Founded in 1979, Micro-Metric is a producer of high-magnification, non-contact critical dimension and coordinate nanometrology systems used in the semiconductor, data storage and MEMs industries. View Engineering provides large-area video and laser-based coordinate measuring systems used for process monitoring and control in the data storage, microelectronics, printed circuit and precision machining industries.
The combination of the two companies strengthens View's capabilities in its core markets of electronic assembly and data storage, and will extend the company's offerings into nanometrology (measurements of less than 0.1 mm). No changes in management or staffing of either company are planned. Micro-Metric will continue to operate from its headquarters in San Jose which includes engineering, manufacturing, marketing and applications support.
Vijay Patel, president of View Engineering, commented, "Micro-Metric brings technological expertise in high magnification microscopy and sub-micron feature measurement to our strengths in high speed, large area metrology systems. Micro-Metric extends our technology roadmap for micro-machined and microelectronic component metrology into the nanoscale realm.
