Why Non-contact Measurement Matters

In today’s semiconductor manufacturing, non-contact resistance measurement has rapidly emerged as a key technology.
And it’s not just about accuracy.
As wafer integration and miniaturization continue to advance, surface sensitivity increases—
making traditional probe contact methods a major risk for contamination and mechanical damage,
both of which directly impact process yield.
In particular, in metal thin films and new material layers, even slight issues like micro-scratches or residual charge during measurement can cause significant yield variations.
Under these conditions, high-precision non-contact resistance measurement has become more than just an alternative —
it’s now an essential solution for process stability and material reliability.
Today, we’re excited to introduce EDDYTM-300, our latest Eddy Current-based Non-contact Sheet Resistance Measurement System,
engineered to meet the demands of next-generation semiconductor and advanced material applications.
