Molecular Imprints, a spin-out of the University of Texas at Austin, has sold its semiconductor imprint lithography equipment business to imaging giant Canon for an undisclosed sum.
Canon will add the Texas-based firm’s technology to its efforts to develop nanoimprint technology, which Canon has been working on since 2004. The two firms have been working together on the mass production of Molecular’s Jet and Flash Imprint Technology since 2009 – a partnership which led to the purchase.
