Heidelberg Instruments and SwissLitho AG joined forces in early 2018. Together, they offer the widest range of direct write micro- and nanolithography systems in the world, from low-cost desktop solutions to high-end writers for substrates larger than 1m. Their products are used for prototyping in R&D, industrial manufacturing, and academic research. A full wafer can be patterned in a few minutes with sub-micron resolution, making mask aligners obsolete. Single-nm resolution with simultaneous pattern inspection is achieved with the unique NanoFrazor technology. Systems from both companies can be used to obtain micro- and nanostructures with high aspect ratio as well as in grayscale mode, which makes them particularly suitable to create templates for NIL applications.

Company Overview
Ragedara Mine is one of the world´s purest vein graphite producers located in Sri Lanka. It has been in operation since early 18th century. At present, we mine ultra-pure highly crystalline vein graphite with 97% to 99% range of carbon. Over the years, it has been renowned for its superior quality and uniqueness
Ragedara Mine
Ragedara Graphite Mine was the world’s biggest graphite producer until the end of the Second World War, according to the British Mining Registry it stood in the No.1 position of Sri Lanka. During that time, Ragedara Mine produced 18ktpa at its peak and supplied most of the demand for high purity crystalline graphite during the Industrial Revolution and World War I & II. The graphite mineralization at Ragedara mine is of natural crystalline type with the largest vein observed on site reaching close to 2m in width. Average vein width is estimated at 30 – 50 cm and average length is 25m. These veins typically show needle-like macro morphology and flake- like micro morphology. Graphite from Ragedara was tested to be the purest vein graphite in the world.
Strengths
The mine is administrated by a team of skilful Managers, Mining, Processing & Maintenance Engineers and our Board of Directors consist of mainly German qualified engineers. The unique purity and the large mono crystals structure of Ragedara Graphite makes it one of the world best materials to make best quality Graphene, Graphite-Oxide, nanotubes, expanded Graphite and super conductive Graphite. Our 99+C% Graphite powder shows almost identical Raman-appearance like synthetic Graphite. The Lubricity effect of our Graphite is also very unique and the anti-gravitational effect Graphene made out of our Graphite became the best in many tests worldwide.
