HP has entered into its first nanotechnology licensing deal which would make it possible to manufacture powerful semiconductors in a cheap manner. Technique based on HP approach to nanoimprint lithography has been developed by Nanolithosolutions which would be used for stamping out patterns for wires for making computer chips. This is the first deal with regards to nanotechnology that the company has signed in the past twelve years.
The technology costs one tenth of the existing systems and this tool can help in adapting existing equipment to high resolution nanoimprint lithography machines and then are used for creation of miniaturized patterns which can be measured in nanometers. After creation of master mold copies can be stamped out in a quick manner and filled with wires for a manufacturing process in order to develop powerful chips at effective costs. As of now prototypes have been created with fifteen nanometers width of wire which is just one third of the size of the advanced chips.
