SUMMARY:SEMICON West 2026
DESCRIPTION:Meet Optikos at SEMICON West 2026\nOctober 13-15\, 2026 | Moscone Center | San Francisco\, CA | Booth 3034\, North Hall \nOptikos is exhibiting at SEMICON West 2026. This event is where the global microelectronics industry comes together to explore the technologies shaping the future of semiconductor manufacturing. \nVisit Booth 3034 in the North Hall to meet the Optikos team. Explore how precision optical engineering\, metrology\, and manufacturing can address demanding requirements in semiconductor equipment and advanced imaging applications. \nVisit Us at Booth 3034\nWhat to see: Featured Demo: Microscope Objectives | Engineering & Manufacturing Services \nWhat to discuss: Custom optical systems\, semiconductor metrology\, lithography applications\, precision imaging\, and production ready optical solutions \nWho to Meet: \nByron Seabolt\nSenior Business Development Manager \nMerrill Apter\nKey Account Director \nBenjamin Masella\, PhD\nPrincipal Optical Engineer \nHave a challenging optical requirement? Email sales@optikos.com to schedule a conversation with our team at SEMICON West. \nSchedule a Meeting \nFeatured Demo: Microscope Objectives\nCustom High NA\, Large FOV Microscope Objectives\nSee how Optikos designs\, manufactures\, and qualifies high performance microscope objectives for demanding imaging applications. Our custom objectives combine high numerical aperture\, large fields of view\, and full field wavefront metrology. These features verify optical performance across the complete imaging field. \nOptikos also offers a growing library of pre engineered objective designs that can be tailored to specific application requirements. These proven designs can help accelerate time to hardware and reduce upfront engineering costs while maintaining demanding optical performance. For more specialized requirements\, our engineering team can develop a fully custom solution. \nTalk to Our Optical Engineering Team \nPrecision Optical Engineering for Semiconductor Manufacturing\nSemiconductor manufacturing increasingly depends on optical systems capable of delivering precise\, repeatable performance across demanding inspection\, metrology\, and lithography applications. \nOptikos combines optical engineering\, precision manufacturing\, and metrology within a single development workflow. Our engineers work with semiconductor equipment manufacturers to develop custom optical solutions. These are designed around specific system requirements rather than relying solely on off the shelf components. \nOur semiconductor capabilities include:\nWafer Overlay Metrology\nCustom imaging modules engineered for demanding wafer overlay applications\, with documented designs\, rigorous qualification\, and production manufacturing. \nLithography and Process Monitoring Optics\nPrecision optical solutions supporting demanding imaging and measurement requirements in semiconductor equipment. \nPolarization Metrology and Interferometry\nCustom metrology solutions for applications requiring precise polarization characterization\, wavefront measurement\, and optical performance verification. \nCustom Optical and Opto-Mechanical Assemblies\nFrom initial requirements through design\, qualification\, and production\, Optikos provides an integrated path. This takes customers from concept to hardware. \nSee Our Semiconductor Case Studies\nA semiconductor equipment manufacturer faced supply chain and performance risks from an off the shelf imaging module that had undergone multiple supplier revisions and was ultimately approaching end of life. \nOptikos designed and manufactured a fully custom imaging module. They took ownership of the optical and mechanical design while qualifying the assembly against the customer’s requirements. \nKey outcomes: \n100% design ownership\nThe customer gained complete optical and mechanical IP. This provided greater control over future changes and tool generations. \nSupply chain resilience\nThe custom\, documented design eliminated the end of life risk associated with the previous off the shelf module. \nProduction ready performance\nQualified modules were manufactured in production quantities and delivered ready for integration into the customer’s next generation wafer overlay system. \nRead the Wafer-Overlay Metrology Case Study \nOptikos developed a custom polarimeter for a global semiconductor equipment manufacturer. This customer required extremely precise polarization measurement within a compact lithography metrology system. \nKey outcomes: \n50\,000:1 extinction ratio\nAchieved an extinction ratio of approximately 50\,000:1. This met an exceptionally demanding performance requirement. \nPrecision angular calibration\nEstablished the polarization axis to within thousandths of a degree relative to mechanical datums. \n12+ year production partnership\nA one time development project evolved into a sustained production relationship. The system continues across multiple generations of semiconductor equipment. \nRead the Semiconductor Lithography Case Study \nFrom Optical Design to Production\nIn addition to optical design\, Optikos provides integrated capabilities. These allow semiconductor OEMs to move from requirements and engineering through metrology\, manufacturing\, qualification\, and ultimately into production. \nDesign Ownership and Supply Chain Security\nWhen a critical optical component is controlled by an external supplier\, design changes and product discontinuation can create significant risks for long lifecycle equipment. \nOptikos can provide documented\, customer owned optical and mechanical designs that give OEMs greater control over future revisions\, qualification\, and production. \nMetrology First\nWe use rigorous measurement and qualification throughout the development process. This helps verify that optical systems perform to specification. \nOur metrology capabilities support objective qualification\, wavefront measurement\, polarization characterization\, and precision verification\, helping customers move from engineering development to production with greater confidence. \nEngineering and Manufacturing in One Workflow\nOptikos combines optical engineering with precision manufacturing and opto-mechanical integration. This integrated approach allows designs to be developed with production requirements in mind from the beginning. \nThe result is a path from concept to qualified hardware to production without unnecessary handoffs between disconnected suppliers. \nMeet Optikos at SEMICON West\nWhether you are developing semiconductor capital equipment\, advancing metrology capabilities\, or facing a challenging optical requirement\, our team is available to discuss your application. \nVisit Optikos at Booth 3034 in the North Hall at SEMICON West 2026. \nOctober 13 to 15\, 2026\nMoscone Center\nSan Francisco\, California \nLet’s Talk About Your Optical Challenge\nEmail sales@optikos.com to connect with the Optikos team and arrange a conversation at SEMICON West.
