This study investigates temperature distribution between heated AFM tips and materials, using PPA film to create programmable nano/microscale pyramid structures for scanning thermal microscopy applications.

Following the successful introduction of the modular NanoFrazor nanolithography system in 2024, Heidelberg Instruments is proud to announce the installation of the newest NanoFrazor at EPFL.

Heidelberg Instruments has received a substantial order from a top-tier photomask manufacturer in Asia for a VPG+ 1850 FPD system, developed on the established platform of its flagship VPG+ 1400 FPD Volume Pattern Generator.

As AI and HPC push monolithic circuits to obsolescence, the industry turns to Advanced Packaging. Yet, challenges like die shift and substrate warpage threaten to kill yield before the package leaves the fab. Enter the new hero of microelectronics: Maskless Lithography. Learn how adaptive alignment ensures your chiplets live to compute another day.

The quantum revolution is shifting from theory to reality, as breakthroughs like Google’s “Quantum Echoes” show. Scaling from small demos to systems with thousands of qubits demands ultra-precise, uniform nanofabrication. This post examines the fabrication challenges and lithographic solutions enabling the leap from lab to large-scale production.
