The system enhances Qnity's ability to develop and manufacture leading-edge materials, deepening the process insight that supports customer technology roadmaps.

Installed at Qnity's New England Manufacturing & Technology Center in Marlborough, Mass., the Surfscan SP7XP system is part of the company's broader investment strategy to support advanced semiconductor innovation across its global network. It expands Qnity's ecosystem of characterization and process control capabilities, helping teams identify sources of variation earlier in materials development and integration.

At advanced nodes, where even small defects can affect device performance, improved understanding of product and process variation supports faster process learning and scale-up for Qnity and its customers. Qnity’s latest investment supports the development and reliable manufacture of advanced lithography materials, including the Epic® photoresist family for ArF lithography, the Eon™ photoresist family for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, and enabling underlayer materials.
