General information

Company profile	Heidelberg Instruments is one of the leading international players in the design, development and manufacture of high-precision maskless photolithography systems for micro- and nanofabrication. The systems are tailored to meet specific customer needs in the academia and industry. Multiphoton Optics, a Heidelberg Instruments company and pioneer in 3D laser lithography via two-photon polymerization (TPP), closes the gap between conventional laser lithography – the basis of the company’s strong core business – and the nanostructuring technology (t-SPL) offered by Heidelberg Instruments nano division. Key facts: Founded in 1984, ~ 300 employees, more than 1,000 installed systems worldwide, represented in 7 countries at 11 locations, global partner network on all continents
Products & Services	The Heidelberg Instruments systems and technology pool comprises high-precision maskless aligner (MLA), laser lithography systems for direct writing of 2D and 3D microstructures to mask-making, and thermal scanning probe lithography (tSPL) for advanced nanofabrication. Multiphoton Optics’ 3D laser lithography systems (TPP) enable the high-precision production with high throughput of complex functional microstructures in a single process step. The fields of applications are in micro-optics and microsystems technology, electronics, photonics, advanced packaging applications, MEMS, micro-mechanics and biomedical engineering. In the Process and Application Labs (PAL) located in Germany, Switzerland and China, the engineers train and collaborate with customers to make the most of their Heidelberg Instruments equipment.
References and export activities	With more than 1,000 installed systems worldwide in more than 50 countries, the products satisfy customers requirements in research and development as well as in the industry. Heidelberg Instruments is organizing the sales activities as direct sales via own branches located in Americas, Europe and Asia, or via a global distributorship network, and represented in Israel by Paitech Ltd. (microfabrication tools) and Nano Instruments Ltd. (nanofabrication tools).
Target group	Our focus interest on the Israeli market is the initiation and further development of sustainable cooperation with universities and application-oriented research and development institutes as well as manufacturers in the industry from the electronics, semiconductor, photonics and micro-optics sector. Further interest is on micromechanics as well as biomedical engineering and life sciences.
Competitive advantages	With more than 36 years of innovation, and the extensive know-how in developing customized lithography solutions in the upper mentioned industries and applications fields, we support our customers from the very first design idea, via prototyping and small pilot series to industrial volume production.
