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.

Lam Research has opened a research lab in Salzburg, Austria, to advance a chip packaging technology that promises to increase chip density and cut costs, as the company looks to capitalize on surging AI demand for processors. The U.S. chipmaking tools supplier said on Wednesday that the Salzburg facility will focus on panel-level packaging, which replaces the semiconductor industry's traditional circular silicon wafers with square panels. Square panels can eliminate the dead space, allowing chipmakers to produce more chips per surface at a lower cost per unit — a crucial advantage as AI drives chip shortages.
