NIL, S-FIL과 같은 각인 기술(Imprinting lithography)를 적용하기 위한 투명하고 단단한 복제 틀(replica hard mold)을 제작하여 고가의 원판(master)와 패턴이 형성되는 기판과의 접촉을 근본적으로 방지해 경제적인 공정이 가능함을 제안한다. 실리콘 웨이퍼(Si wafer)와 같은 원판(master)과 패턴 형성 시 사용되는 기판과 직접적인 접촉을 방지하기 위해 우선 액상 공정을 이용하여 비접착성 표면처리된 고분자 복제(polymer copy)를 매개체(carrier)로 단단한 복제 틀을 제작한다. 이렇게 제작된 단단한 복제 틀(replica hard mold)는 유리와 거의 같은 강도와 투명도를 나타내며, 각인 공정(imprinting process)에서 석영 틀, 실리콘 웨이퍼(quartz mold, Si wafer)과 같이 값비싼 원판(master)의 직접 사용을 대체하여 성공적으로 패턴을 구현할 수 있다.

For the past several decades, various next-generation patterning methods have been developed to obtain well-designed nano-to-micro structures, such as imprint lithography, nanotransfer printing (nTP), directed self-assembly (DSA), E-beam lithography, and so on. Especially, nTP process has much attention due to its low processing cost, short processing time, and good compatibility with other patterning techniques in achieving the formation of high-resolution functional patterns. To transfer functional patterns onto desirable substrates, the use of soft materials is required for precise replication of master mold. Here, we introduce a simple and practical nTP method to create highly ordered structures using various polymeric replica materials. We found that polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinylpyridine (PVP) are possible candidates for replica materials for reliable duplication of Si master mold based on systematic analysis of pattern visualization. Furthermore, we successfully obtained well-defined metal and oxide nanostructures with functionality on target substrates by using replica patterns, through deposition and transfer process. We expect that the several candidates of replica materials can be exploited for effective nanofabrication of complex electronic devices.

본 연구는 나노 복화공정을 이용하여 마이크로 혹은 나노공정에 응용이 가능한 형상모형 제작공정 개발과 폴리디메틸실록산 (polydimethylsiloxane)를 이용하여 만들어진 형상모형의 몰드로 나노급 정밀도의 폴리디메틸실록산 형상을 복제하는 공정에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 나노 복화공정은 복잡한 형상모형 (pattern)이나 2차원 형상을 CAD 파일 없이 비트맵 그림파일을 이용하여 직접적으로 200nm 정밀도를 가지는 형상으로 만들 수 있다. 형상모형은 펨토초 레이저를 이용하여 이광자 흡수 중합법으로 제작하기 때문에 형상의 정밀도는 레이저 범의 회절한계 이하로 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 제작된 마스터 형상모형은 본 연구에서 제안한 진공압력차이법으로 폴리디메틸실록산 몰드를 제작하여 기존의 제작방법에 비하여 정밀한 제작이 가능함을 보였으며 또한 제작된 몰드를 이용하여 양각의 플리디메틸실록산 스탬프를 제작하였다.

The replica of highly ordered nano-sphere array patterns were fabricated using hot embossing method. The polymer replica was coated with silcon dioxide layer and self-assembled monolayer. Using UV nanoimprint lithography with the template, highly ordered nano-sphere array patterns were clearly fabricated on curved substrate.

Foam type porous silicon carbide ceramics were fabricated by a polymer replica method using polyurethane foam, carbon black, phenol resin, and silicon powder as raw materials. The influence of the C/Si mole ratio of the ceramic slurry and heat treatment temperature on the porous silicon carbide microstructure was investigated. To characterize the microstructure of porous silicon carbide ceramics, BET, bulk density, X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analyses were employed. The results revealed that the surface area of the porous silicon carbide ceramics decreases with increased heat treatment temperature and carbon content at the $2^{nd}$ heat treatment stage. The addition of carbon to the ceramic slurry, which was composed of phenol resin and silicon powder, enhanced the direct carbonization reaction of silicon. This is ascribed to a consequent decrease of the wetting angles of carbon to silicon with increasing heat treatment temperature.

Photonic crystals containing rugate structure result in a mirror with high reflectivity in a specific narrow spectral region and are prepared by applying a computer-generated pseudo-sinusoidal current waveform. Well defined 1-dimentional photonic polymer replicas showing a reflectivity at 534 nm have been successfully obtained by the removal of rugate porous silicon (PSi) template from the polystyrene composite film. XRD measurement indicates that the oxidized rugate PSi has been completely removed from the composite films. Polymer replicas exhibit a sharp resonance in the reflectivity spectrum. Optical characteristics of photonic polymer replicas indicate that the surface of polymer film has a negative structure of rugate PSi. These replicas are stable in aqueous solutions for several days without any degradation. The methods have been provided for the construction of photonic structures with polymers.

Characteristics of the swelling-induced wrinkles on the surfaces of natural rubber (NR) film were investigated. The wrinkle structure was generated by swelling of NR film pre-stretched and firmly bonded onto an aluminum substrate in hexane. A novel experimental method was adopted to replicate the swelling-induced wrinkles on the NR film using an epoxy-hardener system. To get insight into the wrinkle parameters; the wrinkle length (L), wrinkle distance (D), wrinkle height (H) and the angle between two consecutive wrinkles (${\theta}$), the cross-sections of the replicas obtained from saturated swollen NR film were examined using an optical microscopy (OM). From the OM images, the wrinkling parameters were measured as a function of the thickness of NR film from 0.42 to 1.76 mm. Also, it was evaluated that the effects of swelling time on the wrinkling parameters. The length (L), distance (D) and height (H) of wrinkles increased as the thickness of the NR film and the swelling time increased. However, the angle between the wrinkles (${\theta}$) showed a sharp decrease up to a swelling time of 200 minutes and slightly decreased afterwards.
