Full description

Master Thesis – S&R NIL – Seamless and Reliable Nanoimprint Lithography (f/m/d) – Team Nanoimprint Lithography

Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) is a key technology for the cost-effective and high-resolution replication of nanostructures over large areas. By pressing a nanostructured stamp into a UV-curable polymer, functional surfaces can be fabricated with nanoscale precision. These structures are essential for applications in photonics, sensing, catalysis, and biotechnology.

In the S&R NIL project, PROFACTOR focuses on advancing scalable nanoimprint lithography for industrial applications, with a specialemphasis on seamless stitching, pattern fidelity, and process reliability. By further developing an existing UV nanoimprint systemand optimizing imprint strategies, the project enables high-precision structuring of large areas, which is crucial for functional surfacesin optics, electronics, and sensing.

At PROFACTOR, located in Steyr, we are developing advanced NIL processes to enable new applications in micro- and nanofabrication.

This master thesis offers the opportunity to contribute to one of our current research projects and help shape the future of NIL-basedmanufacturing in Austria and beyond.
