Extract text from Wafer maps and microarray data (TMA)
To convert TMA Microarray data to another format, you need Proprietary Wafer Viewers or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Manufacturing Map Data" file type, you need software like Proprietary Wafer Viewers or a similar tool.
The .TMA extension primarily stores Semiconductor Wafer Map Data, a specialized format used in high-tech manufacturing to map the quality and yield of chips on a silicon wafer. These files, often associated with companies like Inova Semiconductors, contain coordinate grids identifying functional versus defective dies. A significant secondary use case is in biotechnology for Tissue Microarrays, where the file maps tissue cores on a glass slide for pathology analysis using tools like QuPath.
The frustrating part for users is that .TMA files are typically proprietary or raw data structures (XML/Text-based) that cannot be opened in standard viewers like Microsoft Excel or image editors. They are "dark data" to the average user - useless without specific industrial software.
Best Conversion Targets:
Convert.Guru analyzes your TMA file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TOC, WF1 and XPT files.
If you want to convert TMA file to , you can use Proprietary Wafer Viewers or similar software from the "Semiconductor Wafer Map" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to TMA, try Proprietary Wafer Viewers or another comparable tool in the "Semiconductor Wafer Map" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TMA converter.
