Jedat Inc. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kazutoshi Matsuo, hereinafter
"Jedat") has signed a distributorship agreement with POLLEN METROLOGY (hereinafter
"POLLEN"), which provides a comprehensive AI-driven process control platform
(hereinafter "Smart3") that shortens the time to market for semiconductor manufacturing.
Through this partnership, Jedat will be able to provide POLLEN's Smart3 to customers in
the semiconductor manufacturing field in Japan, automating the analysis of complex data
related to development and manufacturing processes, thereby shortening the time to
market for new semiconductor processes.
POLLEN was founded in France in 2014 and has been developing Smart3 for over 10
years, focusing on image-based data analysis for metrology and inspection, and is
expanding its business to blue-chip customers in the United States, Asia, and Europe,
accelerating the identification of the root cause of yield loss through fine image analysis.
POLLEN's speciality is its image analysis technology, which allows high-precision
segmentation of objects from image data such as SEM (scanning electron microscope),
TEM (transmission electron microscope), optical microscope, STEM (scanning
transmission electron microscope), and acoustic microscope, measurement, analysis tools,
and supervised and unsupervised defect detection tools to speed up process design,
optimize production yield, and improve the ROI of process, measurement, and inspection
hardware.
POLLEN's field is one in which semiconductor companies with their own fabs have a
relatively high share of in-house tools, but it is becoming difficult to continue maintenance
due to labor-saving measures. POLLEN also offers a software development kit that can
handle the infrastructure part.
In the future, Jedat and POLLEN will work closely together, closely monitor trends in the
Japanese market, and work together to further expand their solutions.
Kazutoshi Matsuo, President and CEO of Jedat, commented:
"We are pleased to be able to offer POLLEN innovative, high quality products to create high
added value to semiconductor manufacturing field in Japan. Through this partnership, we
hope to provide our customers with a wide range of choices and efficient solutions. "

Johann Foucher, President & CEO of POLLEN, commented:
“We look forward to working with Jedat to expand POLLEN products in the Japanese
semiconductor manufacturing field and enable more productive processes for our
customers. I am confident that the project will be successful.”
