Markets where NATSUME’s Optics are Installed
Semiconductor
More than 90% of the DUV optics we manufacture and export are for the semiconductor market.
We work together with our customers from the development phase and communicate closely with them to take on the most difficult challenges.
We have a clean room and provide clean packaging.
Application: Lithography System, Defect Inspection System
Space observation
Using the know-how garnered through our experience with optics for semiconductors, we manufacture high-precision mirrors for Space Observation.
Precision irregularity provides high strehl ratio.
High precision optics with low thermal expansion glass is available.
Application: National Space Observation Missions
Synchrotron
NATSUME, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, has developed a manufacturing process for soft X-ray mirrors that combines precision machining and precision replication technologies.
We have succeeded in highly efficient soft X-ray focusing with precision capillary mirrors at SPring-8.
Furthermore, we are a pioneer in the practical application of monolithic Wolter mirrors for soft X-ray.
