The NanoLithoSolution (NLS) nanoimprint module is a low cost tool used as add-on to existing UV-lithography mask aligners. The module is easily installed, has integrated Auto-Release™ and comes with all needed features for imprinting.
When combined with a conventional optical mask aligner, the system prvides a semiautomatic nanoimprint with precision alignment capability for anyone using a traditional photolithography process. The equipment is compatible with most widely available optical aligners in microfabrication facilities around the world.
