Trademarked technology enables ultra-fast, stable motion control for next-generation tools in the Angstrom Era

Ronkonkoma, New York (December 16, 2025) – Nanomotion, a leading provider of advanced motion solutions, is proud to announce NanomotionATOM™ — a new trademarked motor technology that is powering piezoelectric motion solutions. This innovation marks a significant breakthrough for OEMs by enabling ultra-precise motion control for Angstrom-level semiconductor manufacturing tools.

NanomotionATOM empowers unprecedented speed, stability, and responsiveness in Nanomotion’s motion stages, needed for advanced semiconductor OEMs. This advanced motion control is driving semiconductor innovation, enabling tools, such as SEMs, wafer inspection and lithography, to meet the demands of shrinking geometries and tighter process windows.

Its vacuum-compatible design ensures clean operation in ultra high vacuum environments, minimizing contamination that may cause outgassing. This makes it ideal for SEM applications and other inspection metrology tools in semiconductor fabs.

“NanomotionATOM is more than a motor technology. It’s a platform for innovation,” said President of Nanomotion Alan Feinstein. “By enabling Angstrom-level positioning and dynamic sample manipulation in our motion systems, we are helping the industry meet the challenges of advanced manufacturing and beyond.”

The technology’s ability to support multi-axis, rapid movement with minimal settling time enables complex analyses and dynamic sample manipulation, critical for semiconductor applications. Advantages include:

• Rapid movement across X, Y, and Z axes, rotation and tilt for complex sample positioning and inspection tasks

• Compatibility with vacuum operating environments that need controlled production processes

• Sub-nanometer-level accuracy and stability to decrease drift and increase precision
