Molecular Imprints Installs Tools In Various National Labs & Research Centers

Molecular Imprints, Inc. (MII, Austin, TX) a developer of Step and Flash Imprint Lithography (S-FIL™) technology, has announced the sales of its Imprio™ 55 system into Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s Molecular Foundry in California, the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin), and Pennsylvania State Nanofabrication Facility (PSU Nanofab), and a sale of an Imprio 100 tool to the Microelectronics Research Center (MRC) at UT-Austin.

Norm Schumaker, MII’s President and CEO said: “We are pleased to have these organizations as our customers. Their research objectives and those of Molecular Imprints are closely aligned and we look forward to a long and beneficial relationship.”

The Molecular Foundry is a user facility for the design, synthesis and characterization of nanoscale materials. This facility provides instruments and techniques dedicated to state-of-the-art lithographic and thin-film processing relevant to the integration of advanced semiconductor nanofabrication technologies with chemical and biological nanosystems.

The PSU Nanofab is a professionally staffed class 10 clean room facility, providing a full range of
processing capabilities for substrates as large as six inches in diameter. The Penn State Nanofab offers expertise in "top-down" and "bottom up" nanofabrication.

Dr. Grant Willson’s research group at the University of Texas purchased the Imprio 55 to support nanofabrication projects and conduct materials research. The MRC will be using the Imprio 100 as a teaching tool and for research into integrated circuit devices, optoelectronics, nanophotonics, and biosensors.
