UWA accept delivery of their Heidelberg Instruments MLA150 Direct Write Lithography tool
Nano Vacuum delivered and installed another Heidelberg Instruments MLA150 Direct Write Lithography system, this time at Australian National Fabrication Facility -West Australia based at University of Western Australia, in July 2022. Despite the complication in accessing the cleanroom, located on level 4 of the building, Nano Vacuum successfully delivered the system using a crane for the transfer, lifting it up to the balcony through to the lab.
James Carter, Director of Nano Vacuum Australia & NZ commented “We are thrilled that Nano Vacuum continues to support ANFF nodes acquire cutting edge Direct Write Lithography tools, enabling clients to realise their research, development and commercialisation in micro and nanofabrication applications.”
UWA stated “The MLA 150 maskless aligner will be the first such tool in WA to complement the advanced photolithography capabilities within ANFF-WA. It will provide the highly anticipated support for the two ANFF-WA flagship capabilities of (i) IR Technologies, and (ii) MEMS which we share nationally and internationally via the ANFF framework. Procurement was made possible via the ARC LIEF program.”
