What Eumetrys does

Eumetrys is a French-based specialty distributor and service provider for semiconductor metrology and inspection equipment, founded in 2012 by Yannick Bedin and operating as SAS EUMETRYS. The company holds exclusive distribution rights for several partner manufacturers' equipment lines: ONTO Innovation IVS systems in Europe and Israel (CD and overlay optical metrology), YGK particle scanners globally, ETAMAX photoluminescence systems in Europe, and TOHO Technology products. It operates from headquarters in Meylan (France), with offices in Saarbrücken (Germany), Hyannis, MA (USA), and Gaillac (France), supported by regional sales directors and channel partners (Merconics in Germany, ABSEMI in Italy). The company also runs a wholly owned robotics division (Eumetrys Robotics) for handling robot repair and refurbishment.

The core product portfolio addresses automated optical critical dimension (CD) and overlay measurement (IVS 220/280/380), particle contamination detection on transparent and opaque substrates down to 0.1μm (YPI-MX and YPI-MX-DC), photoluminescence mapping for compound semiconductors (PLATO, PLATO-NiR, MiPLATO SiC, PLIMA-LED), interferometric layer thickness measurement (EFiT-TT), and material characterization via electrochemical CV profiling, Hall effect, and film stress (TOHO products). Technical specifications include sub-nanometer 3-sigma precision, 1nm TIS, throughput of 165 wafers/hour, and 0.1nm layer thickness resolution. The company serves semiconductor manufacturers across multiple verticals including standard silicon fabs, compound semiconductors (GaN, GaAs, SiC, InP), MEMS, power devices, LEDs/micro-LEDs, VCSELs, photonics, and research institutes, with named customers including STMicroelectronics, X-FAB, CEA-LETI, ABB Switzerland, and ACCELINK Denmark.

Eumetrys generates revenue through multiple streams: new and refurbished equipment sales, recurring maintenance contracts with tiered response times (48 hours, 72 hours, or one week), spare parts supply, training services, and Eumetrys Robotics repair/refurbishment. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with regional sales directors in France, Germany, and the USA, supplemented by business development partners. The installed base spans approximately 40 European production sites. Marketing is built on SEMICON Europa participation, SPIE technical publications, customer testimonials, and selective media engagement (Forbes France, BFM Business). The company is privately held with no external institutional investors disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Camtek: Israeli semiconductor inspection company focused on optical and 2D/3D inspection of advanced packaging, compound semiconductors, and wafers. Comparable to Eumetrys' YPI Clear Scanner particle inspection and transparent-substrate metrology offerings.
• HORIBA: Parent group of ETAMAX, whose PLATO systems Eumetrys distributes in Europe. HORIBA's broader scientific instruments portfolio (including semiconductor characterization) makes it a peer both as upstream partner and as a comparable metrology equipment provider.
• Bruker Corporation: Broad scientific instruments company with semiconductor metrology and characterization tools (X-ray, AFM, XRD). Comparable to Eumetrys' material characterization portfolio (Hall effect, ECV, interferometry) for fab and research lab customers.
• Onto Innovation: Parent of the IVS product line that Eumetrys exclusively distributes in Europe/Israel. Onto Innovation is a publicly traded US semiconductor metrology and inspection equipment company — direct upstream partner and the most relevant comparable for Eumetrys' core CD/overlay business.
• Lasertec: Japanese specialty metrology company known for EUV mask blank inspection and compound-semiconductor inspection. Comparable to Eumetrys' ETAMAX PLATO photoluminescence and defect-classification portfolio in the compound semi space.
• KLA Corporation: Global leader in semiconductor process control and yield management. KLA's broad metrology and inspection portfolio (including overlay, CD, and particle inspection) competes with the IVS, YPI, and ETAMAX systems Eumetrys distributes at leading-edge nodes.
• Nova Measuring Instruments: Israeli semiconductor metrology company specializing in optical CD, overlay, and thin-film metrology for advanced nodes. Direct competitive overlap with IVS CD and overlay offerings, especially in the European and Israeli fab footprint where Eumetrys operates.

Direct peers

• Park Systems: Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanometrology company serving semiconductor fabs and research labs. Adjacent but overlapping with Eumetrys' optical and interferometric metrology portfolio in fab characterization use cases.
• TOHO Technology: Japanese manufacturer of ECV profilers, film stress (FLX), Hall effect (HL9900), and spectroscopic reflectometers (TohoSpec) — directly analogous to the ECV Pro+ and TohoSpec product lines Eumetrys distributes, and its official distribution partner.

Emerging players

• Raintree Scientific: Emerging player in semiconductor metrology with European focus, including particle inspection and overlay tools. Competes with Eumetrys for European fab customers and represents a newer-generation competitor in the same niche.
