Outsourcing is the emerging trend in today's semiconductor industry. Dramatic swings in the global business environment have companies re-evaluating costly, inflexible business practices and adopting outsourcing as a preferred alternative. The purest form of outsourcing in the semiconductor industry was introduced with the concept of the foundry. Many chip manufacturers embraced that foundry outsourcing model and repositioned themselves as "fabless", however no options existed for companies to outsource other, non-core functions - until now. Metron is exclusively focused on bringing revolutionary outsourcing alternatives to the semiconductor industry. Since 1975 Metron has steadily developed the expertise and resources needed to serve semiconductor industry customers at all levels of technology and in all parts of the world. With unrivaled services and products and an infrastructure that spans Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, Metron provides the only global outsource solution in the industry today. Semiconductor manufacturers are able to streamline their supply chain by outsourcing through Metron. By offering Fab Solutions for outsourcing critical non-core functions, Metron enables its customers to better focus valuable resources on developing competitive technologies. Equipment manufacturers are able concentrate on the development of new generation equipment and maintain critical levels of support for mature equipment with Metron Equipment Solutions. Metron's focus on early generation equipment ensures customer satisfaction through an extended product life cycle. Suppliers gain access to a global market by leveraging Metron's Fab Solutions and Equipment Solutions. Metron manages the rapid, cost-effective introduction of products while suppliers can concentrate on core product development and manufacturing competencies. Working with its supplier and equipment manufacturer allies has allowed Metron to offer solutions that truly complement semiconductor manufacturers' prime mission - making superior product. Streamlining the supply chain has also allowed Metron customers to cut costs and adapt more quickly to changing global markets. Those key value propositions drive The Outsourcing Solutions Company.

Boxer Cross is changing semiconductor metrology. Targeting emerging critical processes that lack in-line control solutions, Boxer Cross has become a clear process enabler by launching two new in-line electrical measurement products in the last 24 months. With the BX-10 S/D and USJ Measurement System, Boxer Cross has pioneered an entirely new suite of metrology applications for USJ monitoring -- measuring advanced junction formation processes in leading fabs worldwide. With the BX-30 Advanced Interconnect Measurement System, Boxer Cross provides high-resolution copper damascene control. Both products measure on product wafers, without contact, in die areas. The unique Boxer Cross approach to metrology -- providing in-line monitoring alternatives to traditional off-line or EOL tests -- has changed modern process control. Now Boxer Cross is changing to meet new demands -- ramping up in a new facility with expanded clean manufacturing and applications lab space to serve its customers better.
