ZEISS is the global technology leader in the manufacture of systems and modules for microchip production. With semiconductor manufacturing optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS supplies key technologies for the production of ultra-fine conductor track structures on silicon wafers – the raw material used to make microchips. Advances in computer technology largely rely on the ongoing development of optical lithography – every new generation enables even finer structures to be produced on the microchips. This makes circuits more compact, resulting in more powerful, more energy-efficient and more cost-effective microchips every year. ZEISS has been driving the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology right from day one. ZEISS’ new and unique extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography has created a series of further generations of microchips with ever greater integration density and performance.

Industrial Metrology also boasts a tradition spanning more than 100 years. Measuring technology and software solutions from ZEISS provide perfect results in many sectors of industry – in automobile and aircraft construction, for example, where precision, quality and efficiency are essential success factors. In this way, the reliable, intuitive measuring technology ideally supports efficient quality inspection in production. In addition to extensive service offerings, innovative technologies such as 3D X-ray metrology round off the portfolio.

As a pioneer in medical technology, ZEISS helps doctors all over the world to diagnose and treat diseases more effectively: ZEISS offers eye surgeons comprehensive solutions with its systems and artificial lenses for cataract treatment. In refractive surgery, the company is the innovation leader in the field of minimally invasive laser treatment. For ophthalmic diagnostics, ZEISS products have set gold standards that enable ophthalmologists to make reliable diagnoses in everyday practice. Doctors use surgical microscopes from ZEISS for microsurgical procedures all over the world. The spectrum extends from visualization possibilities for neuro, ENT and spine surgery to dental microscopes and medical loupes for dentistry. In addition, ZEISS offers a system for intraoperative radiotherapy. Digitalization offers exciting opportunities for medicine, a field in which ZEISS is already setting the pace – imaging techniques and software-assisted data management systems enable efficient workflows at practices and hospitals alike.

ZEISS also stands for better vision. Every year millions of people opt for ZEISS eyeglass lenses and thus for optimum visual comfort. From instruments and apps for precise vision analysis to customized eyeglass lenses, ZEISS offers the optimum combination of ophthalmological and optometric expertise unparalleled by any other manufacturer. Innovative lenses from ZEISS provide relaxed, natural vision in all situations and for all requirements. ZEISS also stands for breathtaking moments: ZEISS lenses were used to film the first moon landing. Photographers and videographers rely on excellent, high-speed ZEISS camera lenses to capture unforgettable moments and stories. Many critically acclaimed movies were filmed with ZEISS lenses, including “Gravity” and “Lord of the Rings.” ZEISS binoculars and spotting scopes turn impressive insights into nature into a truly unique experience.
