Key Features of NanoFrazor:
- Modular Platform: Tailor the NanoFrazor to fit your specific application and laboratory environment. Combine patterning modes, housing options, and software modules for optimal performance.
- Direct Laser Sublimation Module: Write nano- and micro-structures swiftly in a single fabrication step with in-situ imaging for markerless overlay and real-time pattern comparison.
- Closed-Loop Lithography: Achieve sub-2 nm vertical precision for intricate 2.5D (grayscale) shapes with fast and precise control of a heated nanoscale tip.
- Ultra-Sharp, Heatable Probe Tip: Write and inspect complex nanostructures simultaneously, ensuring precise depth profiles and high-resolution patterns.
Our dedicated team of experts continuously refines pattern transfer processes, compiling this expertise into a comprehensive library of best practices and protocols to support your research endeavors. The NanoFrazor Recipe Book, containing recommended processes and material data, aids in seamlessly integrating t-SPL into your workflows.
The Heidelberg Instruments systems and technology pool comprises high-precision Maskless Aligner (MLA) and Laser Lithography systems for Direct Writing of 2D, 2.5D and 3D microstructures to mask-making, and systems based on Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography (t-SPL) for the advanced nanopatterning. 3D laser lithography systems based on Two-Photon Polymerization (TPP) technology close the gap between conventional laser lithography – the basis of Heidelberg Instruments’ strong core business – and the Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography (t-SPL) for nanopatterning.
Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography (t-SPL) is a patterning method in which a thermally sensitive resist is sublimated using an ultra-sharp heated tip. This method allows for complex, high-resolution nanostructures to be both written and visually inspected on the same tool.
The NanoFrazor technology represents an alternative to conventional nanofabrication methods. It allows both high-resolution patterning as well as imaging with a scan speed of 1 mm/s.
