Nikon Precision Europe GmbH

"Multi-talented team proudly making the impossibly small, possible."Nikon Precision Europe GmbH (NPE) is a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, a leading global supplier of Semiconductor lithography systems to a very diverse range of high-tech applications.Established in 1917, Nikon is one of the world’s leading optical companies. With decades of experience as a manufacturer of optical lenses and precision equipment, Nikon developed the world’s first production-worthy step-and-repeat photolithography tool in 1980. Since then, over 60 models of Nikon Semiconductor Photolithography systems (steppers and scanners) have printed half of all the integrated circuits (ICs) ever manufactured.NPE provides sales and customer support (service, applications, technical support) for Nikon’s photolithography systems at key manufacturing locations spanning the whole of Europe.From ultra-high productivity i-line (365 nm), advanced KrF (248 nm)/ArF (193 nm), and immersion exposure systems used in manufacture of the most demanding semiconductor devices, such as components for computers, smartphone and GPS systems, to the more specialised g- (436 nm), h- (405 nm) and i-line (365 nm) tools used for MEMS, LED, SAW/BAW, TFH and advanced packaging technologies, Nikon delivers superior performance with the lowest cost of ownership and comprehensive customer support.NPE is headquartered in Langen, Germany and has branch offices in France, UK, Ireland and Israel.
