XRnanotech, a leading Swiss nanotechnology company, acquires Microworks, an innovative manufacturer of standardized and custom products for non-destructive testing and quality control using X-rays. With the acquisition, XRnanotech strengthens its expertise in lithography processes and electroplating, expanding its portfolio to include microstructured products, which are used in areas such as X-ray imaging..

瑞士领先的纳米技术公司XRANotech收购了Microworks，Microworks是一家创新的标准化定制产品制造商，用于X射线无损检测和质量控制。通过此次收购，XRANotech加强了其在光刻工艺和电镀方面的专业知识，扩大了其产品组合，包括用于X射线成像等领域的微结构产品。。

XRnanotech AG is an award-winning Swiss high-tech start-up, founded as a spin-off from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen by physicist Dr. Florian Döring, MBA. With 14 employees, the company based at the Switzerland Innovation Park Innovaare manufactures innovative nanostructures and optics with outstanding precision for research institutions and high-tech companies worldwide.

XRANnotech AG是一家屡获殊荣的瑞士高科技初创公司，由物理学家Florian Döring博士（MBA）从位于维利根的保罗·舍勒研究所（PaulScherrer Institute）衍生而来。该公司位于瑞士创新园Innovaare，拥有14名员工，为全球研究机构和高科技公司制造创新的纳米结构和光学器件，具有卓越的精度。

The applications of their products range from X-ray microscopy to optical communications and the semiconductor sector..

其产品的应用范围从X射线显微镜到光通信和半导体行业。。

Microworks began 15 years ago by producing high-quality watch parts using X-ray lithography, then expanded into X-ray optical gratings and, most recently, into TALINT, an X-ray interferometer. Microworks is located near the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany and currently employs 7 people.

Microworks在15年前开始使用X射线光刻技术生产高质量的手表部件，然后扩展到X射线光学光栅，最近扩展到X射线干涉仪TALINT。Microworks位于德国卡尔斯鲁厄理工学院（KIT）附近，目前有7名员工。

Under the management of CEO Dr. Florian Döring, both companies will leverage their synergies to offer customized solutions for new applications..

在首席执行官弗洛里安·德林博士的管理下，两家公司将利用其协同作用为新应用程序提供定制解决方案。。

Microworks’ products complement XRnanotech’s established portfolio in the micrometer range. This enables the Swiss high-tech company to serve customers focused on microstructures and X-ray imaging. “Through the planned integration while maintaining the Karlsruhe location, our customers will benefit from the technical expertise of both companies,” says CEO Dr.

Microworks的产品补充了XRnanotech在微米范围内建立的投资组合。这使这家瑞士高科技公司能够为专注于微观结构和X射线成像的客户提供服务。首席执行官Dr。

Florian Döring. “Our product range expands significantly, and we can provide customized solutions for new applications.” Dr. Joachim Schulz, founder of Microworks, adds: “With this acquisition, we ensure continuity for our existing customers while unlocking various synergy effects for new clients and new markets.”.

弗洛里安·德林（FlorianDöring）“我们的产品范围大大扩大，我们可以为新应用提供定制解决方案。”Microworks创始人约阿希姆·舒尔茨博士补充道：“通过此次收购，我们确保了现有客户的连续性，同时为新客户和新市场释放了各种协同效应。”。

X-ray Lithography Enables Optics with High Aspect Ratios

X射线光刻技术使光学器件具有高纵横比

The production of the microstructures is based on various lithography processes, particularly Deep X-ray Lithography. This process allows for structures that are 20 times taller than wide – in some cases, even up to 50 to 100 times. This high aspect ratio enables exceptional performance of Karlsruhe’s X-ray optics.

微结构的生产基于各种光刻工艺，特别是深X射线光刻。这个过程允许结构比宽度高20倍，在某些情况下甚至高达50到100倍。这种高纵横比使卡尔斯鲁厄的X射线光学器件具有优异的性能。

Additionally, this method results in very smooth sidewalls, which is particularly important for optical applications in the visible and infrared spectrum. Other lithography processes, such as electron beam, UV, and 2-photon lithography, along with gold, nickel, and nickel alloy electroplating, are also part of Microworks’ technology portfolio..

此外，这种方法可以产生非常光滑的侧壁，这对于可见光和红外光谱的光学应用尤为重要。其他光刻工艺，如电子束、紫外线和双光子光刻，以及金、镍和镍合金电镀，也是Microworks技术组合的一部分。。

High-Precision Interferometry with TALINT

TALINT高精度干涉测量

In addition to high-quality X-ray optical components such as apertures, gratings, X-ray lenses, beam stops, and resolution targets, XRnanotech will now also offer the TALINT series X-ray interferometers. TALINT allows imaging in three modes: absorption, phase contrast, and dark-field contrast. “This technology is unique worldwide, enabling the extraction of significantly more structural information from X-ray images,” says Dr.

除了高质量的X射线光学元件，如光圈、光栅、X射线透镜、光束停止器和分辨率目标外，XRnanotech现在还将提供TALINT系列X射线干涉仪。TALINT允许以三种模式成像：吸收，相衬和暗场对比。“这项技术在世界范围内是独一无二的，能够从X射线图像中提取更多的结构信息，”Dr。

Joachim Schulz. “We are very excited that, with XRnanotech’s help, even more international customers will benefit from our technology.”.

约阿希姆·舒尔茨。“我们非常高兴，在XRanNotech的帮助下，更多的国际客户将从我们的技术中受益。”。
