Imprint of sub-25 nm vias and trenches in polymers
TL;DR: In this article, a nanoimprint process that presses a mold into a thin thermoplastic polymer film on a substrate to create vias and trenches with a minimum size of 25 nm and a depth of 100 nm has been demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imprint Lithography with 25-Nanometer Resolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-throughput lithographic method with 25-nanometer resolution and smooth vertical sidewalls is proposed and demonstrated, which uses compression molding to create a thickness contrast pattern in a thin resist film carried on a substrate, followed by anisotropic etching to transfer the pattern through the entire resist thickness.

Patterning Self-Assembled Monolayers: Applications in Materials Science
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for patterning the formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using an elastomeric stamp was described, which can routinely produce patterns with dimensions from 1 to 100 lrm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer microstructures formed by moulding in capillaries
TL;DR: In this article, a low-viscosity polymer precursor is placed in contact with the network of channels formed when a substrate and a patterned elastomeric master are placed in intimate contact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Optical Surfaces Formed by Replica Molding Against Elastomeric Masters
TL;DR: The versatility of this procedure for fabricating surfaces with complex, micrometer- and submicrometers-scale patterns was demonstrated by the production of diffraction gratings with periods smaller than the original grating.
