MVTec at SEMICON Europa: Machine vision as a key technology for semiconductor manufacturing

• With its machine vision software products, MVTec supports manufacturers in the semiconductor industry in various tasks. • Focus of the trade fair appearance: Strengthening quality assurance to increase yield, minimize waste, and boost process speed.

Munich, September 30, 2025 - This year again, MVTec Software GmbH (www.mvtec.com), a leading international provider of standard software for machine vision, will present itself as a partner of the semiconductor industry at SEMICON Europa, which takes place from November 18 to 21 in Munich. The focus of MVTec's booth in hall 1, booth B1868 is on quality assurance. Specifically, MVTec will demonstrate and explain how its software products HALCON, MERLIC, and the Deep Learning Tool can be used to strengthen quality assurance to increase yield, minimize waste, and boost process speed. "Machine vision is a key technology of modern semiconductor manufacturing. It increases precision and efficiency throughout the entire production process. Application areas range from complete traceability to exact positioning and automated quality inspection across the entire process chain. With our comprehensive range of technologies and solutions, we can support the entire production process, from front-end to back-end", explains Klaus Schrenker, Business Development Manager at MVTec.


The focus is on quality assurance - more automation & less scrap
MVTec‘s slogan for SEMICON Europa is: "Machine vision: boost your speed and accuracy in semiconductor manufacturing." "With our trade fair presence, we want to send out two messages: first, that we are a long-standing and close partner of the semiconductor industry and therefore well aware of the sector's challenges, especially the demand for high speed and precision. Second, these challenges can be addressed with our software products HALCON, MERLIC, and the Deep Learning Tool," explains Klaus Schrenker.

Demos at the MVTec booth will illustrate this in practice. The first demo inspects the surface of a structured wafer precisely for defects and contamination. The second demo highlights the wide range of application possibilities covered by the technologies of MVTec's software products. MVTec experts will be available to interested visitors for discussions and explanations on how machine vision can be applied to their use cases.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
