The EVG610 UV nanoimprint lithography tool supports a range of standard lithography processes, like vacuum-, soft-, hard- and proximity exposure mode, including the choice of back-side alignment. The system provides extra abilities for multi-purpose configurations, such as nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and bond alignment.
Rapid processing and re-tooling are enabled by the EVG610 for changing user needs with just a few minutes of conversion time between lithography and NIL. The latest multi-user concept of the system can be adapted right from beginners to expert level, thereby making it perfect for universities and R&D applications.
In the case of imprint processes, the EVG610 enables substrates spanning from small chip size pieces up to a diameter of 150 mm. Configurations for nanotechnology applications comprise release mechanisms for stamps besides programmable high and low contact force. Even contact force for high yield imprinting is offered by EV Group’s proprietary chuck design, supporting both soft and hard stamps.
