基于TiN涂层/玻璃基体的热压印模板的制备与性能

TiN coating/glass substrate system fabricated for hot-embossing stamp at sub-micron scale

  • 摘要: 对于热压印光刻而言,制备具有精确几何结构、良好耐磨损性能以及长使用寿命模板至关重要。在分析现有Si或SiO2模板使用性能基础上,提出了在TiN涂层/玻璃基体上制备热压印模板。首先采用直流磁过滤电弧在玻璃上沉积TiN薄膜,然后,通过聚焦离子束在薄膜上加工出最小线宽71nm的栅型结构,最后,使用所加工的模板,进行热压印实验,获得了良好的压印结果。实验结果表明,TiN作为模板材料可以获得高保真度的纳米图案,并且由于TiN比Si或SiO2具有更高硬度和强度,玻璃基体也具有很好的机械性能,由TiN/玻璃系统制备的压印模板的机械性能和使用寿命较之Si或SiO2基模板得到很大提高。

     

    Abstract: For the hot-embossing lithography,imprinting stamp with long-life span,good anti-wear property and precise geometrical shape,is much expected for pushing forward the technology to industrial application.By analyzing existing disadvantages of current Si and SiO2 imprinting stamps,this paper presents TiN coating/glass substrate system as the stamp material,in which the glass plates serves as substrate and the hard TiN coating is fabricated for the nano-patterns.For fabricating the stamp,first several microns TiN coatings are deposited on the glass by ion-beam deposition system.Then for TiN/glass system,focused ion beam etching system is used to fabricate a series of nano-patterns on the TiN coating.The primary hot-embossing imprinting results indicate good results for PMMA.Hereby it is believed that conventional hard coating TiN could be potentially a good choice for realizing the long-life imprinting and improving the life duration of the imprinting stamp greatly.
