Called, nanoimprint lithography technology, the equipment stamps chip designs on to silicon wafers rather than etching them using light.
“Our latest technology, called Nanoimprint lithography equipment, imprints a pattern on a mask onto a wafer to form a fine pattern. Compared to the conventional optical exposure tool, it has a simple configuration without complex optics, and the electric power consumption is only 1/10 th. In addition, we will contribute to India’s semiconductor industrial growth by developing talent through our global training curriculum,” said Kazunori Iwamoto, Advisory Director, Deputy Chief Executive of Optical Products Operations, Unit Executive of Semiconductor Production Equipment Unit of Canon Inc.
