Abstract

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has proven to be an exceptional lithographic technique for achieving arbitrary, nanoscale features, over large areas without the use of costly step-and-repeat UV lithography tools. One requirement for NIL is to eliminate adhesion of the imprinted polymer to the imprinter upon withdrawal of the imprinter. Previous work on thick (>100nm) diamondlike carbon (DLC) layers indicates that fluorinated DLC (F-DLC) provides a durable antiwear, antistick layer. In this work, a process for depositing an ultrathin layer of F-DLC is shown for SiO2 based imprinters.
