September 9, 2003 – Schlumberger Technologies, Inc. has transferred its verification systems unit, which develops metrology capital equipment, to Soluris, Concord, MA, a new company formed by the division’s management team. The deal includes the company’s Yosemite CD-SEM and IVS 135 CD and Overlay systems.
The transaction focuses Soluris on the SD-SEM metrology market, while allowing Schlumberger to “divest non-core activities,” according to executive VP Irwin Pfister.
