THE 30STARTUPS OF KANSAI

Holoway develops innovative metrology and inspection solutions for advanced manufacturing industries, particularly the semiconductor and space sectors. Leveraging proprietary optical technologies, including high-precision, high-throughput 3D metrology, we assist manufacturers in addressing the growing complexity and sophistication of production processes. Our business comprises two core areas: (A) ODM of customized metrology systems for integration into process equipment, and (B) the development of our in-house developed inspection equipment. Through these businesses, we provide advanced measurement capabilities that support the continued evolution of manufacturing.

By combining proprietary metrology technologies that achieve both high precision and high throughput with a deep understanding of manufacturing processes, Holoway provides solutions essential to enabling and optimizing advanced production. Our process metrology solutions contribute to better quality, cost, and delivery performance, higher production yields, and further process innovation. In addition, our inspection solutions for quality control help manufacturers streamline operations and reduce costs. Through these capabilities, Holoway supports more productive, reliable, and sustainable manufacturing across industries that are fundamental to future technological and societal progress.

Holoway’s technology is built on digital holography, which enables flexible optical-wave analysis using accurately captured intensity and phase data. On this foundation, we independently develop optical systems and analytical methods optimized for the specific requirements of each manufacturing process. For advanced semiconductor processes in particular, our 3D metrology achieves both high precision and high throughput—capabilities that are typically difficult to achieve both. This enables Holoway to offer innovative wafer inspection solutions unavailable from conventional providers and to address increasingly demanding measurement challenges in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing.

Guided by our vision, “Empowering the Future of Manufacturing,” and our mission, “Advancing Metrology and Inspection,” Holoway aspires to elevate manufacturing through innovation in measurement and inspection technologies. We will expand our portfolio of solutions for advanced manufacturing industries, with an initial focus on semiconductors and space, and deliver them to customers worldwide. By solving increasingly complex production and quality-control challenges, we aim to become a globally trusted “metrology and inspection solution provider” that enables new manufacturing processes, improves industrial competitiveness, and supports the next generation of technological innovation.
