Based near Oxford, Infinitesima is a privately owned company founded in 2001, as a spin-out of the University of Bristol, by CTO Professor Andrew Humphris. Their dynamic team of scientists and engineers is focussed on enabling the next generation of semiconductor devices through delivery of innovative products to customers around the world.
Infinitesima has developed a fundamentally different atomic force 3D surface measurement technique, the Rapid Probe Microscope. In the RPM a revolutionary thermal-optical actuation is combined with an interferometric measurement system to deliver picometer precision and speeds >100x faster than those achieved by conventional Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM).
