FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAKR in the Applied Materials ASTRA Accelerator
BANGALORE, INDIA – MAKR Microsystems, a specialist in high-precision semiconductor metrology continues to build its engagement with Applied Materials in the 6th cohort of the Applied Materials ASTRA (Applied Startup Technology & Research Accelerator) program. This engagement marks a pivotal step in MAKR's mission to solve complex measurement challenges in next-generation chip manufacturing.
The ASTRA Accelerator
The ASTRA program is a flagship initiative by Applied Materials, the world’s leader in materials engineering solutions. Designed to foster deep-tech innovation, the accelerator provides MAKR with a high-visibility platform to present its solutions to the Applied Ventures team and a global network of ecosystem partners. By joining the cohort in Bangalore, MAKR will leverage world-class mentorship to scale its technologies to high-volume manufacturing environments.
The Metrology Challenge
As the semiconductor industry pushes toward sub-5nm nodes and complex 3D architectures, traditional inspection methods face a resolution wall. At these dimensions, inspecting a chip is comparable to mapping every room of a 100-story skyscraper that has been shrunk down to the atomic scale. MAKR’s technology is designed specifically to navigate this microscopic complexity, providing the data-driven insight necessary for yield optimization and process control in the most demanding fabrication environments.
About MAKR
MAKR is a semiconductor technology company focused on the science of measurement. By developing advanced metrology frameworks for modern chip architectures, MAKR bridges the gap between sophisticated design blueprints and manufacturing reality. The company’s solutions ensure that atomic-scale innovations of the future are executed with flawless, repeatable precision.
About Applied Materials
