    摘要: A nano-imprint lithography process includes forming a multiplicity of hydroxyl groups on a surface of a substantially inorganic nano-imprint lithography template, heating the template, and reacting a pre-selected percentage of the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the template with a mono-functional, non-fluorinated compound to form a monolayer coating on the surface of the nano-imprint lithography template. The coated template may be contacted with a polymerizable composition disposed on a nano-imprint lithography substrate, and the polymerizable composition solidified to form a patterned layer. The coated template is separated from the patterned layer.

    摘要: Release agents with increased affinity toward nano-imprint lithography template surfaces interact strongly with the template during separation of the template from the solidified resist in a nano-imprint lithography process. The strong interaction between the surfactant and the template surface reduces the amount of surfactant pulled off the template surface during separation of a patterned layer from the template in an imprint lithography cycle. Maintaining more surfactant associated with the surface of the template after the separation of the patterned layer from the template may reduce the amount of surfactant needed in a liquid resist to achieve suitable release of the solidified resist from the template during an imprint lithography process. Strong association of the release agent with the surface of the template facilitates the formation of ultra-thin residual layers and dense fine features in nano-imprint lithography.

    摘要: A nano-imprint lithography stack includes a nano-imprint lithography substrate, a non-silicon-containing layer solidified from a first polymerizable, non-silicon-containing composition, and a silicon-containing layer solidified from a polymerizable silicon-containing composition adhered to a surface of the non-silicon-containing layer. The non-silicon-containing layer is adhered directly or through one or more intervening layers to the nano-imprint lithography substrate. The silicon-containing layer includes a silsesquioxane with a general formula (R′(4-2z)SiOz)x(HOSiO1.5)y, wherein R′ is a hydrocarbon group or two or more different hydrocarbon groups other than methyl, 1

    摘要: A solid layer is formed by applying a multiplicity of discrete portions of a fluid composition onto a surface of an imprint lithography substrate, and allowing the discrete portions of the composition to spontaneously spread on the surface of the substrate to form a substantially continuous layer. The composition includes a solvent and a solid or a solvent and a polymerizable material. The composition can be a solution or a dispersion. At least some of the solvent is evaporated from the composition, and a solid layer is formed (e.g., polymerized or dried) on the substrate. The solid layer is substantially free of interstitial voids.

    摘要: An imprint lithography template includes a porous material defining a multiplicity of pores with an average pore size of at least about 0.4 nm. The porous material includes silicon and oxygen, and a ratio of Young's modulus (E) to relative density of the porous material with respect to fused silica (ρporous/ρfused silica) is at least about 10:1. A refractive index of the porous material is between about 1.4 and 1.5. The porous material may form an intermediate layer or a cap layer of an imprint lithography template. The template may include a pore seal layer between a porous layer and a cap layer, or a pore seal layer on top of a cap layer.
