CEO Interview with Peter Jenkins of Infinitesima

What happened

This is an interview with Peter Jenkins, CEO of UK semiconductor metrology company Infinitesima, and is background information with no price movement or supply event. Key facts: Infinitesima is based near Oxford in the UK, founded in 2001 as a spin-out from the University of Bristol, and for the best part of twenty-five years has been developing technology enabling direct Angstrom-scale 3D measurement of chip features; its high-speed hybrid optical/AFM Rapid Probe Microscope (RPM) technology is being deployed in production as a fully automated in-line system, the Metron 3D; the company has a growing global team of over 140 and works with SK hynix, imec and ASML, with SK hynix having put the Metron 3D through a rigorous evaluation demonstrating its ability to meet high-volume manufacturing requirements. Before joining Infinitesima, Jenkins spent 27 years at ASML (stated as twenty-eight years elsewhere in the text), and previously began his career in semiconductor process engineering at Plessey Research and LSI Logic. Its strongest application area today is hybrid bonding, central to advanced packaging, high bandwidth memory and heterogeneous integration (copper pad recess and dishing measurement), and it runs a three-year programme with imec focused on Hybrid Wafer Bonding, High NA EUV and CFET transistor structures; it is also developing Multiprobe, which scans with many probes in parallel. The source does not state the cause of any event; the article contains no reported price, capacity or supply-demand changes.
