At Diskcon 2008, TDI to deliver
presentation on MxL technology
for manufacturing patterned media

For patterning hard disk drive media, TDI will introduce new tooling and template technology for sub-35 nm feature size production

Santa Clara, CA, September 10, 2008 - During Diskcon USA 2008, a technical conference and trade show on high density data storage, a presentation will be given by Charles Schaper, Ph.D., President and CEO of TDI, at the Diskcon INNOVATION Zone, from 1:30-2:00, September 18. The presentation will introduce the exaGlide series 10 tool from TDI that provides a reliable yet cost-effective means of conducting the patented molecular transfer lithography (MxL) processes for patterned media applications, initially in a developmental capacity and scalable to pilot-scale and later production volumes. In addition, the latest nanopatterning results from TDI will be described, demonstrating that TDI’s PVA template replication technology is capable of achieving the small sub-35 nm structures in resist required for applications in manufacturing discrete track media and bit patterned media. At Diskcon USA 2008, which includes an entire day, September 18, devoted solely to applications of lithography for patterned media manufacturing, TDI will exhibit at
Booth 509.
