Abstract
We propose a new scheme of fabricating molds for UV-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) that is both high resolution and has a high aspect ratio. The scheme involves the utilization of a hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) electron beam resist for high resolution patterning and the sputter-deposited α-Si layer that defines the high-aspect-ratio mold pattern obtained from the high etch selectivity between the HSQ and the α-Si. We obtained high resolution line patterns and dot patterns with feature sizes of 40nm and 25nm, respectively. The aspect ratio of the patterns was about 3.5 for line patterns and about 5 for dot patterns. These molds also demonstrate successful UV-nanoimprint patterning.
