ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology - Enabler for smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips

Work where the morning arises.

About 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. As the heart of any electronically controlled system, You are no longer to think away from our everyday life – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and solutions for process control, ZEISS enables the production of increasingly smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips – and thus decisively shapes the age of microelectronics and nanoelectronics with its innovations.

The Semiconductor Fab Solutions (SMT-SFS) develops electron microscopic solutions for quality control in the semiconductor industry.
