CAMECA

Since its establishment in 1929, CAMECA has been renowned for its precision mechanics, optics, and electronics. The company began in France as a manufacturer of cinema projectors and soon evolved its products into scientific instruments. Since pioneering Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) in the 1950s and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) in the 1960s, CAMECA has become the undisputed world leader in these technologies while achieving numerous breakthrough innovations in complementary techniques such as Low-Energy Electron-induced X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (LEXES) and 3D Atom Probe. CAMECA has grown from a scientific instrument manufacturer serving the international research community to a supplier of fab and near-fab metrology solutions for semiconductor manufacturing.
