Bruker AXS Announces Closing of S.I.S. Acquisition

03-Sep-2008 - Germany

Bruker AXS GmbH announced the closing of its acquisition of S.I.S. Surface Imaging Systems GmbH, located near Aachen, Germany. S.I.S. develops, manufactures and distributes advanced atomic force/scanning probe microscopy (AFM/SPM) systems for numerous applications in materials research, including semiconductors, data storage, electronic materials, solar cells, polymers and catalysts. S.I.S. will be renamed Bruker Nano GmbH and will operate under its previous management.

Dr. Frank Burgaezy, Bruker AXS Executive Vice President, commented: "The new Bruker high-performance AFM products range from small bench-top AFM systems, to integrated high-end AFM/optical microscope combinations, all the way to large floor standing instruments for the characterization of 300mm wafers in clean room environments. The impressive S.I.S. core technology consists of extremely compact AFM/SPM components which can be used easily with many instruments such as optical microscopes or micro-hardness testers. We are very pleased to have S.I.S. join the Bruker group, and further enhance our extensive high-performance materials research and QC product lines."
