Precision Begins Long Before Production
Every nanometre matters.
As semiconductor devices become smaller and manufacturing processes more complex, precision is more important than ever. Reliable inspection, measurement and process control are essential for improving yield, ensuring quality and accelerating innovation.
Laser 2000 enables semiconductor manufacturers, equipment OEMs and research organisations develop advanced optical solutions that transform measurement data into better manufacturing decisions.
Connecting Photonics for Semiconductor Innovation.
Your Challenge
Semiconductor manufacturing demands absolute precision.
Manufacturers must detect defects earlier, reduce process variance and improve yield — all while increasing throughput and controlling costs. Selecting the right inspection and measurement strategy has become just as critical as the manufacturing process itself.
The challenge doesn’t lie in collecting more data. It’s generating the right insight to optimise every manufacturing step.
How Photonics Helps
Photonics enables manufacturers to inspect, measure and monitor critical processes throughout semiconductor production.
From Semiconductor Metrology and optical inspection to material analysis and process monitoring, photonic technologies provide the reliable data needed to improve quality, strengthen process control and support next-generation manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Semiconductor Metrology?
Semiconductor Metrology refers to the precise optical measurement of critical dimensions, surface properties and layer characteristics throughout the manufacturing process. It provides the data needed to detect process deviations early, maintain tight parameter control and support consistent yield at advanced technology nodes.
How can optical inspection improve yield?
Early detection of defects, contamination and process deviations helps reduce scrap, improve consistency and increase manufacturing efficiency. Optical inspection systems identify issues at the earliest possible stage — before they propagate through the production line and affect a larger proportion of output.
How does Laser 2000 support semiconductor manufacturers?
Laser 2000 works alongside semiconductor manufacturers, equipment OEMs and research organisations to identify the right optical technologies for each application. From initial feasibility studies to complete system support, we help customers reduce development risk and deliver measurable improvements in process performance.
