Environmental Metrology Corporation (EMC)
Environmental Metrology
Corporation (EMC) was founded in 2003 by Farhang Shadman, Bert Vermeire and Doug
Goodman to provide new and innovative metrology solutions.
EMC’s solutions conserve valuable process chemicals used in
semiconductor manufacturing such as Ultra Pure Water and Supercritical CO2 while
interfacing easily into the standard manufacturing flow.

and effective process solutions.
