Recent development of demolding technology in nanoimprint lithography

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Current status of advanced ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) of Jet-and-Flash Imprint lithography (J-FIL) and UV-NIL using condensable gas is introduced. Demolding technologies of releasing cured resins from mold cavities by using release layers for mold surfaces and surfactant additives to UV-curable resins are summarized. Recent studies by mechanical measurements, surface analyses, and morphological inspections in terms of realizing mass production of nanoimprint lithography devices are described.
