Our journey began at ETH Zurich, with a discovery that offered a new way to tackle one of semiconductor manufacturing’s toughest challenges. Particle contamination on wafers is a major risk—and as chips get smaller, it becomes hard to know what’s actually on the wafer. Without that insight, problems persist and process improvements stall.
In 2019, we founded UNISERS AG and built our first 300 mm wafer prototypes with limited resources. Early demos confirmed the technology worked, and patents protect our approach.
Our solution makes particles visible and identifiable. We boost optical detection, measure true particle size, and fingerprint contamination. Suddenly, invisible particles become actionable, helping semiconductor manufacturers catch contamination earlier and optimize production yields.
To date, UNISERS has raised over CHF 20M in investment, including a CHF 12M seed investment round with Intel Capital, M Ventures, Swisscom Ventures, and RSBG Ventures in February 2023.
Today, our systems are in use in Europe, the US, and Asia, and our team has grown significantly. With hands-on prototyping and practical innovation, we’re helping the industry see what others miss—making contamination control faster, more reliable, and universally applicable.
Switzerland-based microchip toolmaker Unisers said on Thursday it had raised $14 million in a funding round led by Intel Capital to build new-technology demonstrator machines for trials by major chip-fabrication customers. […]
At UNISERS you would be working with cutting edge technologies and be solving some of the most challenging problems facing the semiconductor industry today.
We’re a startup with big ambitions and even bigger plans, but we need talented people like you to bring those plans to life.
