Canon ships nanoimprint chipmaking machine to R&D lab
Briefly

Canon's new nanoimprint lithography machine can produce 5nm circuit patterns through molds instead of light, making it a potentially game-changing technology in semiconductor manufacturing.
The Texas Institute for Electronics will leverage Canon's advanced nanoimprint lithography machine in its R&D labs, enabling innovative research in advanced semiconductor technologies.
Compared to traditional photolithography that requires difficult-to-handle EUV wavelengths, Canon's mold-based process is more affordable and energy-efficient, although reliability remains a concern.
Despite initial skepticism from industry experts regarding the feasibility of nanoimprint lithography in high-volume production, its use in R&D and prototyping could bridge the gap.
