Discover how ZEISS is transforming failure analysis with AI-powered solutions, set to be showcased at the 50th ISTFA Conference. With cutting-edge technology and expert insights, ZEISS is paving the way for the future of microscopy and fault isolation.


As the world of technology evolves, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into specialized fields like microscopy is reshaping how we approach failure analysis and fault isolation. This year’s ISTFA Conference, taking place from October 28 to November 1, 2024, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel, is set to spotlight these advancements, with ZEISS leading the way. With AI at the forefront, ZEISS is not only participating in the conference but also showcasing groundbreaking solutions that promise to redefine the standards of quality and efficiency in the industry.

At the heart of ZEISS’s presentation will be its innovative applications of AI in failure analysis. With four tutorials and six paper presentations, ZEISS aims to share its expertise in utilizing AI to enhance fault isolation processes and improve yield outcomes. Dr. Thomas Rodgers, head of the business sector electronics at ZEISS Microscopy, emphasizes the importance of this technology, stating, “To extend the capability of non-destructive imaging with higher throughput and resolution, ZEISS was the first in the industry to implement AI-powered reconstruction solutions for 3D X-ray microscopy.”

One of the highlights of ZEISS’s exhibition will be a virtual demonstration of the new ZEISS VersaXRM 730 X-ray microscope, which promises unparalleled imaging capabilities with a resolution of 450 nanometers. The integration of ZEN navx™, an automated user guidance and control system, allows for streamlined workflows that optimize image quality and enhance throughput. With AI, the VersaXRM 730’s DeepRecon Pro significantly accelerates data acquisition, achieving over four times faster results compared to industry standards.

In addition to its demonstrations, ZEISS will engage in thought-provoking discussions during two panel sessions addressing the future of the electronics industry and the role of AI technologies. These discussions will explore how AI can be leveraged not just for technical advancements but also to shape the strategic direction of the industry as a whole.

The importance of ZEISS’s contributions cannot be overstated, especially as the ISTFA Conference celebrates its 50th anniversary with a focus on AI. This event serves as a platform for professionals to explore new methodologies, share knowledge, and network with industry leaders. ZEISS’s commitment to innovation and its significant investments in research and development—15% of its revenue—is a testament to its role as a pioneer in the field of microscopy and related technologies.

As ZEISS prepares to showcase its cutting-edge solutions at ISTFA 2024, the anticipation builds around how AI will continue to evolve within the realm of failure analysis. The integration of AI not only enhances the accuracy and efficiency of analyses but also sets the stage for future advancements in technology that could revolutionize various industries.

In conclusion, the upcoming ISTFA Conference will be a landmark event for ZEISS as it demonstrates its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI in microscopy. The insights and innovations shared at this conference could very well shape the next generation of failure analysis technologies, making it a must-attend event for anyone in the field.
