“This investment is driven by a clear vision. We want to serve our customers with the highest levels of execution, reliability and speed, while delivering breakthrough metrology and inspection solutions for the next generation of semiconductors. Nearfield is no longer an emerging player; we’re building a global technology company that’s here to stay, scale and lead,” comments CEO Hamed Sadeghian.
