Title:
Development of X-ray Lithography Processes for Volume Manufacturing of High-energy X-ray Optics and Gratings
Agreement Number:
947986
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2020 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
The worldwide market for diffractive optical elements (gratings, zone plates) is estimated to be over $500m US [1]. While existing products developed over the last few years have propelled Applied Nanotools Inc. (ANT) to be a leading supplier of X-ray optics worldwide, current fabrication methods have limited capacity to address growing requirements for higher specifications, particularly where the field is trending which is toward higher energy systems. This project will serve to transition our current manufacturing to higher performance and higher yield to meet the demands of the rapidly growing field of X-ray microscopy, microanalysis, and inspection. The project will open new markets that are inaccessible with our current technology.
