Introduction to nano imprint lithography
Nano imprint (or nanoimprint) lithography, abbreviated as NIL, is a relatively old patterning technology which has gained traction in the last few years.
Nano imprint technology was introduced back in 1996 by Prof. Chou as an alternative fabrication method to traditional optical lithography. … Continue reading […]
The two main categories of nanoimprinting
While there are many different flavours of nanoimprinting processes, two main ones are:
- Thermal nanoimprinting (also called as hot embossing)
- UV-nanoimprinting … Continue reading […]
Variants of nano imprint lithography
In addition to the above mentioned thermal and UV-nano imprint lithography, there a big number of variety of processes about nanoimprint that have flourished in recent years, such as laser assisted direct imprint, Sub-10 nm NIL, combined thermal and UV nanoimprint, electrical field-assisted NIL, soft UV-NIL, reverse NIL, Jet and Flash imprint lithography process … Continue reading […]
