Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Vulcan Automated Lab, an advanced solution aimed at transforming semiconductor analysis. This system integrates robotic handling with artificial intelligence-enhanced instruments to optimize transmission electron microscopy metrology workflows, enhancing efficiency, increasing semiconductor yield, and reducing operational costs.

As the semiconductor industry advances with miniaturization and increasing complexity, manufacturers require atomic-scale transmission electron microscopy metrology data to maintain efficiency and meet demand. The Vulcan Automated Lab addresses this challenge by automating materials handling and data connectivity, streamlining the metrology data collection process, and bridging the time-to-data gap that traditional methods face.

Thermo Fisher CEO Marc N. Casper emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting semiconductor manufacturers through electron microscopy innovation and artificial intelligence-driven analytical capabilities, enabling higher productivity in semiconductor fabrication facilities.

The Vulcan Automated Lab is now commercially available. More details can be found on Thermo Fisher's website.
