Mitutoyo is strengthening its commitment to the semiconductor industry with the opening of a new Semiconductor Competence Center in Dresden, Germany. Located at the heart of Silicon Saxony, one of Europe's most important microelectronics clusters, the new center represents a strategic investment in the technologies, expertise, and customer support required toadvance semiconductor manufacturing.

As semiconductor production and quality-control devices become increasingly complex and manufacturing tolerances continue to shrink, high-precision measurement and inspection are essential for maintaining quality, process stability, and production efficiency. The Dresden facility brings advanced metrology capabilities closer to manufacturers, suppliers, and technology partners across Europe and beyond.

Metrology for the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing

The Semiconductor Competence Center brings together advanced measurement technologies and industry expertise to address the demanding requirements of chip production. Its capabilities include nanometre-level measurement and inspection, supporting applications where dimensional accuracy, surface characteristics, and geometric precision are critical.

By combining precision measurement equipment with application expertise, the center provides an environment where manufacturers can explore measurement solutions for increasingly sophisticated production challenges. The facility also serves as a platform for training and technical collaboration. Customers and industry professionals can gain practical insights into modern metrology technologies and their specific applications in semiconductor manufacturing environments.

“Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the world's most technologically demanding industries, and metrology plays a fundamental role in enabling its continued development.”

“With our new Semiconductor Competence Center in Dresden, we are investing not only in advanced measurement technology, but also in the knowledge and customer support needed to help our partners meet the challenges of next-generation chip manufacturing,” said Ray Penny, President, Mitutoyo Europe.
