SUWON, South Korea, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Park Systems Corp. today announced the acquisition of Lyncée Tec SA, a Swiss pioneer in Digital Holographic Microscope (DHM®) technology. This acquisition by Park Systems strengthens their optical metrology business, following its 2022 acquisition of Accurion GmbH, the world's leading manufacturer of Imaging Spectroscopic Ellipsometers (ISE).

Park Systems, world-leading manufacturer of Atomic Force Microscopes, has the longest history of AFM business in the industry. The company has developed a global sales network of over 30 countries and has more than 1000 AFMs in use around the world. It is the fastest growing AFM company with more than 120 full time employees dedicated to producing the most accurate and easiest to use AFMs. Park Systems world-wide Locations can be found here: http://www.parkafm.com/index.php/company/locations

Founded in 2003 by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Lyncée Tec has been at the forefront of developing and commercializing DHM®. Based on hologram technology, DHM ® acquires 3D information of a sample over the full field of view without scanning, producing unrivaled imaging speed, more than 100´ faster than conventional interferometry-based optical profiling. Combined with its compact design, this makes DHM® a powerful and versatile measurement tool.   Applications span materials science, life science, MEMS, and manufacturing.  The company's two decades of expertise in holographic imaging have earned it a reputation for delivering reliable, high-performance instruments that meet the dual demands of accuracy and efficiency for research and industrial production.

"This acquisition represents a pivotal step in our journey to become an equipment company with a comprehensive suite of solutions for semiconductor processes," said Dr. Sang-il Park, Founder and CEO of Park Systems. "Park Systems will integrate Lyncée Tec's DHM technology into our Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) platform and build a fully automated DHM system, targeting various semiconductor applications, especially advanced packaging."

"We're excited to become part of the Park Systems family," added Dr. Yves Emery, Founder and CEO of Lyncée Tec. "With this move, the pioneers and leaders of AFM and DHM are joining forces to make DHM even more efficient and disruptive, redefining what is possible in nanoscale metrology.  We are confident DHM will gain the visibility it deserves and establish itself as the premium imaging solution for fast, robust 3D measurements."

"Park Systems has a model experience of commercializing AFM from a laboratory instrument to a semiconductor nanometrology solution," added Dr. Etienne Cuche, inventor of DHM® technology and Founder and CTO of Lyncée Tec.  "Significant gains are expected from Park Systems' global coverage and operational capabilities.  Having created the world's very first DHM in a laboratory 25 years ago, I humbly reflect on all the systems installed around the world and all the applications developed with our customers, to whom I am extremely grateful for having brought us to this moment."
