The group’s principal activity is to manufacture analytical tools for the semiconductor industry. The group's product detect contaminants and control the processes during the manufacturing of semiconductors. The group's Sentry TCM, Sentry HCM, and Sentry CCM tools are inline chemical metrology systems, providing real-time analysis of semiconductor wafers while they are being fabricated, rather than employing offline laboratory instruments. The group was founded in 2000. The group operates from the United States.
