Custom solutions

Prodrive Technologies has a strong track record in developing advanced imaging solutions for metrology applications across the semiconductor, flat panel display and life science industries. In these fields, we excel by delivering an optimized combination of pixel resolution, speed, and sensitivity across multiple domains including E-beam, DUV, visible light, X-ray, and Terahertz imaging.​

Domain expertise

Our strength lies in collaboration with industry leaders to craft tailored imaging solutions. The multidisciplinary nature of Prodrive Technologies allows us to assemble design teams to work closely together with customers and evaluate technical challenges from a system perspective. This will result in the best technical approach for each unique challenge. The solutions we develop are typically primed for long-term production of more than 10 years. To ensure every design is optimized for mass production we already involve manufacturing architects at an early stage in a design project.

From Sensor design to Camera

For the camera solutions we develop, off-the-shelf sensors often fall short. For this reason, our cameras are designed to utilize custom sensors tailored to excel on resolution, sensitivity and pixelrate for a specific application. These sensors are developed within our design-house partner network, where our engineering teams engage early in the process to ensure optimal design decisions that directly benefit the camera architecture later on. Prodrive facilitates this with in-house ISO5 cleanrooms, including a BEOL facility for custom sensor integration. This allows us to take full responsibility for the entire process — from sensor design to final camera assembly. Our true end-to-end approach reduces project complexity and accelerates time-to-market for our customers.

We understand Fab Equipment

Prodrive designs fully customized cameras in close collaboration with our customers. Our multi-disciplinary engineering teams acts as true partners, translating complex equipment requirements into precise camera specifications. Built for high-performance semiconductor and life-science applications, our cameras are engineered to excel under extreme conditions — from ultra-high vacuum environments to active water-cooling systems — while maintaining the thermal stability demanded by next-generation metrology tools. We understand reliability is key in fab equipment and that’s why all Prodrive camera products feature real-time diagnostics of a very broad set of parameters.

End-to-End Proposition

We provide fully custom-developed imaging systems for applications with the most stringent requirements—where off-the-shelf cameras and sensors fall short. 

Our end-to-end approach sets us apart:

We design and manufacture cameras around custom imaging sensors that achieve the perfect balance of resolution, speed, and sensitivity. Our design teams support sensor design houses in design choices that enable a smooth integration during the camera design process. Our manufacturing services cover the whole process “from Wafer to Camera”. This includes probing and dicing of finished wafers into sensors and the integration of these sensors into a camera.
Prodrive is vertically integrated offering includes high- bandwidth cameras and data processing solutions to enable real-time processing of the enormous amounts of measurement data generated by today's metrology equipment. This holistic approach empowers our customers to realize next- generation imaging systems that deliver unmatched performance and reliability.
