In Eindhoven application teams consist of around 140 software engineers, responsible for end-user application software for (TEM) Transmission Electron Microscopes and especially around data acquisition and processing.   

The application software team in Eindhoven is responsible for the development of automation/application software for Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM). This software offers solutions to our life sciences, material sciences and semiconductors customers, by providing dedicated workflows. Examples are automated tomography or single particle acquisition (EPU) and our dedicated semiconductors solution for e.g., automated metrology/ measure critical dimensions on semiconductor devices. 

SEMI Value Stream - Metrios Applications

The Thermo Scientific™ Metrios™ is an automated TEM imaging system used to perfect a TEM or STEM image using innovative automation. The Thermo Scientific™ Metrios™ AX is the world's first commercially released scanning transmission electron microscope (S/TEM) to use machine learning to automate high-quality data collection. Designed exclusively for the semiconductor industry, this innovative S/TEM solution removes the barriers to automation by enabling semiconductor labs to automatically acquire and measure critical dimensions on semiconductor devices during development or in support of manufacturing.

Metrios applications have been primarily developed in C#.Net with WPF as UI on Windows platform by distributed scrum teams. In addition to .Net, Machine Learning part has been mostly written in Python.
