Our unique value package
Sensitive
(10nm-range detection)
Fast
(<45min for 1cm2)
Affordable
Innovation explained
UNISERS provides a sensitive and fast analysis solution, which is sufficiently affordable to be implemented in the entire semiconductor ecosystems. Therefore, contamination is detected at the source and processes can be significantly improved.
Our strengh
Our strength is the signal enhancement of nanoparticles. Other sensitive technologies have to sacrifice either speed or affordability to detect nanoparticles. UNISERS is using patent nanotechnology to enhance the signals of nanoparticles. Therefore, we can preserve affordability and speed while achieving enormous sensitivity.
Our Focus
Our focus is on the semiconductor industry due to the enormous impact of nanometer-scale contamination. The semiconductor industry is losing computer chips worth billions of USD due to defects caused by contamination.

About us
Vision
Becoming the universal contamination analyzer for the whole semiconductor industry and beyond
History
The beginning of UNISERS was the discovery of a universal applicable SERS (UNI-SERS) process to detect and speciate trace impurities. The technology was patented in 2017, and the commercialization started with a Pioneer Fellowship from ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Since 2017, UNISERS is focusing on the semiconductor industry and has presented at events like Ultrapure micro (2018, 2019, and accepted for 2020), SEMICON Korea 2019, and SPCC (2019 and accepted for 2020). Technological progress, market research, and demands from potential customers guided us to develop a universal surface particle detector.
