CEZAMAT Boosts Advanced Photonics R&D with State-of-the-Art UV Nanoimprint System from EV Group

WARSAW, Poland and ST. FLORIAN, Austria, April 21, 2026 – CEZAMAT, a world-class research center for advanced materials and technologies, and EV Group (EVG), a leading provider of innovative process solutions and expertise serving leading-edge and future semiconductor designs and chip integration schemes, today announced that CEZAMAT’s research infrastructure has been enhanced with the installation of a new EVG^®6200 NT SmartNIL^® UVnanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) system. 

The EVG6200 NT system provides state-of-the-art mask alignment technology combined with industry-leading UV-NIL capability. EVG’s proprietary SmartNIL technology incorporates multi-use soft-stamp processing, enabling unmatched throughput and scalability while supporting the patterning of high-resolution, high-topography structures.

At CEZAMAT laboratories, the EVG6200 NT will be used for the replication and scaling of a wide range of developed micro- and nanostructures. These include diffractive optical elements and various micro-optical components – such as lenses, waveguides and gratings – for use in photonic integrated circuits, detectors and free-space optics.

“We believe that this investment from the Competence Centre for Microelectronics and Photonics project, funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO), will enhance our capabilities, strengthen our collaborations and further establish CEZAMAT as a leading nanotechnology R&D facility. Our expectations and enthusiasm are high as we embark on this significant enhancement of our equipment capabilities,” stated Piotr Wiśniewski, research assistant professor and head of the Intelligent Semiconductor Systems Department (SEMINSYS) at CEZAMAT. 

According to Dr. Thomas Glinsner, Corporate Technology Director of EV Group, “We are proud to support CEZAMAT as they expand their capabilities and build on more than a decade of successful collaboration. Europe continues to be a key hub for semiconductor and photonics innovation, and institutions like CEZAMAT play a vital role in advancing next‑generation device manufacturing across the region.”
