Onto Innovation announced that its Dragonfly G5 inspection platform has been qualified for use in 2.5D advanced‑packaging applications, a milestone that enables high‑throughput, high‑resolution inspection of AI‑chip packaging lines.
The qualification is significant because 2.5D packaging is a critical path for next‑generation AI accelerators. Dragonfly G5’s proprietary optics, illumination, and AI‑enhanced algorithms meet the throughput and resolution requirements of leading AI‑chip manufacturers, giving Onto a first‑mover advantage in a high‑margin front‑end inspection market.
Management guidance reflects the momentum behind the new platform. Onto’s preliminary first‑quarter 2026 revenue guidance is $292 million, above the prior $275‑$285 million range, while second‑quarter guidance is $320‑$330 million, an 8% increase over the previous outlook. The company also projects that Dragonfly platforms will grow more than 50% in 2026 versus 2025.
Mike Plisinski, CEO, said, "We are proud of what the team has been able to achieve in a relatively short time with the delivery of the Dragonfly G5. With this second successful qualification, the new Dragonfly platform is demonstrating that we have the capability to deliver significantly greater sensitivity at an improved cost of ownership." Executive Vice President Ido Dolev added, "The flexibility of the system’s proprietary optics and AI‑enhanced software allowed us to quickly adjust to each of the many challenges and deliver compelling value to our customers."
The qualification expands Onto’s product portfolio beyond its existing 3Di and Atlas lines, positioning the company to capture a larger share of the growing 2.5D packaging segment. It also strengthens Onto’s competitive moat and sets the stage for revenue growth in the 2026 advanced‑packaging cycle.
Overall, the Dragonfly G5 qualification signals Onto’s continued investment in AI‑driven packaging solutions and reinforces its leadership in the high‑growth front‑end inspection market.
