Overview
Invisix Measuring Systems develops a soft X-ray metrology platform that non-destructively images buried nanoscale chip structures. It uses High Harmonic Generation (HHG) to create soft X-rays, paired with proprietary reconstruction algorithms and machine learning to produce 3D images of features that are difficult or impossible to resolve with traditional optical tools. The system is designed for high-throughput, high-volume semiconductor manufacturing and targets complex, 3D devices in HPC and AI. Differentiators include the HHG-based soft X-ray source, bespoke reconstruction/ML techniques, and integrated validation with major players (e.g., Intel, imec) to enable rapid customer demos and progression toward commercial systems. Invisix’s goal is to bring its first commercial system to market, scale production, and support customers with reliable, non-destructive metrology for next-generation chips.

What believers are saying
- June 2026 oversubscribed €20 million seed funded team growth and commercialization.
- New Eindhoven cleanroom now hosts customer demos alongside a 300mm-wafer-capable testbench.
- imec.xpand booth demos at ITF World 2026 signaled active ecosystem pull and visibility.
What critics are saying
- First shippable system still unproven; semiconductor fabs demand reliability before 2027 purchases.
- Heavy dependence on ASML licensing and one tier-one seed investor raises concentration risk.
- If throughput misses fab requirements, Invisix stays a lab curiosity and loses market access.
What makes Invisix Measuring Systems unique
- HHG soft-x-ray metrology resolves buried 3D chip structures optical tools miss.
- ASML alumni Christina Porter and Sietse van der Post bring deep metrology expertise.
- ASML licensing plus Intel and imec demonstrations validate a differentiated measurement stack.
