Us
At Kelvin Nanotechnology Ltd (KNT) we provide nanofabrication solutions to industry and academia delivered through our state of the art James Watt Nanofabrication Centre in Glasgow.

We specialise in high resolution, large area, multilevel electron beam lithography for applications such as transistor gate writing, imprint masks, optical elements, photonic crystals, nanotextured surfaces and many more.

E-beam
Kelvin Nanotechnology has over twenty years experience in electron beam lithography and nanofabrication. Electron beam lithography provides a route to rapid and flexible nano-patterning for a vast range of applications. Single or multi-level patterns can be written onto almost any type of substrate then transferred by etching or depositing any number of metals, insulators, biocompatible materials, optical or electronic layers.

Our core technology is based around two cutting edge industrial machines; a Leica VB6 and EBPG5. Features below 10nm can be written easily and quickly on up to 200mm wafers and down to 5mm pieces. Full industrial service contracts ensure 96% up time and with 35,000 jobs written in the last ten years. This high utility translates into low prices.

Nanofab
Kelvin Nanotechnology provides a wide range of R&D and prototyping services for the semiconductor, optoelectronic, bioelectronic and nanoelectronic market places.

Our Core Competencies are:

• Electron Beam Lithography
• Molecular Beam Epitaxy
• Nanofabrication services
• Technology prototyping and proof of concept
• Product development

As the proliferation of nanotechnology into new application spaces gathers pace, KNT is constantly expanding and developing our industrially facing processes and technology. We are keen to learn about your applications and technical challenges and how we might use our expertise and experience to satisfy your micro and nanofabrication needs.

KNT applies its extensive experience to produce 0.25 µm T-gates on GaN HFET devices for QinetiQ. GaN is a material likely to be used for next-generation microwave communication links and radar systems.

Atomic force microscope probes with an integrated temperature sensor are now a product available from us for supply to instruments manufacturers. Developed jointly with the University of Glasgow, these probes combine conventional micromachining and high resolution 3D lithography to give reproducible cutting edge performance while utilising a low cost batch fabrication method.
