Abstract The complexity of integrated circuits doubles at a remarkable speed — each 18 to 24 months, according to industry insiders. In 1965, Gordon Moore discovered this effect for the first time. Until today, pursuing Moore's Law poses a significant challenge for many industrial sectors because higher complexity in products means more complexity with regard to quality assurance during production as well. Optical surface inspection and metrology solutions have proven to be the right choice when it comes to enabling product innovations within short development cycles.
