NPS300 - Nano imPrinting Stepper with Hot Embossing and UV-NIL capabilities
Micro/Nano-Replication at its Best
The Nano imPrinting Stepper NPS300 is a cutting-edge lithography solution that combines advantages of E-Beam-Resolution with high throughput and low cost of ownership.
The NPS 300 is a very flexible system available as a manually loaded machine or as a fully automated system. The automated stamp pick up, allows printing different pattern from different stamps on a wafer within a single cycle. The NPS300 is optimized for the cost-effective replication of micro or nanometer scale structures.
High End Processes
Step & Stamp Imprinting for Hot Embossing or UV NIL is an innovative method that has been demonstrated at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
Hot Embossing: this method consists of transferring the stamp pattern into a thermoplastic embossing material by controlling heat and pressure.
UV NIL: the Step & Cure method is using in-situ imprinting material dispensing and UV curing.
This cutting-edge technology is a very promising solution for replacing standard UV-lithography systems when sub-100 nm resolution is required.
Features and Benefits
Step & Repeat nanoimprint lithography tool combining on the same platform Hot Embossing and UV-NIL on wafer up to 300 mm The sub-20 nm printing resolution and 250 nm overlay accuracy address many applications: patterned media storage, optics, bio, etc... Stamp size 50 / 65 mm extendable up to 100 mm Automatic stamp pick-up for higher flexibility Air bearing technology and granite structure ensure long-term stability and reliability
