Netherlands-based Invisix has raised €20 million in seed funding to advance its advanced metrology tools for semiconductor manufacturing. A tier-one chipmaker participated in the round.

Invisix has developed a soft x-ray metrology solution grounded in Nobel Prize-winning research. The technology is designed to address critical measurement challenges in chip production as semiconductor geometries shrink. The seed round demonstrates investor confidence in specialized tools serving the semiconductor industry. The participation of a major chipmaker signals validation from within the sector. Invisix joins a wave of European semiconductor infrastructure companies attracting capital. Related funding includes French quantum computing startup Quobly's €115 million Series A round, backed by Bpifrance, SEALSQ, and STMicro. Advanced metrology is essential as chipmakers push toward smaller process nodes. Measurement accuracy directly impacts yield and production efficiency.
