Infinitesima strengthens international expansion.

Infinitesima strengthens international expansion. Monday 26th October 2026 UK metrology firm appoints Jonathan Bryon, Oxford Instruments' former business development director, in new role of VP of corporate affairs Infinitesima, a UK metrology company, has appointed Jonathan Bryon (pictured above) as VP of corporate affairs, creating a new senior role to strengthen the company's international operations and support its continued growth. Bryon brings more than 25 years of leadership experience, most recently as business development director at Oxford Instruments, where he built and led regional organisations across Korea, Taiwan, ASEAN and Oceania. He also established operating entities in Korea and Australia, served on the Oxford Instruments management Board, and led UK government affairs and export-control engagement, working with ministers, senior civil servants and industry bodies. In his new role, Jonathan will lead four key areas: investor relations, particularly with Asia-based investors; UK government and industry relations; trade compliance as export controls on semiconductor equipment evolve; and the establishment and administration of Infinitesima's legal entities across Asia. Based in Taiwan, he will work across the region and the UK, strengthening relationships with investors, government and industry stakeholders while supporting the development of the company's regional operations. The appointment reflects Infinitesima's growing international ambitions and the importance of establishing the business infrastructure to support them. Bringing these responsibilities under dedicated senior leadership will help the company strengthen its presence in key markets and navigate an increasingly complex international operating environment. Peter Jenkins, CEO, Infinitesima, said: "Jonathan joins us at a pivotal point in Infinitesima's development. He brings a rare combination of international leadership, deep experience of Asian markets and an understanding of the wider regulatory and political environment in which our industry operates. This will be invaluable as we strengthen our regional presence and build the capabilities needed to support our long-term growth." Bryon said: "Asia is at the heart of the global semiconductor industry, and Infinitesima has already built strong relationships across the region. I'm looking forward to working with the team to build on those foundations, deepen our engagement with investors, government and industry partners, and support the company's continued development." infinitesima's tools today are targeted at high-volume 300mm manufacturing (supporting customers including SK hynix, and involving collaborations with Imec and ASML) but a spokeperson for Infinitesima told Compound Semiconductor in August 2026 that the technology could equally be applied to compound semiconductors. "The underlying technology and applications would be the same for compound semiconductors. If there is sufficient demand from the compound semiconductor market, the tool can be adapted to accommodate different wafer sizes without changing the core technology."

NANO-MASTER single wafer and mask cleaners provide uniform and reproducible cleaning performance. They incorporate patented damage-free megasonic cleaning, brush and chemical clean and drying in one sequence. The cleaners offer ozonated DI, piranha and heated DIW cleaning with manual load/unload or cassette-to-cassette wafer transfer. Single Wafer NANO-MASTER's Single Wafer Cleaners (SWC) focus on providing the best possible cleaning capability while maintaining affordability. A standard system features a megasonic nozzle for DI water, independent chemical dispenses, and drying performed by high-speed spinning, an IR lamp, and blowing nitrogen. SWC systems move the dispense arm using a patented motion which ensures that the megasonic energy and chemicals are evenly dispersed across the substrate. Depending on the application, further options such as a PVA brush, CO2 injection, or nitrogen ionization can be added. Large Substrate NANO-MASTER's Large Substrate Cleaner (LSC) is a stand-alone cleaner which utilizes PC control for substrates up to 21" OD. A LabVIEW interface through a touchscreen provides greater control compared to the SWC systems and allows for controlled access levels for operators, process engineers, and maintenance personnel. The LSC incorporates the same, patented megasonic technology and chemical dispenses as the SWC systems, but with the combination of LabVIEW control and the larger process chamber. LSCs also support additional options such as ozonated water, high pressure water, pelliclized reticle cleaning, piranha cleaning, and interfacing with bulk chemical storage, along with customized arms for specialized cleaning processes. Automatic handling with robotic load/unload configuration options are available. Four models to choose from: * SWC-3000 Tabletop (Up to 12"wafer or 7"x7"mask) * SWC-4000 Standalone (Up to 12"wafer or 7"x7"mask) * LSC-4000 Large Substrate Cleaner (Up to 21"wafer or 15"x15"mask) * LSC-5000 Cassette-to-Cassette, Large Substrate Cleaner (Up to 21"wafer or 15"x15"mask)

Infinitesima completes Series B investment round led by Maverick Silicon; appoints industry veteran, Oreste Donzella, to Board of Directors

Infinitesima completes Series B investment round led by Maverick Silicon; appoints industry veteran, Oreste Donzella, to Board of Directors. Infinitesima, a UK-based pioneer of advanced process control solutions for the semiconductor industry, today announced the close of a Series B investment round led by Maverick Silicon with participation from several leading strategic investors across the semiconductor industry. This funding marks an important transition for the company - from early technology validation to scaled deployment - building on the strong foundations laid by Infinitesima's existing investors, whose long-standing support has enabled the company to reach this pivotal stage. The new capital will accelerate the expansion of Infinitesima's process control solutions for critical front-end and advanced packaging applications, including hybrid wafer bonding, High-NA EUV lithography, and emerging device architectures such as C-FET transistors, all of which are essential to sustaining Moore's Law. Commenting on the investment, Andrew Dixon, who is stepping down as Chairman of Infinitesima, said, "We welcome our new investors to the Infinitesima family. Their support, alongside that of our existing and highly supportive shareholders, represents a strong endorsement of the company's technology, strategy, and team. We are deeply grateful to our early investors for getting us to this point and excited about what lies ahead as we enter this next phase of growth." "We are delighted to have the support of Maverick Silicon, whose strong network in the semiconductor sector and long-term perspective align closely with our vision," said CEO, Peter Jenkins. As the semiconductor industry faces increasing demands from artificial intelligence and energy-efficient computing, continued process scaling has become more complex and more critical than ever. "Scaling now requires true 3D process control at atomic scale," said Andy Humphris, CTO of Infinitesima. "We are enabling this by delivering revolutionary high-speed, ground-truth 3D surface metrology with atomic resolution - capabilities that are increasingly essential for next-generation devices." "Existing e-beam and optical process control solutions are reaching their limits," said Kenneth Safar, Managing Director at Maverick Silicon. "Infinitesima's unique technology that combines the resolution and 3D capability of AFM together with the speed of optical techniques is truly revolutionary. The company addresses some of the most critical steps in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing and we are excited to support them as they continue to innovate." Infinitesima also announced that Oreste Donzella, former EVP and Chief Strategy Officer at KLA, has joined the Board of Directors. "We are thrilled to welcome Oreste and to benefit from his extensive experience," said Safar. "His deep understanding of customer process control challenges and his strategic leadership will be invaluable as Infinitesima scales." "I am really impressed by the team and what they have developed," said Donzella. "I'm delighted to be working with Peter, Andy, and the board to help Infinitesima address a critical and growing gap in metrology capability."
