Dear Colleagues, The nanoimprint lithography tool (NX-2000) at Birck is down and the service cost is $21,500. The usage of the tool has been quite low (total income over the last 3 1/2 years is $1,388; see below the details). We are evaluating future use of nanoimprint as this will be the basis if we should repair it and also determine the usage fee. Could you let Ron Reger know your anticipated usage in the next 1-2 years? Also what are your thoughts about maintaining this capability at Birck? Thanks in advance for your time. Best regards, Ali ********* Nanoimprint Usage ******* The usage story: [cid:image001.png@01D29425.DCE85480] Nanonex has been used very little and has been up almost 100% of the time for several years.
