Features

The ideal system for research & development settings

Defect inspection is crucial to scaling next-generation devices. The LS Air system has a small footprint and is used to identify, classify, and define causality to defects before you scale to volume production.

Flexible software

User-friendly software makes configuring recipes simple. As needs evolve, recipes are easily saved and modified.

Robust hardware

The nSpec LS Air can manage various sample form-factors, and can inspect a wide variety of new and novel materials.

Powered by Nanotronics AI

The nSpec LS AIR includes Nanotronics proprietary GEN V Artificial Intelligence Software, nTelligence.

Modular design

Easily upgrade the nSpec LS Air to a PS Air system when your process is ready to be scaled to volume production.
