The costs of a current generation (90nm) photolithography
tools for building integrated circuits is now on the order of
$25M. The cost of next generation generation lithography tools
are expected to be even more as the equipment makers move to
yet more exotic technologies. The semiconductor industry is
searching for new ways to reliably and cheaply create sub-100
nm structures. The nanotech community is looking ways to create
structures with substantially smaller features today.
Nano-imprint lithography offers a new paradigm
for printing nanometer scale structures for diverse applications
in areas ranging from life sciences to semi conductors. Join
the leaders of innovation in nano imprint lithography from industry
and academia to explore the promise and challenges of this burgeoning
area.

Panelists
Dr. S. V. Sreenivasan, CTO, Molecular Imprints,
is one of the founders of the company and one of the inventors
of the technology while a Professor of Mechanical Engineering
at the University of Texas at Austin. S.V. is a recognized authority
in the areas of robotics and nano-precision machines
John Pong, Director of Sales, Nanonex Inc.
comes to Nanonex with 23 years of successful sales achievements
in the field of Electron Beam Lithography through Leica Microsystems;
and in the field of Electron Microscopy through Leica Microsystems
(Cambridge Instruments), Philips Electronic Instruments and
AMRAY (KLA-Tencor). His ability to promote new products and
relentless pursuit of developing and winning new businesses
has enabled him to establish market leadership in the product
areas that he has been engaged in.
Dr. Will Tong, Researcher, Quantum Science
Research Group of HP Labs, received his PhD in chemistry at
UCLA in 1994. He was a postdoctoral scientist at Lawrence Berkeley
Lab and an NSF International postdoctoral fellow in Italy, performing
research on materials properties of semiconductors. Since then
he has been involved in R&D of mask fabrication for EUV
lithography and optical proximity correction. He is currently
a researcher at HP Inkjet Printing Group assigned to the Quantum
Science Research Group at HP Labs to lead nanoimprint R&D
effort.
Dr. Charles D. Schaper, Senior Research
Scientist, Stanford University, is the inventor of the MxL (Molecular
Transfer Lithography) nano-printing and nano-imprinting strategies,
and discovered PVA-based surface topography replication chemistry
for the formation of water-dissolvable biodegradable templates
that drive the MxL methods.
