Vitrek
High-Accuracy Measurement Tools from Silicon to Final Solution

Vitrek makes test and measurement solutions for everything from processors to power chips. The company’s broad industry presence is, in part, by design.
Vitrek is the union of three complementary companies. Each delivers unique high-precision solutions:

- MTI Instruments delivers high-precision, non-contact, capacitive measurement tools.

- GaGe specializes in high-resolution, high-speed digitizer cards.

- Vitrek, now the parent brand, is renowned for precise hi-voltage measurement products.

“Before being merged, each of our companies had established a presence in the industry, addressing the need for high precision in unique ways that addressed critical needs,” says Sam Cremin, vice president of marketing.

The Proforma 300 iSA, a flagship product in MTI’s product portfolio, offers full wafer scanning and thickness accuracy to +/- 0.25μ—the equivalent of a smaller-sized inhaled smoke particle. The tool delivers raw mapping data as well as full 3-D images. It can highlight shape changes to wafers before and after processing, including film and coating stress calculations.

What sets the GaGe digitizer cards apart is not just the high resolution of their cards. It’s their ability to stream vast amounts of data at speeds capable of triggering a production line stop in milli-seconds. Typically integrated into larger solutions, the cards have been adopted to:
- Measure ion density and thickness in deposition equipment.

- Ultrasonically image bonds between chipsets and substrates.

- Detect minor noise frequency changes that indicate MOSFET defects.

- Rapidly ground power chips during thermal cycling, allowing more chips to be tested simultaneously.

As such, the GaGe products are the chameleons of the Vitrek family—they can be paired with different sensors and PCIe bus-based products for a range of applications.

While Vitrek high-voltage products are often sold as free-standing units, they are also used in larger equipment, such as ion implanters and automated test systems.

Vitrek’s accurate, rapid response product line reduces waste and accelerates the throughput of very precise chips. This ensures that only high-quality ICs, wafers and transistors proceed through production and testing, making the semiconductor market one of Vitrek’s most promising growth areas.

Adding to its growing name recognition, the testing products’ reputation for excellence is fortified by the trust of globally recognized compliance and standards organizations, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Underwriters Laboratories. These institutions now use Vitrek’s equipment in their testing labs, which is a testament to the product’s recognized quality and durability.
Manufactured in the U.S., Vitrek’s portfolio of products pairs American ingenuity with a global reach. A robust distribution network ensures these innovative solutions are available worldwide, while U.S.-based servicing guarantees rapid turnaround times and reliable product support.

“While Asian markets remain vital, growth in the U.S. and western regions is accelerating, driven by strategic initiatives like the CHIPS Act,” says Ken Ameika, vice president of sales. “We are well-positioned to serve customers across these geographies.”

Vitrek’s promise to stay ahead of industry trends is deeply embedded in its culture, reflected in its proactive knowledge acquisition and market engagement. It leverages a variety of channels to remain at the forefront of technological advancements and industry needs. From attending trade shows— whether as exhibitors or participants—to actively engaging with industry associations, the company prioritizes staying informed about the latest developments shaping the semiconductor and electrification sectors.

The pace of technical progress is persistent, and in this high-stake game, Vitrek is the required change. With its products designed to perform flawlessly for years, minimizing the need for repairs and maximizing customer confidence, Vitrek ensures every microchip is perfect before it powers the next leap forward.
