Patented technology of great importance for Obducat’s position
Malmö, November 24th, 2006 – OBDUCAT AB, the world-leading supplier of
lithography solutions based on Nano Imprint Lithography and E-beam
lithography, is pleased to announce that two new patents have been granted.
The US Patent Office has issued a patent for a technology that concerns
Obducat’s production technology of stampers. The second patent has been
issued by the European Patent Office for an invention concerning
functionality within Obducat’s NIL technology (nano imprint lithography)
called parallelization. Both patents are of great importance to position
Obducat on the US and European market.
The patent issued in US covers a method that reduces the number of process
steps needed in the manufacturing of Nickel stampers. This enables lower
production costs for Nickel stampers. Nickel stampers are being used for
the manufacturing of e.g. optical storage media. Stampers are considered as
consumables and are also being used in the NIL technology.
The second patent issued in Europe focuses on so-called parallelization,
which is an important functionality within the NIL technology. The
parallelization facilitates a high quality result from the nano imprint
lithography process where a pattern is transferred from a so-called stamper
to a substrate. The parallelization technique offers performance advantages
compared to competing techniques. The function enables an even force
distribution over a larger area that is needed within e.g. the display
area, which leads to an improved quality of the imprint, that in its turn
leads to a higher cost efficiency from a manufacturing perspective.
Patrik Lundström, CEO Obducat, comments:
‘It’s of great importance that our key technologies are covered by patent
protection. The technologies that have been patented today are important
for the forthcoming success with our mass production solutions. For Obducat
to receive patent protection is important so that we can strengthen our
position and our offer to the US and European market’, says CEO Patrik
Lundström.
