The company offers custom nano-IR analysis for defects, contaminants, and phase distribution; expedited service is available, and testing is confidential.
High-performance nano-IR analytical tools capable of PiFM, PiF-IR, s-SNOM, raman, and optical AFM experiments. Explore Vista series microscopes.
Vista 200 has a 200 mm × 200 mm sample stage and can analyze wafers or photo masks. It can be configured with a vacuum chuck with magnets or a specialized EUV mask holder and supports 4-, 6-, or 8-in wafers.
Vista 300 is a nano-chemical metrology instrument for R&D and failure analysis in nanofabrication. AutoPiFM generates a dataset with fixed-wavenumber PiFM images of detected chemical components and PiF-IR spectra in each chemical phase.

Molecular Vista Inc. (MVI), a company specializing in nano-chemical metrology, announced Vista 300, a nano-IR instrument for advanced semiconductor process monitoring. It accommodates wafers up to 300 mm.
The page compares PiF-IR with nano-FTIR and FTIR, claiming PiF-IR provides cleaner data faster without damaging samples, and compares PTIR with PiFM, describing PiFM data as clean.
PiF-IR and nano-FTIR claim to offer similar nanoscale analysis capabilities. However, some fundamental differences determine which technology is most effective.
The company says its team invented and brought to market photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM), which it describes as the first true non-contact AFM infrared spectroscopy technique.
The page lists demonstration sites and contact details for Molecular Vista, Anfatec Instruments AG, and Japan Laser Corporation (JLC).
The speaker says they acquired a VistaScope from Molecular Vista and used it for PiFM measurements on thin films of porous materials, including zeolites and metal-organic frameworks.
