Nanoimprint lithography transfers nanoscale patterns onto a resist-coated wafer through direct contact between a mold and the nanoimprint resist. After the resist is cured by ultraviolet light or thermal treatment, the mold is separated to complete pattern transfer. This nanoimprint lithography system employs a high-precision roller imprinting mechanism to achieve conformal contact between the master wafer and the working stamp, or between the working stamp and the substrate wafer during the rolling process. It is specifically designed for UV nanoimprint lithography, enabling high-precision nanostructure replication with fully automated working stamp fabrication, nanoimprinting, and demolding.

  • The master mold must be treated with an anti-adhesion coating before imprinting.
  • The substrate must undergo O₂ plasma treatment prior to nanoimprinting; otherwise, resist delamination may occur.
  • The substrate must be thoroughly cleaned before imprinting to ensure a particle-free surface. Any particle contamination may result in pattern defects.
