Metryx, manufacturer of mass metrology equipment in the UK, is now going after business in Japan with the announcement that Canon Marketing Japan will market Metryx's metrology tools in Japan.
"Finding the right local partner in Japan is of paramount importance when entering the market," stated Adrian Kiermasz, President and CEO of Metryx. "Working in coordination with Canon MJ, we have established the best possible scenario. Along with our recent regional management hires, this is yet another key part of the puzzle we now have in place to give ourselves and our technology the best platform for successful adoption in the global chip manufacturing business."
"The Mentor technology has proven successful in advanced technology nodes in both 200 and 300mm production," said Gary Ditmer, Asia Business Director for Metryx. "Japan is home to a number of the industry's technology leaders, particularly in 300mm volume production, including logic, flash, and DRAM activities. Together with Canon MJ, we look forward to exploiting the opportunities that exist for our technology in Japan."
Metryx has been successful in getting major memory manufacturers to adopt mass metrology for a host of applications and wants to repeat that success in Japan.
