semiconductor market. Nanometrics was incorporated in California in 1975. Nanometrics has been publicly traded since 1984 and is listed on NASDAQ (NANO). We have been a pioneer and innovator in the field of optical metrology. Nanometrics has an extensive installed base of more than 6,500 systems in over 150 production factories worldwide. Our major customers and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners include the largest semiconductor and process equipment manufacturers in the world.
Advanced Metrology Systems LLC is a Natick, MA-based company in the Computers and Electronics sector.
Founded in 2014 by experienced industry leaders and scientists from University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Cornell University, Akoustis` mission is to commercialize and manufacture its patent-pending Bulk ONE™ acoustic wave technology to address the critical frequency-selectivity requirements in today`s mobile smartphones – improving the efficiency and signal quality of Mobile Wireless devices and enabling The Internet of Things. The Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter market is rapidly expanding, driven by growth in 4G/LTE and the number of filters required per device. Nearly 2 billion mobile phones are manufactured per year, and over half are in the growing segment of high-end smartphones. Because these smartphones need to operate globally, on more than one carrier, and with bands that are becoming ever-closer together, the need for higher-performance filters is upon us to ensure mobile compatibility. 4G/LTE networks are driving the need for higher frequencies, and traditional SAW filters simply cannot provide the necessary coverage and performance, as evidenced by the growing mix of BAW filters in the mobile phone. Akoustis™ addresses this critical mobile-wireless need by using single crystal piezoelectric materials to create a new class of acoustic wave filters – improving performance, lowering cost and driving miniaturization. Akoustis` Bulk ONE™ filters originate from materials which exhibit 30% better acoustic performance when compared to the incumbent thin-film technologies deployed today. Akoustis` business model is capital efficient, which leverages decades of cap-x investments in the semiconductor industry. Founded in 2014, Akoustis™ is located in the piedmont technology corridor between Charlotte and Raleigh.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, NUVIA was founded on the promise of reimagining silicon design for high-performance computing environments. The company is focused on building products that blend the best attributes of compute performance, power efficiency and scalability.
