Abstract
Meta-optics have been built in lab settings for years but not on a commercially viable scale. Using electron beam lithography works well in the lab, but this is not an option for volume manufacturing. Patterning subwavelength meta-atom for visible has been just beyond the capabilities of the high-volume deep UV lithography. Due to this patterning barrier, entry into visible meta-optic volume manufacturing has not yet been possible. Moxtek has overcome this barrier and established a volume process line for visible meta-optics utilizing nanoimprint lithography (NIL). Process stability data to qualify the process line for visible meta-optics, confirms that volume manufacturing of metalenses is possible and the patterning barrier has been removed.
