Qcept Technologies Expands Operations to Support Growing Demand for Company's ChemetriQ® Non-Visual Defect Inspection
Qcept to open new demo lab and worldwide customer support center in Silicon Valley; demo lab to support customer evaluations and development of new NVD inspection applications
ATLANTA, Oct. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Qcept Technologies Inc. today announced that it is opening a new facility in Silicon Valley—named Qcept Technologies California—to support the semiconductor industry's growing demand for Qcept's ChemetriQ non-visual defect (NVD) inspection solutions. Located in Fremont, Calif., the new 6,600-square-foot facility will serve as Qcept's worldwide customer support center, as well as include a demo lab for customer evaluations, applications development and training. Qcept plans to have the new facility fully operational by the end of October.
"By expanding our operations and relocating our demo lab to a much larger facility in California, we can better meet the needs of our customers for NVD inspection solutions that help them to improve their new and existing manufacturing processes," stated Bret Bergman, CEO of Qcept Technologies. "Locating our new facility in Fremont not only puts us in closer proximity to several key customers, but also places us near our manufacturing partner, Owens Design, which will enable more seamless integration of our operations and better support of their manufacturing ramp of our systems."
The new demo lab will allow Qcept to work closely with customers in developing new NVD inspection applications to improve their yields at leading-edge design nodes—where NVDs are being driven by new materials, equipment and processes—as well as to reduce manufacturing costs in mainstream fabs. In addition, Qcept Technologies California will house Qcept's worldwide customer support operations, spare parts and office space that will initially accommodate up to 15 employees. The facility includes additional room to further expand operations as needed to support future growth.
In addition to Qcept Technologies California, Qcept houses its product engineering, research and development, and corporate functions at its headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., and its Asia-Pacific customer support operations in Hwaseong, Korea through its subsidiary, Qcept Technologies Korea, which was announced earlier this year.
