Abstract

The demand for large area and low cost nanopatterning techniques for optical coatings and photonic devices has increased at a tremendous rate. At present, it is clear that currently available nanopatterning technologies are unable to meet the required performance, fabrication-speed, or cost criteria for many applications requiring large area and low cost nanopatterning. Rolith Inc proposes to use a new nanolithography method - "Rolling mask" lithography - that combines the best features of photolithography, soft lithography and roll-to-plate printing technologies. We will report on the first results achieved on a recently built prototype tool and cylindrical mask, which was designed to pattern 300 mm wide substrate areas.
