Nanopatterning planar and non-planar mold surfaces for a polymer replication

Cech J., Pranov H., Kofod G., Matschuk M., Murthy S., Cheong L.Y., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

We present a novel process to create nanopatterns on planar and non-planar polymer replication tools, such as metallic molds for an injection molding. Such tools with nanopatterned cavities then allow affordable mass production of nanopatterned [...]

Au Nano-Wire Transferring onto HSQ by Nano Imprinting Technology

Liu J.F., Hsu Y.J., Chen J.H., Chen S.Z., Huang F.S., Chen J.H., Chen S.Z., National Tsing Hua University, TW

In this paper, we present the technique of transferring Au nano-wire on HSQ by using nano imprint. The Au nano-wires were fabricated by electroless-plating and investigated by TEM analysis. The stable nano imprinting and suitable [...]

Step and Repeat UV Imprint Process Technology for Wafer-Scale Nano-Manufacturing

Watts M., Truskett V., Choi J., Mackay C., McMackin I., Schumaker N., Schumaker P., Babbs D., Sreenivasan S.V., Schumaker N., Schumaker P., Molecular Imprints, Inc, US

The Step and Flash Imprint Lithography (S-FILTM) process is a step and repeat nano-replication technique based on UV curable low viscosity liquids. S-FIL uses field-to-field drop dispensing of the UV curable liquids for the step [...]
