NTNU Selects Elionix Electron Beam Lithography System

1. NTNU Selects Elionix Electron Beam Lithography System SEMTech Solutions, in partnership with Elionix, is pleased to announce the order of a 100kV Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) system to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The Elionix ELS-G100 will be installed at NTNU’s NanoLab later this year. The NTNU NanoLab is one core facility within Norway’s national cleanroom infrastructure NorFab and supports high level education, research, development and small scale production. The Elionix ELS-G100 is capable of generating patterns with a line width of 6nm. The system provides a stable 1.8nm electron beam using high beam currents at 100kV accelerating voltage. The system’s Windows™ based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides for ease of use in a diverse, multi-user environment. “The electron beam lithography features offered on the Elionix ELS-G100 are meeting the requirements for research facilities worldwide,” states Dr. Kay Gastinger, Director NTNU NanoLab. “This purchase significantly upgrades our electron beam lithography capability.” The Elionix ELS-G100 is a recent product launch that incorporates a new 100MHz high speed deflection system. According to Ken Koseki, Overseas Sales Manager for Elionix in Japan, “This system offers up to 10 times the throughput of our previous generation EBL tools.” Further, he states, “We are excited that NTNU has chosen Elionix and look forward to a long term partnership.” About NTNU NanoLab:
