Our History

In April 2014, Canon Inc. completed the acquisition of MII semiconductor business. The business was renamed CNT.  Canon Inc., together with CNT,  became the market and technology leader for high-resolution, low cost-of-ownership Nanoimprint Lithography systems and solutions for the semiconductor industry.
