Nanoimprint lithography(NIL) is becoming next generation lithography of significant interest due to its low cost and a potential patterning resolution of 10nm or less. Success of the NIL relies on the adequate conditions of pressure, temperature and time. To have the adequate conditions for NIL, one has to understand the polymer flowing behavior during the imprinting process. In this paper, an analytical approach of polymer flow in thermal NIL was performed based on the squeeze flow with partial slip boundary conditions. Velocity profiles and pressure distributions of the polymer flow were obtained and imprinting forces and residual thickness were predicted with the consideration of the slip velocity between the polymer and the mold/substrate. The results show that the consideration of the slip is very important for investigating the polymer flow in Thermal NIL.

Molecular dynamics simulations of nanoimprint lithography NIL) are performed in order to investigate effects of process parameters, such as stamp shape, imprinting temperature and adhesive energy, on nanoimprint lithography process and pattern transfer. The simulation model consists of an amorphous $SiO_{2}$ stamp with line pattern, an amorphous poly-(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) film and an Si substrate under periodic boundary condition in horizontal direction to represent a real NIL process imprinting long line patterns. The pattern transfer behavior and its related phenomena are investigated by analyzing polymer deformation characteristics, stress distribution and imprinting force. In addition, their dependency on the process parameters are also discussed by varying stamp pattern shapes, adhesive energy between stamp and polymer film, and imprinting temperature. Simulation results indicate that triangular pattern has advantages of low imprinting force, small elastic recovery after separation, and low pattern failure. Adhesive energy between surface is found to be critical to successful pattern transfer without pattern failure. Finally, high imprinting temperature above glass transition temperature reduces the imprinting force.

Roll-based, nanoimprint lithography (Roll-NIL) is one effective method to produce large-area nanopatterns continuously. Systems and processes for Roll-NIL have been developed and studied for more than 15 years. Since the shapes of the stamp and the substrate for Roll-NIL can be plates, films, and rolls, there exist many concepts to design and implement roll-NIL systems. Combinations and variations of contact-methods for variously shaped stamps and substrates are analyzed in this paper. The contact-area can be changed by using soft materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or silicone rubber. Ultraviolet (UV) sources appropriate for the roll-to-plate or roll-to-roll process are introduced. Finally, two roll-to-plate nanoimprint lithography systems are illustrated.

50 nm pitch의 magnetic dot pattern을 갖는 hard disk drive용 patterned media를 nanoimprint lithography(NIL) patterning과 electroplating 공정을 이용하여 제작하고 자기 및 결정구조 특성을 관찰하였다. Patterned media는 Si(100) wafer 위에 Ru(20nm)/Ta(5 nm)/$SiO_2$(100 nm)를 순차적으로 증착한 후 nanoimprint lithography를 이용하여 25 nm half pitch의 hole pattern을 형성하고 그 후 패터닝된 기판을 plasma ashing 공정을 이용하여 기판의 Ru층을 노출시킨뒤 electroplating을 이용하여 Co-Pt 합금막을 증착하여 제작하였다. Magnetic force microscopy(MFM) 분석을 이용하여 제작된 각각의 magnetic dot pattern이 single domain 특성과 수직자기이방성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였고, superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) 분석을 통하여 2900 Oe이상의 높은 수직방향 보자력을 확인하였다.
