Nearfield Instruments, a Netherlands-based firm whose machines help measure the features on advanced semiconductors, said on Monday it raised $380 million in new funding, bringing its valuation to $1.6 billion. Nearfield makes devices called atomic force microscopes, which can take direct measurements of features of chips that are only a few atoms tall by dragging a probe across their surface, similar to how a needle moves across a vinyl record. Those measurements are taken periodically during the hundreds of steps to make a chip to ensure that the manufacturing process is on track, a field called semiconductor metrology, which is dominated by KLA Corp.
