Benefits

Best performance tool in the laser lithography market

Highest resolution in the LBL market

We promise 300 nm lines-and-spaces with 600 nm pitch. We demonstrate results that go beyond the specifications.

High-dynamic-range grayscale lithography

Our 12-bit gray level dynamic range allows modulation of the laser beam intensity at 4096 levels at a rate of 10 million times per second – only one hundred nanoseconds elapse between these operations.

High precision optomechanics

PICOMASTER stages and optics are built from the top-of-the-line components. Our stages offer unprecedented stability and precision. When the two are combined, it offers a powerful tool that is able to meet and exceed your expectations.
