As we stand on the cusp of a new year, brimming with potential and promise, I am delighted to take a moment to reflect on the remarkable journey we’ve shared throughout 2023 and to share with you our ambitious plans for the future.
In the past year, Impedans achieved significant milestones that underline our steadfast commitment to excellence. We are proud to announce our attainment of ISO certifications for Quality (ISO 9001), Health & Safety (ISO 45001), and Environmental standards (ISO 14001). This recognition underscores our dedication to delivering products of the highest quality and safety while upholding environmental responsibility.
Despite challenges in the semiconductor market, our team exhibited resilience and adaptability, resulting in a commendable double-digit growth. Moreover, securing a our largest OEM design-in to date for our RF sensor solution marked a pivotal accomplishment, solidifying our standing in the market.
Our success is also attributed to the invaluable feedback we received from you, our esteemed customers. The ongoing collaboration with our dedicated product maintenance team has allowed us to make continuous improvements, enhancing the capabilities of our products based on your real-world experiences.
An aspect that fills us with pride is the multitude of publications our customers have shared this year. Your groundbreaking research, showcased through these publications, demonstrates how our plasma diagnostics sensors have played a pivotal role in advancing research and technology. We invite you to explore our application notes, where we delve into key findings that underscore the impact of our sensors on various scientific endeavors.
Looking towards the future, our vision is bold—a plasma sensor on every tool, transforming the landscape much like the ubiquity of pressure sensors today. Our mission is clear: to develop and deploy the necessary plasma diagnostics for this transformative era. RF sensors, combined with AI models, will enable early detection of failure modes and provide real-time reporting of plasma conditions at the wafer surface, fundamentally changing how we control our plasma tools. The introduction of in situ, wireless wafer-based plasma diagnostic platforms will add another layer of capability, validating virtual plasma measurements made from outside.
Exciting projects and developments await us in 2024. We are exploring groundbreaking concepts such as wireless RFEA wafers and the enhanced capabilities of our RF sensors in live manufacturing environments. While we can’t reveal all the details just yet, rest assured we are working on cutting-edge solutions that will push the boundaries of what’s possible in plasma diagnostics.
In response to the evolving landscape of plasma diagnostics, our company is adapting to the increasing demand for live plasma diagnostics. As the need to improve the control of plasma tools becomes more apparent, we are dedicated to being the number one supplier of diagnostics to meet this market need. Leveraging our unique knowledge as plasma physicists, we hold a distinct advantage in understanding and optimizing plasma processes.
Our unwavering commitment to quality remains a cornerstone of our operations. We are in the process of obtaining ISO 17025 certification as another stride in our ongoing efforts to establish a resilient quality management system.
Next year, we will continue our active participation in conferences and the delivery of webinars throughout the year. We look forward to connecting with you at upcoming events where you can meet our team, explore our latest innovations, and engage in discussions about how our solutions can meet your evolving needs. We cherish hearing about how you are advancing the knowledge, understanding, and applications of plasma!
At Impedans, we stand at the forefront of plasma diagnostic capabilities. Our heavy investment in novel diagnostic solutions and strategic partnerships with experts in the field reflect our commitment to transforming the way plasma measurement is achieved. Together, we are pushing the envelope to lead and innovate in this dynamic space.
As we step into 2024, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and grateful for the continued partnership with each of you. Thank you for being a part of the Impedans journey. We look forward to achieving even greater heights together.
Wishing you a prosperous and innovative New Year!
