“We have worked closely with this customer in developing a comprehensive process control metrology solution to support high-volume manufacturing of 3D-NAND devices,” commented Dr. Pierre-Yves Lesaicherre, president and chief executive officer of Nanometrics. “This new selection is another endorsement of our team and technology. Customers recognize our industry-leading applications support and proven solutions for 3D-NAND production flows, minimizing their risks in the key ramp phase of a new factory. By partnering with customers to leverage our extensive experience in 3D process control, our solutions will support rapid factory qualification and in-line process control into all of their 3D-NAND processes.”

The Atlas and IMPULSE platforms provide rapid, non-destructive in-line control for fabrication of advanced 3D-NAND devices, including support for thin film deposition, plasma etch and chemical mechanical polish (CMP). When combined with Nanometrics’ proprietary NanoDiffract 3D modeling and analysis software, the solution enables high-fidelity, high-accuracy insight for complex three-dimensional devices.
