Tescan Group, a high-performance imaging company headquartered in the Czech Republic, has acquired the ultrafast laser specialist FemtoInnovations, in a deal that will also create a new dedicated Laser Technology Business Unit (LTBU) at the University of Connecticut (UConn) Tech Park.

“The new unit expands Tescan’s correlative and multimodal portfolio for semiconductor, biomedical device manufacturing, and advanced research markets,” announced the Brno-based company.

”FemtoInnovations brings to Tescan a unique and disruptive laser platform - technology already proven in demanding workflows and attracting strong interest from leading global players across semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and high-tech industries."

The new “FLAME” center (short for FemtoInnovations Laser Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering) will be established at the Innovation Partnership Building of UConn Tech Park to fast-track research and development and workflow development, with a focus on applications in semiconductors and biomedical device production.

‘FemtoChisel’
According to its own web site, FemtoInnovations’ laser systems are designed to meet the needs of micro and nanomachining, biomedical device manufacturing, microelectronics failure analysis, and more.

One example cited is the “FemtoChisel”, which combines nano-machining with machine vision and can include laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), confocal microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) options.

FemtoInnovations CEO and co-founder Sina Shahbazmohamadi commented in a Tescan release: “Our team has always been driven by the pursuit of innovation and the development of disruptive laser processing technologies.

“By combining our ultrafast laser systems with Tescan's leading imaging and analysis platforms, we are creating a powerful new dimension of integrated workflows.

“This partnership will accelerate discovery and redefine what's possible for our customers. We are excited to combine forces and contribute to Tescan's legacy of excellence and innovation.”

Tescan says that the new laser business unit will work closely with its existing Electron Microscopy and Micro-CT divisions, with the aim of delivering integrated workflows from 2026.

Its CEO Jean-Charles Chen said: “By combining ultrafast laser micromachining with our leading imaging and analysis platforms, we’re enabling customers to move faster from problem to insight across failure analysis, sample preparation, research and development, and advanced manufacturing.

Bruno Janssens, the Czech company’s chief strategy officer, added: “We are constantly looking for partners who not only bring deep engineering discipline but also an unmatched innovation power.

“FemtoInnovations' disruptive laser processing technologies and their ability to create a platform that’s ready for real-world use is exactly the kind of strategic fit that raises the bar for our customers. We’re pleased to welcome the team into the Tescan family.”

Tescan is set to unveil its new technology portfolio at the International Symposium for Testing and Failure Analysis (ISTFA) 2025, which takes place in Pasadena, California, in November.
