flag Imec mass-produces ultra-small, uniform nanopores using EUV lithography, advancing biosensors for genomics and medicine.

flag Imec has achieved the first wafer-scale production of solid-state nanopores using EUV lithography on 300mm silicon wafers, enabling mass production of highly uniform nanopores as small as 10 nanometers with potential for sizes below 5nm. flag The CMOS-compatible process overcomes past scalability and variability challenges, yielding a signal-to-noise ratio of 6.2, indicating strong performance for detecting molecular translocations. flag This breakthrough paves the way for high-throughput biosensor arrays with applications in genomics, diagnostics, personalized medicine, and molecular data storage, transforming nanopore technology from lab research to practical, large-scale use.
