Nano alignment
HP Advantage: Alignment at the micro and nano level
Nanotechnology is a booming industry in everything from semiconductors to energy. One of its challenges is the difficulty of aligning such tiny structures with each other. HP's alignment and displacement measurement technology works at the micro level, as well as the nano level, using only standard optical instruments and needing no valuable chip real estate for special alignment marks or patterns.

Nanoimprint lithography
HP Advantage: Mold-to-wafer alignment and process stability at a lower cost
Conventional semiconductor processes rely on light to produce patterns of circuits on silicon wafers, but as feature size becomes smaller, light or even UV is no longer adequate for features as small as 30 nanometers. HP's Nano-imprint lithography uses an imprint method that allows the creation of features as small as 15 nanometers. HP's key advantage is in mold-to-wafer alignment and process stability at a lower cost for the tool.

Transparent transistors
HP Advantage: Created using amorphous multi-component oxides
The rapid evolution of the field of transparent electronics may hold the key to new industries and many new, more effective or less costly consumer products. Uses could range from transparent displays in the windshield of an automobile to cell phones, televisions, copiers, "smart" glass, or even games and toys. Transparent transistors can be created using new materials called amorphous heavy-metal cation multi-component oxides. The electronic capabilities of these materials compare with organic and polymer materials that are the basis of millions of dollars of research development each year.
