Motic Installs New Fluorescence Semiconductor Microscope

Posted by Motic America on

On Friday 24th February 2023, Motic’s Asia team in conjunction with their distributors Bio-Gene completed the installation of a new Motic PA53MET-FL with a LUMOS unit. The unit was set up inside the cleanroom of the semiconductor fabrication research facility of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at HKU.

This was the first installation of this unit in the Asia Pacific region. The microscope’s fluorescence capabilities will be used to examine the level of quality and any potential contamination in the fabrication process of semiconductor chips designed by university researchers. The process of manufacturing semiconductor chips requires specialized equipment along with know-how, and Motic is proud to be able to contribute to this research and development.
