FemtoTools AG
Swiss MEMS-based micro-force sensing and nanoindentation instrument maker, acquired by Oxford Instruments in 2024.
FemtoTools AG is a Swiss high-tech company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Buchs, Zurich. The company designs and manufactures MEMS-based micro-force sensing probes, force sensing microgrippers, and nanoindentation instruments for mechanical testing and robotic handling in the micro- and nanoscale domains. Its FT-S series of microforce sensing probes can measure forces from sub-nanonewton to 2 newtons, including two-axis and high-temperature variants.
The FT-NMT04 in-situ SEM nanoindenter enables testing inside scanning electron microscopes. FemtoTools serves customers in semiconductor technology, microsystem development, materials science, micromedicine, and biotechnology. In June 2024, Oxford Instruments completed the acquisition of FemtoTools AG, integrating the company into its Imaging and Analysis division.
