Ultraviolet-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) is a promising nanoimprint method for cost-effectively defining nanometer scale structures at room temperature and low pressure. Nanostamp fabrication technology is a key technology for UV-NIL because fabricating a high resolution nanostamp is the first step for defining high resolution nanostructures in a substrate. We used quartz as an UV transparent stamp material for the UVNIL. A $5{\times}5{\times}0.09$ inch stamp was fabricated using the quartz etch process in which Cr film was used as a hard mask for transferring nanostructures into the quartz. In this paper, we describe the quartz etching process and discuss the results including SEM images.

Ultraviolet-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) is a promising method for cost-effectively defining nanoscale structures at room temperature and low pressure. Since the resolution of transferred nanostructures depends strongly upon that of nanostamps, the nanostamp fabrication technology is a key technology to UV-NIL. In this paper, a $5\times5\times0.09$ in. quartz stamp whose critical dimension is 377 nm was fabricated using the etching process in which a Cr film was employed as a hard mask for transferring nanostructures onto the quartz plate. To effectively apply the fabricated 5-in. stamp to UV-NIL on a 4-in. Si wafer, we have proposed a new UV-NIL process using a multi-dispensing method as a way to supply resist on a wafer. Experiments have shown that the multi-dispensing method can enable UV-NIL using a large-area stamp.

In the UV-NIL process using an elementwise patterned stamp (EPS), which includes channels formed to separate each element with patterns, low-viscosity resin droplets with a nano-liter volume are dispensed on all elements of the EPS. Following pressing of the EPS, the EPS is illuminated with UV light to cure the resin; and then the EPS is separated from several thin patterned elements on a wafer. Experiments on UV-NIL were performed on an EVG620-NIL. 50 － 70 nm features of the EPS were successfully transferred to 4 in. wafers. Especially, the wafer deformation during imprint was analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) in order to study the effect of the wafer deformation on the UV-NIL using EPS.
