摘要
Nanoimprint molds are traditionally made from silicon. Silicon molds suffer from distinct disadvantages as they are brittle, prone to damage, scratch easily, and can only be used in a planar format. This has limited their use in higher throughput systems where flexible molds are required such as in roll-to-roll and roll-to-plate systems. Nickel (Ni) molds, which are now de-rigueur in both batch and roller nanoimprint processes, can be used to address these problems, but fabrication and durability issues limit their availability and effectiveness in production. In this report, the authors introduce a fabrication route that has the potential to overcome the fabrication, quality, and wear problems of Ni molds. The new process relies on atomic layer deposition to form a smooth and high-aspect ratio patterned layer of iridium (Ir) on a Ni substrate. A large area nanohole array mold was fabricated using displacement Talbot lithography to demonstrate this process. The authors show the use of such composite molds via a batch thermal imprinting process to fabricate 70nm hole arrays onto polycarbonate templates with a 610% tolerance in diameter between the polycarbonate and the composite mold, and less than 1% of defects.
