Abstract

The roll to roll (RTR) imprint process is an integrated imprinting process where steps ranging from assignment of a function to a flexible rolled substrate to rewinding of the same substrate in a roll are performed. RTR imprint is a green, low-cost technology without limitations. In RTR imprint, it is important to manufacture the mold precisely and maintain uniform process condition. To this, process conditions have to include precision tension control, optimization of process parameters. We introduced RTR imprint to fabricate planar lightwave circuit (PLC) device for communication, by new schematic design and process optimization, we fabricated successfully optical device. The fabricated optical device showed the optical performance which was satisfied to meet international standard.
