Short description of company<br />

The INKA - Institut für nanotechnische Kunststoff-Anwendungen (Institute of Polymer Nanotechnology) was<br />

founded in 2004 between the Paul Scherrer Institut Villigen/Schweiz (PSI) and the University of Applied Sciences<br />

Northwestern-Switzerland (FHNW).<br />

The PSI has a long tradition in scientific research in particular in conjunction with large facilities like neutron- or<br />

synchrotron sources. More than 10 years ago the Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology (LMN) was founded<br />

within the PSI and has developed into a major player on an international level in selected areas of<br />

nanotechnology.<br />

The FHNW operates since many years the most important polymer technology center in Switzerland, the IKT -<br />

Institut für Kunststofftechnik (Institute of Polymer Technology), where students can take undergraduate and<br />

graduate courses in polymer engineering and technology. A close cooperation with the “Kunststoff- Ausbildungs-<br />

und Technologiezentrum (KATZ)” in Aarau/Switzerland safeguards up to date research and educational<br />

resources.<br />

The INKA builds on the existing strengths and competences of the PSI and FHNW and fully exploits the synergy<br />

between these institutions.<br />

1. Profile: RTD: Functionalisation of polymer surfaces via controlled surface structures<br />

DESCRIPTION:<br />

There is a strong demand for plastic surfaces with controlled surface structures, e.g. for anti-wetting properties<br />

towards different fluids, for microfluidic…. The production of products with surfaces with periodic nanopatterns by<br />

injection moulding is very economical.<br />

The toolmaking for micro- and nanoreplication is done at the PSI-clean room laboratories (>300m2 class 10 or<br />

1000). There INKA is provided with state of the art processes:<br />

• Lithography: optical (up to 200mmØ substrates), electron-beam, X-ray (13 nm EUV exposure),<br />

• Pattern-transfer: wet and dry etching, nickel electroplating,<br />

• Thin-film technology: several CVD and PVD equipment.<br />

In addition, we operate several hot-embossing machines in a clean-room environment for micro- and<br />

nanopatterning of substrates up to 150mmØ.
