This combines revolutionary thermal-optical actuation with an interferometric measurement system delivering picometer precision and speeds \&amp;gt;100x faster than those achievable with conventional Atomic Force Microscope systems.

This project aims to increase this throughput further by multiplexing the interferometry and actuation across many levers, bringing a further \&amp;gt;10x speed improvement. This will be of direct value to address the metrology challenges impacting the semiconductor fabrication processes of smaller and increasingly 3D features being developed and manufactured currently.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
