XTPL will present its Ultra-Precise Dispensing (UPD) technology at the MCN Vendor Seminar Series. The presentation covers how UPD complements traditional cleanroom lithography with an additive, direct-write approach.
UPD is capable of printing feature sizes down to 1 micrometer. It uses highly concentrated nanopastes and enables precise micro-dispensing across non-planar surfaces, flexible substrates, and high-aspect-ratio structures without physical masks.
Case studies in the presentation include microLED display repair, semiconductor packaging interconnects, and functional biosensors. The seminar states that UPD integrates into R&D workflows.
The seminar will take place in person at the MCN Boardroom at 2:00pm, 19/10/2026, at the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication, 151 Wellington Road, Clayton, 3168.
Maciej Patelka, Business Development Manager at XTPL, is listed in connection with the seminar.

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science converted a single tungsten diselenide crystal into a working transistor by selectively oxidizing and reacting its top atomic layers. The resulting tungsten oxide served as a sub-nanometer gate dielectric, while tungsten ditelluride contacts cut the charge injection barrier to about a third of that seen with platinum.
