Product overview

ATSL (Advanced Technological Solutions) is an Israeli company that serves as a distributor and integrator of scientific instruments, representing leading manufacturers from the USA and Europe. The product portfolio is a distributed platform of specialized measurement, inspection, and fabrication equipment rather than a unified product line. The offerings span two main categories: Measurement & Inspection Systems (including automated optical inspection via Nanotronics nSpec, thin film measurement via Film Sense ellipsometers and SemiconSoft reflectometers, GBS Metrology optical profilers, Suragus sheet resistance systems, Optotherm infrared microscopes, and PhaseView 3D imaging) and Nano-Fabrication Equipment (including Arradiance ALD systems, Semicore sputtering/evaporation systems, Glow Research and ibss plasma ashers/cleaners, and D.M.O direct write lithography). With 25 years of experience, the company provides comprehensive solutions to manufacturing and research organizations in semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemistry, polymers and optics sectors.
