Case Studies

Real projects. Named results, anonymous customers.

We anonymize every customer as standard practice. What's shown is the tool, the work, and how it turned out. 25 years of it, across 30+ countries.

KLA CD-SEM

How GCE kept a fab's delicate 3-inch InP process on legacy KLA CD-SEM tools, avoiding a costly 300mm tool footprint

"We weren't just looking for a cheaper tool — we needed someone who actually understood how to handle a substrate this small and this fragile. Avoiding a forced move to 300mm alone made this worth it."

Canon FPA-3000

How GCE delivered a 5-tool Canon FPA-3000 fleet at 80% below new-tool cost, phased to match the customer's capital and floor-space plan

"Being able to bring these tools in on our own timeline, three months out whenever we were ready for the next one, was honestly the biggest win for us. We got the capacity we needed without committing all our capital upfront or finding floor space for five tools at once."

KLA CD-SEM

How GCE relocated a SiC research lab's CD-SEM and kept it running under a long-term support plan

“You guys already knew this tool inside and out, so honestly we didn't think twice about who to call for the move. Having you stick around for support afterward made the whole thing feel a lot less stressful.”
