The Molecular Vapor Deposition tool

The MVD is located in cleanroom 1

The Applied Microstructures MVD 100 system deposits molecular films on surfaces. These films serve a wide range of purposes ranging from antistiction coatings of nanoimprint lithography stamps to protecting MEMS structures. At Danchip the MVD is an essential tool for nanoimprint lithography.
