NILT Nanofoundry
NILT, a world leader in fabricating nanostructures, is now offering foundry services to companies wishing to bring their tiny devices to market.
We have experience in manufacturing everything from metalenses to consumables for point of care devices, diagnostics, biosensors, and more.
We are a fully integrated “one-stop shop”. From prototyping to mass production, we have the highest quality, custom manufactured nanostructures on the market, making NILT the most important partnership for you and your company.
Getting your nanostructure to market
Whether you are looking for a new design, or you have a mature production specification already, NILT can build the solution for you.
We have over 20 years of experience in advanced micro- and nano-structures, and in particular replication and nanoimprint techniques. Our expertise ranges from one-off samples, to prototyping and to manufacturing.
Our capabilities
Master Fabrication
Our team of lithography experts will build a highly precise master up to 200 mm in size. Nano–scale features will be tailored based on our process knowledge so that critical dimensions on the final product are correct.
Prototyping
Prototype parts will be produced by nanoimprint lithography or replication from the master for customer qualification. NILT can quickly iterate to improve turnaround time. We can also make prototypes using electron beam lithography or other patterning techniques.
Process Optimization
NILT will transfer your product to our manufacturing group, which mass produces your parts.
Mass Production
NILT facilities have a high degree of flexibility allowing for efficient ramp-up and changing demand.
