Princeton
NJ, November 29, 2004: Nanonex Corp., the world-leading
developer and manufacturer of nanoimprint lithography
solutions, recently announced the delivery of their
NX-2000, Universal Nanoimprintor, to The Laboratory
for Physical Sciences (LPS). The nanoimprintor has
been installed in a newly renovated nanotechnology
lab at the LPS, a unique and world-renowned research
institution associated with the University of Maryland
in College Park, MD. The machine will be utilized
by a multidisciplinary team of scientists in the pursuit
of both fundamental and applied research directed
toward the development of state-of-the-art, advanced
nanoscale devices.
Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a breakthrough method
of nanopatterning and a revolutionary solution to
nanomanufacturing. NIL patterns nanostructures by
physical deformation of a material to replicate structures
on a mold. NIL can have sub 5nm resolution and 1%
CD control, and simultaneously achieve high-throughput
and low cost – a feat currently impossible using other
existing lithographic methods. The NX-2000® is
capable of performing all aspects of thermal nanoimprint,
as well as photo-curable nanoimprinting and direct
nanopatterning. The company and its proprietary technology
has been developed on the pioneering research of renowned
expert Prof. Stephen Y. Chou, Founder and Chairman
of the firm.
About Nanonex Corp.
Headquartered in Monmouth Junction, NJ with offices
in California, Nanonex provides a complete line of
nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology solutions
including tools, masks, polymers, and processes. Nanonex
NIL solutions offer sub 10nm feature resolution, 3D
patterning, large area uniformity, accurate overlay
alignment, high-throughput, and low cost. Nanonex
NIL solutions include all forms of nanoimprinting,
such as thermal plastic, uv-curable, thermal curable,
and direct imprinting (embossing). Nanonex NIL solutions
can meet the needs of a broad spectrum of markets,
such as optical devices, displays, data storage, biotech,
IC, chemical synthesis, and advanced materials. Visit

“We
find the NX-2000 easy to use and versatile because
it combines hot and cold embossing with the capability
to perform other types of soft lithographic printing.
With the nanoimprintor we are developing device fabrication
techniques utilizing a diverse set of materials and
novel structures important for the advancement of
nanotechnology”
