Wooptix, a Madrid-based innovator in semiconductor metrology leveraging wavefront section imaging expertise, has raised over €10 million in a Sequence C funding spherical to speed up growth of its flagship product, Phemet® – a semiconductor metrology Fabtool.
The spherical was led by Samsung Enterprise Funding Company and Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT) with participation from current traders, together with the European Innovation Council Fund (EIC Fund), Intel Capital, MONDRAGON Company, and TEL Enterprise Capital, Inc.
“The funding permits us to push the boundaries in decision high quality throughout the semiconductor expertise panorama,” mentioned José Manuel Rodriguez Ramos, CEO of Wooptix. “Continued help from our traders has allowed us to introduce our semiconductor metrology Fabtool to international markets and ship progressive options to a global buyer base.”
Based in 2014 by Javier Elizalde, Wooptix focuses on semiconductor metrology by means of using wavefront section imaging, a way derived from analysis in adaptive optics for astronomy. With a multidisciplinary staff, and a flagship product, Phemet®, Wooptix is furthering semiconductor metrology with the “highest lateral decision and quickest measurement method for in-line manufacturing facility measurements”.
Based on Wooptix, the surging demand for AI has positioned unprecedented strain on the semiconductor manufacturing business to provide more and more complicated and miniaturised chips. Conventional instruments usually fall in need of the precision, automation, and effectivity required to satisfy right this moment’s manufacturing wants.
Wooptix appears to be like to handle this problem with metrology instruments that quickly and precisely detect nanoscale defects, setting a brand new customary for velocity and accuracy throughout the manufacturing processes.
“Wooptix and its superior semiconductor metrology expertise are a testomony to the innovation within the IT ecosystem,” said a Samsung consultant. “This funding reinforces our management in AI and enhanced linked experiences, which in the end outline the aim of semiconductors.”
Wooptix continues to show market innovation with the latest launch of its flagship product, Phemet®, a semiconductor metrology Fabtool. Phemet® delivers lateral decision and close to real-time course of functionality, considerably decreasing manufacturing occasions and rising provide chain effectivity.
“The Phemet functionality of gathering over 16 million information factors with sub-nanometer top decision allows semiconductor producers to scale back power waste throughout manufacturing,” explains Ramos. “Already adopted by main semiconductor producers, Phemet® is on observe for full automation and manufacturing facility flooring deployment for in-line testing within the coming months.”
The Minister of Digital Transformation, Oscar López, has praised Wooptix as a “success story“: “From rising Funding in Analysis, and its switch of information from the College to the Firm, to the Territorial Structuring of Authorities Investments, aimed on the financial sectors of the long run”, he defined.
With a global presence throughout Europe, america, and Asia with headquarters in Spain, Wooptix is positioned for international progress.
The brand new funding will speed up product growth, broaden worldwide attain, and scale the corporate’s staff to satisfy rising business demand.
