The moment tomorrow arrives today.

semiconductor Manufacturing Technology

The field of microelectronics has made major advances and undergone rapid development in recent years. The greatest challenges are now found in the ongoing evolution of semiconductor technology – laying the foundation for the next major leaps in technology. ZEISS is an innovative pioneer in this field.

smartphones, game consoles, laptops, high-capacity servers for the internet: microchips are the heart of these electronic devices. Lithography systems from Zeiss play a key role in the production of such memory types and processors. They enable the manufacture of increasingly compact, powerful and affordable microchips. similar to exposing camera film, these optics project the fine chip structures onto a silicon wafer, the raw material of the chips. Zeiss also develops infrastructure devices for the manufacture of semiconductors and for quality inspection in chip fabrication.
