Zyvex
A research and development company focused on atomically precise manufacturing (APM). The organization develops tools, processes and workflows for atomic-scale patterning and device fabrication — including scanning-tunneling-microscope (STM) based lithography, MEMS-enabled parallel STM approaches, mask generation via thin-film and imprint workflows, and related measurement and automation techniques — and translates parts of this work into spin-off commercialization efforts in diagnostics and implantable microsystems.

Products
STM control system for automated atomic-precision lithography
A control system that converts commercial STM platforms into automated lithography tools for high-resolution, automated STM patterning and lithography workflows.
Real-time tip position correction controller
A controller that conditions piezo signals to correct creep and hysteresis in real time, reducing settling times and improving positional stability during STM operations.
Precision STM tip etching tool
Equipment and processes for producing reproducible, sharp STM tips to support reliable atomic-scale lithography.
Zyvex S200 Nanomanipulator
The Zyvex S200 is a manipulation and testing tool used inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or focused ion beam (FIB) system for micro- and nanoscale research and development applications.
