Multiple government agencies and academic institutions are also involved.
Canon’s nanoimprint lithography system takes adifferent approach.
One of these advantages is the potential to reduce manufacturing costs and energy consumption.
This capability could prove extremely useful as chipmakers strive to pack ever-smaller and more complex circuits into their products.
Despite all the potential, some hurdles remain before nanoimprint lithography can be adopted on a broader scale.
Partnerships with other companies will also be necessary to develop manufacturing materials compatible with the technique.
