ReVera is a leading provider of next generation metrology used to monitor and control films and critical layers deployed in the semiconductor manufacturing process. For many years, the industry has relied on optical-based technologies to measure thin films and layers in semiconductor devices. Due to the limitations of optical techniques when presented with smaller features and more complex materials, device manufacturers are spending an ever increasing portion of their capital dollars on new metrology technology such as that provided by ReVera. This transition away from optical metrology is increasing as the industry moves through each successive technology node. ReVera is recognized as the supplier of choice of this next generation metrology, having been adopted by the majority of leading edge device manufacturers.

ReVera was established in 2004 as a management-led spin-out from Physical Electronics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Charles Evans and Associates. ReVera drew from the expertise of these companies in laboratory materials characterization and instrumentation, and became the first company to successfully create and commercialize a production-worthy materials metrology solution.
