Compared to other nano-patterning techniques, Nano imprint Lithography (NIL) has some advantages of high throughput and low process cost. To imprint low temperature and pressure, UV Nano imprint Lithography, which using the monomer based UV curable resin is suggested. Because fabrication of high fidelity pattern on topographical substrate is difficult, bi-layer Nano imprint lithography, which are consist of easily removable under-layer and imprinted pattern, is being used. If residual layer is not remained after imprinting, and under-layer is removed by oxygen RIE etching, we might be able to fabricate the bi-layer pattern for easy lift-off process.

Nano imprint Lithography (NIL) is regarded as one of the next-generation lithography technologies with EUV lithography, immersion lithography, Laser interference lithography. Because a Si wafer stamp and a quartz stamp, used to imprinting usually are very expensive and easily broken, it is suggested that master stamp is duplicated by PDMS and the PDMS stamp uses to imprint .For using the PDMS stamp, a thermally curable monomer resin was used for the imprinting process to lower pressure and temperature. As a result, NIL patterns were successfully fabricated.

Imprint lithography is a promising method for high-resolution and high-throughput lithography using low-cost equipment. As with other nanoimprint methods, ultraviolet-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) resolution appears to be limited only by template resolution, and offers a significant cost of ownership reduction when compared to other next generation lithography (NGL) methods such as EUVL and 157 nm lithography. The purpose of this paper is to suggest optimum values of control parameters of Imprio 100 manufactured by Molecular Imprint, Inc., which is the first commercially available UV-NIL tool, for sound nanoimprint. UV-NIL experiments were performed on Imprio 100 to find dispensing recipe for avoiding air entrapment. Dispensing recipe related to residual layer thickness and uniformity was optimized and 40 nm thick residual layer was achieved.

Classical lithography in semiconductor employs stepper technologies. Limits of this technology are clearly seen at structures below 100nm. Nano-imprinting lithography is a new method for generating patterns in submicron range at reasonable cost. In order to manufacture nano-imprinting lithography(NIL) equipment, several NIL manufacturers have been developing key technologies for realization of nano-imprinting process, recently. In this paper, we've been describe state-of-the-art and technology trends for nano-imprinting lithography equipments.

나노임프린트 리소그래피(Nanoimprint lithography, NIL) 공정은 패턴 형성을 위한 공정 단순성, 우수한 패턴 형성, 공정의 확장성, 높은 생산성 및 저렴한 공정 비용이라는 이유들로 인해 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 NIL 기술들을 통해 금속 소재 상 구현할 수 있는 패턴의 크기는 일반적으로 마이크로 수준으로 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는, 다양한 두께의 금속 기판 표면에 마이크로/나노 스케일 패턴을 직접적으로 형성하기 위한 극압 임프린트 리소그래피(extremepressure imprint lithography, EPIL) 방법을 소개하고자 한다. EPIL 공정은 자외선, 레이저, 임프린트 레지스트 또는 전기적 펄스 등의 외부 요인을 사용하지 않고 고분자, 금속, 세라믹과 같은 다양한 재료의 표면에 신뢰성 있는 나노 수준의 패터닝을 가능하게 한다. 레이저 미세가공 및 포토리소그래피로 제작된 마이크로/나노 몰드는 상온에서 높은 하중 혹은 압력을 가해 정밀한 소성변형 기반 Al 기판의 나노 패터닝에 활용된다. 20 ㎛ 부터 100 ㎛까지 다양한 두께를 갖는 Al 기판 상 마이크로/나노 스케일의 패턴 형성을 보여주고자 한다. 또한, 다목적 EPIL 기술을 통해 금속 재료 표면에서 그 형상을 제어하는 방법 역시 실험적으로 증명된다. 임프린트 리소그래피 기반 본 접근법은 복잡한 형상이 포함된 금속 재료의 표면을 요구하는 다양한 소자 응용을 위한 나노 제조 방법에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Nano imprint lithography(NIL) is a cost-efficient, high-throughput processing technique to transfer nano-scale patterns onto thin polymer films. Polymers used as the resist include UV cured resins as well as thermoplastics such as polymethyl-methacrylate(PMMA). In this study, an analytic investigation was performed for the NIL process of transferring nano scale patterns onto polymeric films. Process optimization calls for a thorough understanding of resist flow during the process. We carried out 2D and 3D numerical analyses of resist flow during NIL process. The simulation incorporated continuum-hypothesis and the effects of surface tension were taken into account. For a more effective prediction of free surface, fixed grid scheme with the volume of fluid (VOF) method were used. The simulation results were verified with experimental results qualitatively. And the parametric study was performed for various process conditions.

Nano Imprint Lithography(NIL) is technique for copying a pattern from stamp with nano size pattern in order to replicated the materials. It is very important to demold in order to make NIL process effectively. Self Assembled Monolayers(SAM) coater is manufactured by means of decreasing surface energy with the stamp surface treatment to improve release characteristics. Manufactured device contains tilting and rotation option for increasing process life time by coating on the sidewall of the pattern in stamp. The stamp coated with optimized tilting angle $30^{\circ}$ and rotation speed of 10rpm has more imprinting cycles than the stamping coated without tilting and rotation. Effective SAM coating on the sidewall of the pattern in stamp will improve by 50% of process life time.
