two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
Ultra-High Resolution Scanning thermal probe nanolithography with hybrid micro-nanolithography & 3D lithography capabilities
Reference number
2021/1809/URSNL/RB
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 38514200 - Scanning probe microscopes
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
Ultra-High Resolution Scanning thermal probe nanolithography with hybrid micro-nanolithography & 3D lithography capabilities.
The AFM/thermal lithography system will enable patterning physical and chemical features with the nanoscale resolution, which is decisive for molecular devices and 2D-material devices. In addition, the integration of AFM, laser writing and thermal imaging has the potential for the development of new experimental techniques on correlation aspects of scanning based nanoscopy.
