[15a-423-5] UV nanoimprint process for opaque materials by use of delayed UV cure resin
Keywords:UV nanoimprint, delayed UV cure
It is impossible to carry out the conventional UV-NIL when both the substrate and the mold are opaque. In this report, a novel UV-NIL process is developed by use of delayed UV cure resin, whose hardening starts after a few minutes passage from UV exposure. The Si substrate and the Si mold, which are opaque for the UV light, are used in order to carry out the new UV-NIL process. The used mold has the 2 μm half-pitch line-and-space pattern. The fabricated pattern on the delayed UV cure resin is almost same as the PMMA pattern fabricated by the conventional T-NIL. It is demonstrated that the new UV-NIL is successfully done for the opaque mold and substrate.
