제목 Soft-imprint technique for the fabricationd of miro/nano-patterns.
초록 Here we present a UV-based ‘soft-imprint’ lithography process that makes possible the direct patterning of polymers with features in the submicron range. The proposed technique uses an elastomeric PDMS mold and does not involve temperature cycling or high pressure during processing. In this technique, a PDMS mold with submicron scale relief is placed on a low viscosity monomer, which is then polymerized by exposure to UV light at room temperature. The use of PDMS as the mold material ensures the clean release of the mold from the patterned polymer; thus the release process does not produce defects or distortion in the patterned polymer, as has been found in NIL and SFIL. In the proposed method, the swelling problem of PDMS for organic solvent is overcome through two methods; one is the pre-polymerization before the PDMS mold is put on, and the other is the surface modified PDMS mold by Teflon AF coating. The proposed method is also applied to fabricate the multilevel microstructures with one-step process.
