Advantest Corporation announced the release of its next-generation CD-SEM* E3660, engineered for the dimensional metrology of photomasks and EUV masks used in cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing. Compared to the previous generation's E3650, the E3660 delivers more than a 20% improvement in CD reproducibility, enabling process engineers to meet the stringent requirements of mask manufacturing at the 2nm node and beyond. By reinforcing lithography process control in advanced device fabrication, the E3660 furthers Advantest's vision of providing holistic test solutions across the semiconductor value chain. In semiconductor device fabrication, continuous scaling and pattern complexity are driving a sharp increase in lithographic hotspots--locations where multi-patterning and pattern transfer become particularly error-prone. Masks used to form wafer circuitry are evolving, with higher layer counts and more intricate geometries. This, in turn, has significantly increased the number of required metrology sites, demanding measurement systems with both higher throughput and superior reproducibility. The industry is also transitioning toward curvilinear mask patterns, enabled by advances in multi-beam mask writing and high-performance computing. These patterns are expected to see large-scale deployment around 2027 with the adoption of High Numerical Aperture EUV lithography in device production. To ensure design-to-mask fidelity under these conditions, CD-SEMs must not only provide highly reproducible critical dimension measurements but also generate SEM images with greater fidelity to true pattern contours. Moreover, metrology solutions must evolve to incorporate curvature-sensitive algorithms capable of quantifying deviations between complex mask features and original design intent. Leading up to the development of the E3660, Advantest has collaborated with imec, to validate the correlation of CD-SEM results obtained from the "E3650" with those from Advantest's previous generation CD-SEMs and EDA-based reference data. This enabled Advantest to improve metrology reliability and work with imec to advance the development and validation of new measurement techniques for curvilinear geometries. The E3660 platform reflects the outcome of this collaboration, achieving the reproducibility required for 2nm node mask manufacturing, enabling high-throughput measurement to handle increasing site counts, and providing unique measurement functions for curvilinear patterns. By integrating these capabilities, the E3660 is positioned to deliver robust metrology support for the next generation of mask R&D and production environments. Advantest will initially target the E3660 for deployment at Merchant Mask Shops, where commercial mask manufacturers produce masks for external customers, and Captive Mask Shops, which are in-house mask production facilities of semiconductor manufacturers. This activity establishes the E3660 as a core evaluation tool for advanced mask development and production qualification.

On April 27, 2026, Advantest shared its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with revenues of 328.07B yen and net income of 126.83B yen, representing a sharp 41.2% rise in revenues, in addition to a substantial 220.6% rise in EPS compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year. A positive note is that for the 8th consecutive quarter, the company's revenue line has increased compared to last year's corresponding quarter, which demonstrates the company's stability and its ability to grow in the future.
In addition, the EBITDA margin rose sharply from 39.39% in the corresponding quarter last year to 48.75%. It often signifies that the company has raised prices or implemented optimization methods in its activity sectors, leading to an increase in EBITDA margins and, as a result, should support the stock's performance in the future. Another notable figure in the negative aspect is the free cash flow for the quarter, which was 108.35B yen, decreased by -1.83B from the previous year's corresponding period. In spite of no improvement in cash flow, the company's management returned an impressive amount of 21.09B yen to the shareholders, of which 283M yen was paid as a dividend and 20.81B yen as a repurchase of Common Stock. It is important to note that the stock's dividend yield stands at approximately 0.2%, and it trades at 49.2x times current year's earnings, which is higher than the sector average (P/E 14.7x).
