In addition to offering its own set of plugins and drivers, Gigaphoton will promote FABSCAPE™ and its revolutionary open platform by offering a rich set of Developer Tools, including a robust Application Programming Interfaces (API), sample code, tutorials, and workshops. Furthermore, Gigaphoton plans to make the FABSCAPE™ platform available online to device manufacturers as well as other equipment manufacturers and third parties interested in participating in a community to build and distribute solutions based on a common, open platform.
“I am extremely pleased to be able to enter the next phase of our software strategy through the release FABSCAPE™," said Katsumi Uranaka, president and CEO of Gigaphoton. “Making sense of the enormous volumes of data generated by varying semiconductor manufacturing tools continues to be a challenge for our customers. I strongly feel that while it is our mission to continue offering new and innovative software solutions, it is equally important to adequately empower users to quickly and easily develop their own custom solutions for the unique problems they face. I am confident that FABSCAPE™’s bold new open software approach can allow device manufacturers to gain a deeper and more uniform understanding of equipment data and help spark new innovations through collaboration, and partnerships both inside and outside of our traditional industry players, contributing to the further growth of our industry.”
The first edition of FABSCAPE™ will be available in March 2018.
* “FABSCAPE™” will be introduced at “SPIE Advanced Lithography”, Session 10 (1st March), which will be held in San Jose, California from 25th February to 1st March, 2018.
