ZYGO Corporation Unveils Revolutionary 7702 Optical Profiler for Precision Metrology

San Diego, CA – October 18, 2023 – ZYGO Corporation, a global leader in optical metrology solutions, announced today the launch of its groundbreaking 7702 Optical Profiler, a cutting-edge instrument designed to redefine precision surface measurement across industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and advanced optics.

The ZYGO 7702 combines state-of-the-art interferometry technology with advanced automation capabilities, enabling nanometer-level accuracy for surface characterization. Featuring a modular design and user-friendly interface, the system caters to both high-volume production environments and research laboratories. Key innovations include real-time data processing, enhanced environmental stability, and compatibility with ZYGO’s proprietary MetroPro® software for seamless analysis.

“The 7702 represents a paradigm shift in optical profiling,” said Dr. Lisa Carter, ZYGO’s Chief Technology Officer. “By integrating machine learning algorithms with our legacy expertise in interferometry, we’ve created a tool that not only measures surfaces but also predicts process deviations, empowering manufacturers to achieve unprecedented quality control.”

Engineered to address challenges in next-gen technologies like EUV lithography and compound semiconductor fabrication, the 7702 supports measurements across substrates ranging from super-polished optics to textured materials. Its multi-wavelength capability minimizes measurement ambiguity, while vibration-resistant hardware ensures reliability in dynamic industrial settings.

Early adopters, including a tier-1 semiconductor foundry, reported a 40% reduction in inspection cycle times during beta testing. ZYGO plans to commence shipments in Q1 2024, with customized configurations available for specialized applications.

The unveiling coincides with ZYGO’s 50th anniversary, underscoring the company’s commitment to innovation in precision measurement. Industry analysts anticipate the 7702 to strengthen ZYGO’s market leadership amid growing demand for metrology tools in the AI-driven Industry 4.0 era.
