About NILCom

NILCom is a technology platform for Nanoimprint Lithography processes (NIL). Supported by an established infrastructure and qualified processes, NILCom offers the opportunity to leverage NIL synergies and support accelerated market segmentation for its applications. NILCom was founded to facilitate transparency and availability of NIL requirements and infrastructure, stamp/template standardization, materials qualification and defect control. Devices and applications developed with NILCom technology can take full advantage of the most advanced and cost efficient pattern replication methods promoting an accelerated product commercialization path.

Mission

The mission of NILCom is to establish a high volume manufacturing NIL platform in:
- Nano electronics
- Data storage
- Life Sciences
- Opto Electronics
by creating a technology interface for qualifying and standardizing the related infrastructure.

Centers Of Excellence

NILCom has access to three worldwide centers of excellence for infrastructure qualification and process development. In Europe, AMO and EV Group have teamed up on a cooperation on advanced UV-Nanoimprint lithography. With EV Group having the world’s largest installation base of nanoimprinting equipment and AMO with its UV nanoimprint application lab, industrial processes can be developed and qualified. On a worldwide basis, the NILCom infrastructure is complemented with NRC-IMI in North America and Waseda University in Japan from the process side.

Accomplishments

Applications and components developed with NILCom technology can take full advantage of the most advanced and cost efficient pattern replication methods promoting an accelerated product commercialization path. NILCom promotes standard process parameters, test stamps and qualified hardware solutions for high volume manufacturing and application development.
