This concept is based on the idea to mix on same device MEMS and NEMS technologies. The MEMS part is used for the mass to keep sufficient inertial force, and the NEMS is used as a very sensitive sub-µm suspended stress gage.

Graphene is a single atomic sheet of carbon atoms in the arrangement found in graphite. The ORION® PLUS makes it possible both to image and machine graphene in one seamless operation.
3DSM adds a whole new level to scanning electron microscopy by allowing samples to be examined in three dimensions almost in real time. There is no further need for complicated stage tilting procedures.
To address the challenge of acquiring a large number of high quality serial images at high speed, Carl Zeiss has recently developed a novel approach: "ATLAS" – a module for AuTomated Large Area Scanning.
Pores or vias with single-digit nanometer size are necessary for the realization of many applications. The applications often require the pores to have a high aspect ratio of 10 : 1 or more.
