Advancing Florida’s Semiconductor Ecosystem Through Precision Metrology | Visit Rigaku at Booth 102

Supporting collaboration across Florida’s semiconductor community

Florida’s semiconductor ecosystem encompasses specialty foundries, IDMs, compound semiconductor manufacturers, advanced packaging facilities, defense programs, and university-led research. These organizations encounter diverse challenges with different materials systems, wafer sizes, and technology readiness levels, yet share a common need for measurement confidence and data continuity.

At the Florida Semiconductor Summit, SMD looks forward to engaging with partners across industry, academia, and government on how precision X-ray metrology supports collaborative innovation and scalable manufacturing.

Why metrology matters for partnerships

Effective collaboration depends on a shared technical foundation. Metrology plays a central role in these partnerships by:

  • Establishing shared measurement standards
  • Enabling reproducible, comparable datasets across organizations
  • Supporting technology transfer continuity from research to manufacturing

Together, these capabilities help ensure that innovations developed locally can be translated into reliable, manufacturable processes at scale.

Florida-specific manufacturing and R&D challenges

Across Florida’s semiconductor landscape, partners are addressing challenges such as:
  • Controlling ultra-trace contamination in fabrication and advanced packaging
  • Achieving precise thin-film and epitaxial layer control
  • Characterizing compound semiconductors (GaN, GaAs, InP, SiC)
  • Maintaining lab-to-fab data correlation between universities, pilot lines, and production facilities
Non-destructive X-ray metrology provides a common measurement framework applicable across these environments.

Who this conversation is for

  • Semiconductor manufacturers and foundries
  • Advanced packaging and assembly partners
  • University and research laboratory leaders
  • Defense and high-reliability programs
  • Workforce development and pilot-line initiatives
Whether supporting early-stage research or mature manufacturing, the focus is on measurement continuity, data integrity, and long-term collaboration.

Connect with us at the Summit

We look forward to engaging with partners at the Florida Semiconductor Summit to exchange perspectives on:

  • Shared measurement challenges and best practices
  • Lab-to-fab metrology alignment
  • Collaborative R&D and demonstration opportunities
  • Scaling innovation within Florida’s semiconductor ecosystem
