Obducat receives key NIL patent granted in USA
Malmö, September 01, 2006 – The US Patent Office has notified Obducat that
they will issue a patent relating to Obducat’s unique Soft PressTM
technique which represents an important part of Obducat’s NIL technology
(nano imprint lithography). The technique offers performance advantages in
comparison with competing techniques such as hard press based NIL. One of
the main benefits with using the Soft PressTM technique, when performing
pattern replication in high volume manufacturing, is the high
cost-efficiency that can be achieved.
The patent concerns an invention that enables the customer to obtain very
even pressure across surfaces when fabricating structures using the Obducat
NIL technology. The Soft PressTM function allows the customer to produce
structures in very thin polymer layers. For competing technologies this
involves several additional process steps, which in turn increases the
yield loss and thereby manufacturing costs. It is also possible to produce
structures with very high density without loosing CD (Critical Dimensions)
control. The Soft PressTM function also allows for high repeatability of
the imprint result, which is of vital importance in industrial
manufacturing.
Patrik Lundström, Obducat’s CEO, says:
‘We have during 2006 received patent protection in key markets regarding
several core parts of the HVM (High Volume Manufacturing) solution that we
are offering to the market. It is clear that the decision we made about one
year ago, to request accelerated review process at the different patent
offices, is now showing result. This year alone we have been awarded eight
new patents. The overall position of our offer to the market and the status
of our technology will clearly be further strengthened which is important
for the continued commercialisation.’
