Manufacturing technology Overview
I4MS 2016: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE · 23rd and 24th of June · Amsterdam
A lithographic technique to fabricate both micro-meter and nano-meter scale patterns. Fabricates patterns via the mechanical deformation of an imprint resist. The imprint resist is typically a polymer or monomer that can be cured via temperature and / or UV light.

Upscalling … the bottleneck
I4MS 2016: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE · 23rd and 24th of June · Amsterdam
2 cm x 2 cm master stamp containing micro/nano structures
Recombination step: upscaling the 2x2cm master stamp over a 20 cm x 43 cm area
Following the recombination step Nickel electroplating is carried out to generate the Nickel working stamp
