Nearfield meraih US$380 juta untuk metrologi chip AI. Intinya jelas: The Dutch company closed a $380 million Series D at a $1.6 billion valuation, calling it the largest deep-tech round in Dutch history.
Lapisan berikutnya membuat cerita ini lebih penting: Its QUADRA platform uses non-destructive, high-throughput 3D nanoscale metrology to inspect trenches, sidewalls, vias and stacked structures in advanced chips.
Yang perlu dilihat berikutnya adalah eksekusi. As AI chips push manufacturing toward 3D architectures, yield control makes metrology equipment a strategic bottleneck, not a back-office tool.
