MultiProbe Inc.,
the world's leading supplier of nanoprobing tools to the semiconductor industry,
has embraced the high quality standards established by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO). Following a rigorous Registrar audit, MultiProbe
recently earned ISO 9001:2008 certification for its quality management system
(QMS).
The company's technology has been recognized for excellence through organizations
such as Semi, ASM, and R&D 100. MultiProbe's Atomic Force Prober (AFP) Nanoprober
allows analysts to characterize a variety of nanoscale devices both physically
and electrically, without the need for a vacuum chamber or under the adverse
influence of a charged electron beam. It reduces Failure Analysis (FA) times
from weeks to hours.
Aside from a long-held commitment to high quality, MultiProbe (www.multiprobe.com)
was motivated by its industry focus to achieve ISO certification. "Our
customers are engineers and manufacturing professionals in very high-tech, ISO
certified organizations. They demand that we think and act with an ISO mindset.
By conforming to ISO 9001:2008 standards, our engineering and manufacturing
teams benefit from the systems implemented to measure and communicate compliance
to specifications. Upon receiving certification, the company as a whole benefits
from the recognition it receives for quality and professionalism. The ISO 9001:2008
certification signifies a standard of excellence we are proud to have met and
committed to defend in coming years," states Andy Erickson, MultiProbe
founder and CEO.
The MultiProbe AFP is currently being used successfully to probe the 22nm technology
node. The company also offers Electrical Characterization Services and hosts
FACES, (Failure Analysis Characterization Expertise Seminars). Open to the entire
FA community, regardless of affiliation, FACES is a live online venue that presents
FA engineers from leading companies with an opportunity to share ideas. All
sessions are recorded and available in an online video archive, http://www.multiprobe.com/technology/videoArchive.php.
MultiProbe worked closely with Change Management Consulting, Inc. (www.cmc-changemanagement.com)
to achieve its ISO 9001 registration. "MultiProbe represents a growing
trend among high-tech companies with innovative technology to embrace formal
quality standards," stated Stanley Cherkasky, CMC's Managing Partner. "We
are pleased to lend our ISO 9001:2008 expertise to help leading-edge organizations
like MultiProbe enjoy the benefits bestowed by ISO certification, including
access to new markets."
