About the Machine

The XRD UV Recombiner is a high-performance system utilizing ultraviolet light for the large-scale replication of micro- and nanostructures, such as holograms. This custom-built solution provides precise machine operation and a comprehensive recombination process to ensure optimal results. It is engineered for superior precision, cleanliness, and reliability in both research and industrial applications.

 

Objective of the Machine

The primary purpose of the UV Recombiner is the high-precision, step-and-repeat replication of a single stamp to form a large-format master.

• Ensuring high-accuracy registration during every step of the pattern transfer.

• Delivering reliable, repeatable performance for large-scale manufacturing.

• Utilizing cleanroom-grade laminar flow to ensure defect-free processing.
