Microtronic Inc.

Founded in 1994, Microtronic, Inc. is a US-based company that designs, manufacturers, and markets automated semiconductor wafer defect inspection equipment, semiconductor wafer sorters, and semiconductor metrology tools and equipment to semiconductor manufacturers, fabrication plants and device manufacturers throughout the world.

Microtronic is headquartered in Hawthorne, New York, about 30 minutes north of Manhattan. Microtronic solutions are manufactured in the USA.

After identifying a need for better automation, imaging, accuracy, and throughput in the rapidly evolving semiconductor manufacturing market, Microtronic’s President, Reiner Fenske, founded Microtronic. He brought the experience of a successful career with Zeiss Semiconductor to the new venture.

High Throughput Wafer Inspection

Initially Microtronic designed new robotics applications and software that automated and enhanced the speed of wafer defect inspection. These solutions were packaged in an extremely user-friendly inspection environment. These early automated systems were an immediate success with Tier-1 semiconductor manufacturers and remain the foundation of Microtronic’s commitment to the semiconductor wafer defect inspection market.
Innovation, Growth & Recognition

In a few short years Microtronic claimed many of the names on the Top 20 list of the largest semiconductor manufacturers as clients. This was a result of the success of their advanced microscopes, defect inspection software, semiconductor wafer sorters and automated macro defect inspection equipment. 

Today – Complete Integrated Product Line of Auto Macro Defect Inspection Equipment, Sorters, Metrology

Microtronic continues its commitment to developing market leading integrated macro defect inspection equipment, wafer sorters, and metrology solutions for the semiconductor manufacturing market. Today, all of our products offer superior investment protection and ROI by providing integrated solutions that are modular so you can still benefit from stand alone solutions when your application calls for it. This offers our clients a flexible, cost-effective upgrade path. This is beneficial when new requirements can still be met with existing equipment that can be easily extended to meet new needs.

Microtronic SITEview Software integrates with Microtronic auto macro defect inspection tools, wafer sorters, robots, and microscopes. We strive to grow with our customers’ needs and maximize their ROI and cost of ownership of all equipment purchases. That’s why our clients have a more flexible approach to defect inspection. As a result, you only buy what you need.
