NanoInk has closed a $6mn second round of financing led by the Lurie Investment Fund. NanoInk will use the funding to broaden its application-specific development efforts and accelerate delivery of the DPNWriter, scheduled for release in Q1 2003.
NanoInks patented Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) process enables the building of structures and patterning surfaces at the nano-scale using virtually any material, from biomolecules to metals. DPN draws molecules onto a surface using scanning probe microscope (SPM) technology. NanoInks current product, DPN System 1, enables customers to build structures as small as 10nm in an R&D environment. The second round of financing allows NanoInk to launch more robust tools, ultimately aiming at an industrial process. The DPNWriter is a dedicated process instrument with "multi-pen" capabilities that will enable higher throughput. NanoInks applications teams are refining the process to support uses in the semiconductor and life sciences industries.
