Structural & Process Analysis

Critical process technology insights for patent owners & product development teams

Organizations with IP portfolios that include semiconductor process technology require solid technical data on competitors’ processes to understand best how to leverage their IP. For design groups, understanding the processes used by competitors gives insight into achieving size, cost, power or performance targets.

TechInsights’ state-of-the-art facilities, proprietary tools, products, and highly experienced technicians and engineers help clients to:

Support IP campaigns with valuable evidence of use information on semiconductor technology
Track key innovations used (critical dimensions and design rules, new materials, modified structures, etc.)
Make informed decisions about IP and technology investments

Revealing the innovation others can't

TechInsights has invested extensively in developing tools, methods and technical know-how to understand today’s cutting edge packaging technologies.
