Topco (5434), a leading provider of integrated services for key semiconductor and optical materials, has partnered with Japan’s top nanoimprint technology manufacturer, SCIVAX, to import and distribute nanoimprint equipment in Taiwan. From April 16 to April 18, Topco will showcase its foremost nanoimprint technology at Booth M308 of 2025 Touch Taiwan, located on the 4th floor of Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1.

SCIVAX’s nanoimprint processing is a key technology for manufacturing waveguides, enabling the precise transfer of fine nanometer-scale structures by pressing a designed pattern from a hard mold onto a resin-coated substrate. Compared to traditional optical component manufacturing methods, this technology offers significant advantages in cost reduction and compactness, making it widely used in the production of augmented reality (AR) glasses. Building on its expertise in optical simulation and fabrication technology, SCIVAX is also developing metalens, an advanced optical lens technology. By designing nano-scale structures on the lens surface to manipulate light, metalenses achieve an ultra-thin and more compact form, making them an ideal replacement for bulky traditional lenses and refractive components in optical systems.

Topco distributes the RubiQ nanoimprint equipment manufactured by SCIVAX, offering a modular design that allows customers to freely select different processing methods, such as thermal curing, UV curing, pressure control, and demolding control, to meet customized development needs. With various component configurations, up to seven processing combinations can be achieved. Compared to competing products, RubiQ nanoimprint equipment offers superior distortion control, making it the best choice for manufacturing waveguide applications such as AR glasses.

As optical sensing technology is increasingly applied in medical devices, surveillance systems, smartphone cameras, and CMOS image sensors, Topco has identified a market opportunity and taken the lead in introducing the RubiQ nanoimprint equipment. Topco CEO, Dennis Chen, stated, “Nanoimprint technology will revolutionize the design and performance of optical devices such as smartphone cameras and displays, particularly in fields like optical lenses, AR/VR wearable devices, and autonomous driving.” In 2024, sales of RubiQ nanoimprint equipment in the Japanese market have been steadily growing. To meet the rising industry demand, Topco has expanded the distribution of RubiQ to Taiwan, aiming to create new business opportunities in the optical sensing market.
