GL300 Cluster is a modular, fully-automatic nanoimprint lithography mass production system that combines all related NIL pre-process steps including wafer cleaning, plasma surface treatment, resist spin-coating, baking, cooling and full-field UV-NIL process in a single platform for 200/300mm wafers.

The GermanLitho proprietary CLIV (Contact Litho into Vacuum) technology ensures the accuracy of imprinted structures and replication fidelity. It enables fully-automatic mass production of high resolution (better than 10nm*), high aspect ratio (better than 10 : 1 *) nanostructures on 200/300mm wafers. The system adopts a modular design, allowing users to freely configure the number of modules for cleaning, coating, baking, cooling, plasma surface treatment, AOI inspection, Post Cure, and nanoimprinting according to process requirements and production cycle time, achieving optimal production efficiency. From the replication and exchange of flexible composite workings stamps, to NIL wafer pre-processing and high resolution nanoimprinting, all process steps are carried out full-automatically in a closed and clean mini-environment to ensure the imprint quality. The GL300 Cluster nanoimprint mass production system is suitable for large-scale mass production of DOE, AR/VR waveguide (including slanted gratings), WGP, metalens, biochip, LED PSS, MLA and other applications.

Major function
