  3. Introduction to Nanoimprint Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) Conventional NIL processes, coined as stamp and step processes require thermal cycles between 140°C and 180°C and high pressures during the hot embossing procedure. Thermal and mechanical loads involved in these processes represent a nearly prohibitive burden for fast and high precision alignment. The mechanical masses to be moved in high throughput equipment require a large degree of complex mechanical handling.

  4. Background on UV-Nanoimprint UV based nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) The low pressure (<1bar) as well as the absence of any thermalcycles appears very attractive for high precision printing down to 10 nm and relaxes the technical requirements for placement accuracy and pattern fidelity to a large extent.

  5. Wafer level UV-Nanoimprint • Step & Repeat UV Nanoimprint • A resist is spin coated on the substrate. • For highest resolution and minimum distortion a rigid fused silica template is used to imprint features die by die. The template is pressed into a thin layer of imprint resist via uniform pressure of a few hundred millibar. • After alignment of substrate and template in contact UV light is used to harden the resist. • After detachment the template is moved to the next position on the wafer and the process is repeated until the wafer is completely patterned.

  6. Introduction on FETs

  7. Introduction on FinFETs
