110 Marketing Qualified Leads, including 37 SQLs, for a high-precision metrology system in semiconductor R&D
Industry: Advanced Metrology / Semiconductor Innovation / USA & Europe
About the Client
A global manufacturer of high-end scientific instrumentation, trusted by leading research institutions and industrial innovators. The company’s portfolio spans multiple disciplines, including:
Surface and materials characterisation
Molecular and atomic-level spectroscopy
Structural biology and life science imaging
Magnetic resonance and analytical chemistry
Their tools are widely used across academia and industry, particularly in materials science, semiconductors, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
About the Project
This 3-month pilot campaign focused on a high-resolution measurement system for nanoscale surface analysis, primarily intended for advanced semiconductor research and development (R&D) applications.
The instrument provides detailed structural and chemical insights into thin films, layered materials, and next-generation device components, with spatial resolution in the sub-10 nm range.
The goal was to identify and engage experts at Tier 1 semiconductor companies who are directly involved in nanoscale materials engineering and qualify them for sales outreach.
🎯 Target Audience
The outreach targeted R&D-driven teams in leading semiconductor organisations, specifically those working with:
2D materials
Thin-film deposition and metrology
Photothermal and sub-micron surface characterisation
Advanced materials integration for semiconductor prototyping
Key regions: USA, Germany, UK, Belgium, Netherlands
Ideal contacts included:
Senior scientists and researchers in characterisation and metrology
Process development engineers
Technical leaders in device innovation labs
🚩 Challenge
