Tekscend Photomask to Exhibit and Present at NNT 2026

Showcasing the Latest Nanoimprint Master Mold Manufacturing Technologies for Next-Generation Devices

Tekscend Photomask Corp. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Teruo Ninomiya; hereinafter "Tekscend Photomask") will exhibit and present at NNT 2026, an international conference hosted by the Nanoimprint Technology Research Association of the Japan Society of Applied Physics.

The conference will be held over four days, from October 13 to 16, 2026, at Sendai Sunplaza in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. It brings together universities, research institutions, companies, and other organizations to present their research findings while sharing the latest developments in nanoimprint and nanoprint technologies. The conference covers a wide range of topics, from processes, materials, and equipment to applications in electronics, optics, biotechnology, and energy.

Tekscend Photomask will exhibit and present at the conference. At its booth, the company will showcase nanoimprint master molds enabled by state-of-the-art electron-beam lithography and innovative etching technologies, along with its nanoimprint prototyping and development services.

The presentation will focus on nanoimprint lithography (NIL), which is used to create precise nanoscale features essential for device performance, particularly in AR/VR optical components. It will introduce the master mold manufacturing technologies that underpin NIL, highlighting Tekscend Photomask's technologies for forming complex pattern shapes and profiles directly on master molds. The presentation will also explain how these technologies can simplify the nanoimprint lithography process.
