ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology​

 ​

Enabler for smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips​

 ​

Working for tomorrow today. ​

Around 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are produced using ZEISS technologies. As the centerpiece of every electronically controlled system, they have become an integral part of our everyday lives – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS enables the production of ever smaller, increasingly powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips, and thus plays a pivotal role in the age of micro- and nanoelectronics.

The Maintenance Management area (SMT-OM) is responsible for maintenance processes of SMT secondary equipment and consolidates all manufacturing-related topics. The setup and integration of equipment into the SMT core competencies—such as optical metrology systems and interferometry—create an optimal interface to R&D. In addition, these assets must be kept in good working order through preventive maintenance and repairs.
