The yellow lighting in Bay 1 is necessary for photolithography, so as to prevent unwanted exposure of photoresist to light of shorter wavelengths.

 

CRESTEC CABL 9000C E-Beam Lithography System

The Cambridge Nanoscience Centre offers access to a high-resolution electron beam lithography system, the CABL 9000C from CRESTEC Corporation Ltd Japan. CRESTEC is the world leader in high-resolution e-beam lithography tools. It is the first system to be installed in the UK. The CABL 9000C is a highly sophisticated electron beam lithography system with a beam diameter of 2nm and line stitching accuracy of 20nm.

Obducat Eitre Nano-Imprint Lithography

Individually or in combination with e-beam lithography, the Obducat Eitre NIL system can be used for large-area device nanofabrication. Nano Imprint Lithography (NIL) is an emerging lithographic technology that promises high throughput patterning of nanostructures. With NIL it’s possible to achieve sub-10nm resolution features over large areas. NIL can significantly simplify the production of nanostructures using a wide variety of materials. NIL intrinsically has better dimensional control that can be achieved using conventional UV lithography.
