Nearfield Instruments

At the heart of Nearfield Instruments lies a culture defined by the spirit 'to boldly go' where others have not. Born as a spin-off from TNO (the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), the company has cultivated an environment where scientific curiosity meets industrial determination. Their mission is not merely to participate in the semiconductor industry but to lead it by solving the most complex process control challenges in advanced 3D memory and logic devices. This drive is underpinned by a set of core values that emphasize leading rather than following, fostering an open and honest atmosphere, and building relationships based on empowerment and trust.

The team at Nearfield Instruments is a diverse collection of the most creative minds in science and technology, representing over 40 different cultures. This rich international tapestry contributes to a fun and open-minded work environment where respect for the individual is paramount. They believe that great innovation stems from people who are empowered to take ownership and think boldly. By combining high-resolution capabilities with high-throughput performance, they are bridging the gap in metrology and inspection, enabling the production of the next generation of smaller, more powerful, and energy-efficient electronics. Their commitment to 'passion and determination' ensures that they continue to push the boundaries of what is physically possible, shaping a better world atom by atom.
