Light for the digital age With highest precision and SMT technology for digitalization

Our everyday lives are becoming more and more digital: data is transmitted in record time via fiber optics and 5G, we travel with greater ease from A to B in self-driving cars, better results faster thanks to artificial intelligence... All this puts huge pressure on the computing capacity and performance of IT systems – and the semiconductor industry faces the challenge of producing ever smaller, more powerful and energy-efficient computer chips. ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology faces these challenges. We enable chip manufacturers around the world with high-precision optics in the nanometer sector for semiconductor production, for the technology of tomorrow, for the digitization of our everyday lives.

In 1965 – eleven years before Cray-1 – an article by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore appeared in the magazine "Electronics". His statement on the future development of memory devices based on transistors became known as Moore's Law:

More than half a century later, Moore's Law rolls on – and there is no end in sight. ZEISS sets the pace when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what is technologically feasible and continuing to write Gordon Moore's law.
