January 16, 2012 — Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan, China, has signed off its Vistec Lithography B.V. electron-beam lithography (e-beam litho) system Vistec EBPG5000pES.
The Vistec EBPG5000pES electron-beam lithography system will be used for photonics and optoelectronics research and development, applied with application support and service from Vistec, stated Prof. Jinsong Xia, director of the Optoelectronic Micro & Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (OMFC) at WNLO.

The Vistec EBPG5000pES offers a flexible electron-optical column and high-brightness TFE source, allowing 50 and 100kV operation, a spot size down to <2.2nm, and creation of nano-lithography structures <8nm. The system incorporates an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that will be beneficial in the multi-user university environment.
"The electron beam lithography system at WNLO is the first operational Vistec EBPG5000pES in the P.R. China, which opens great opportunities to a sustainable business development for Vistec in that region," said Erwin Mueller, Managing Director Vistec Lithography, B.V.
