    摘要: A highly sensitive accelerometer is disclosed in which the current is measured across a pair of electrodes resulting from voltage pulses from a pulse generator. The electrodes are located within a vacuum chamber. One of the electrodes is cantilevered and has its free end suspended over the other fixed electrode. The amount of current through the vacuum gap between the electrodes is determinative of acceleration since the current is an exponential function of the distance between the electrodes and the distance between the electrodes changes linearly with acceleration.

    摘要: A lithographic method for forming a pattern within a surface on a substrate includes providing a substrate with a degradable material, molding the material to imprint a pattern thereon, depositing a layer of a second material over the imprinted pattern, removing portions of the layer of the second material to expose portions of the imprinted pattern of degradable material and removing portions of the exposed degradable material to leave an open pattern in the layer of second material.

    摘要: In accordance with the invention, a lateral dimension of a microscale device on a substrate is reduced or adjusted by the steps of providing the device with a soft or softened exposed surface; placing a guiding plate adjacent the soft or softened exposed surface; and pressing the guiding plate onto the exposed surface. Under pressure, the soft material flows laterally between the guiding plate and the substrate. Such pressure induced flow can reduce the lateral dimension of line spacing or the size of holes and increase the size of mesas. The same process also can repair defects such as line edge roughness and sloped sidewalls. This process will be referred to herein as pressed self-perfection by liquefaction or P-SPEL.

    摘要: A method to forming a pattern on a surface of a substrate, including the steps of providing a mold having a molding surface comprised of one or more protruding features and one or more recessed features for imprinting a pattern. The pattern comprising at least one feature having a lateral dimension of about 2000 nanometer or less. Providing a monomolecular anti-adhesive layer on the mold which is either continuous or discontinuous, prior to depositing a hardenable, flowable material onto the mold and recessed features. The mold and substrate are pressed together, while the flowable material hardens and adheres to the moldable material and the substrate. Upon separation of the mold and the substrate, the hardened material remains on the substrate.

    摘要: This invention relates to the fabrication of large area nanoimprint molds having complex patterns with minimal or no use of direct-writing, such as electron beam lithography, ion, laser beam, or mechanical beam lithography. This can be accomplished by forming a pattern of simple nanoscale features and converting the simple features into more complex nanoscale features by a process comprising shadow deposition. The process may also include steps of uniform deposition, etching and smoothing depending on the shape of the complex features.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a lithographic method and apparatus for creating micrometer sub-micrometer patterns in a thin film coated on a substrate. The invention utilizes the self-formation of periodic, supramolecular pillar arrays (49) in a melt to form the patterns. The self-formation is induced by placing a plate or mask (35) a distance above the polymer films (33). The pillars bridge the plate and the mask, having a height equal to the plate-mask separation and preferably 2-7 times that of the film's initial thickness. If the surface of the mask has a protruding pattern, the pillar array is formed with the edge of the pillar array aligned to the boundary of the mask pattern.

    摘要: The addition of thin coatings (less than and approaching monomolecular coatings) of persistent release materials comprising preferred compounds of the formula: RELEASE-M(X)n-1— RELEASE-M(X)n-m-1Qm, Or RELEASE-M(OR)n-1—, wherein RELEASE is a molecular chain of from 4 to 20 atoms in length, preferably from 6 to 16 atoms in length, which molecule has either polar or non-polar properties; M is a metal atom, semiconductor atom, or semimetal atom; X is a halogen or cyano, especially Cl, F, or Br; Q is hydrogen or alkyl group; M is the number Q represents R is hydrogen, alkyl or phenyl, preferably hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and N is the valence −1 of M, and n-m-1 is at least 1 provides good release properties. The coated substrates are particularly good for a lithographic method and apparatus for creating ultra-fine (sub-25 nm) patters in a thin film coated on a substrate is provided, in which a mold having at least one protruding feature is pressed into a thin film carried on a substrate. The protruding feature in the mold creates a recess of the thin film. The mold is removed from the film. The thin film then is processed such that the thin film in the recess is removed exposing the underlying substrate. Thus, the patterns in the mold is replaced in the thin film, completing the lithography. The patterns in the thin film will be, in subsequent process, reproduced in the substrate or in another material which is added onto the substrate.
