Large area micro pattern replication has promising application potential in many areas. Rolling imprint process has been demonstrated as one of the most competitive processes for such micro pattern replication, because it has advantages in low cost, high throughput and high efficiency. In this paper, we developed a prototype of roll-to-flat(R2F) thermal imprint system for large area micro pattern replication process, which is one of the key processes in the fabrication of flexible displays. Experimental tests were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of system and the parameters' effect on the process, such as flat mold temperature, loading pressure and rolling speed. 100mm $\times$ 100mm stainless steel flat mold and commercially available polycarbonate sheets were used for the tests. The experimental results showed that the developed R2F system is suitable for fabrication of various micro devices with micro pattern over large area.

In order to apply nano imprint technology in large area process, roller pressing is promising because of its low cost and high productivity. When pressing mold by roller, liquid resin is locally squeezed between mold and substrate. In this study, the main focus is to understand which process parameter affects residual layer. To do this, a simple analytical model was introduced. Especially, we consider the aspect ratio of patterns as essential cause of variation of the thickness in the equation. As a result, when the aspect ratio of pattern in the mold increases, the thickness of residual layer also increases. In conclusion, we show that the uniformity of residual layer could be accomplished by the control of velocity and pressing force in roller pressing imprint process.

Ni stamper위에 100nm의 Si 코팅후 자기조립 단분자막(SAM)을 액상 코팅방식으로 형성 하였고, 내구성 및 열적 안정성을 검증하기 위해 반복적인 이형 및 압력인가 test가 실시하였다. 20회 이상의 이형실험을 통해 열적, 기계적 안정성을 확인하고, 접촉각 측정을 통해 이형특성의 안정성도 고찰하였다. 이를 Imprint공법을 적용 fine pattern의 구조물을 얻을 수 있었다. SAM코팅은 TRICHLOROSILANE을 사용하였으며 Hexane과 1000:1의 비율로 섞어서 stirrer에서 mixing하는 방식을 사용했으며, UV-ozone처리를 통한 이형성 제거 효과도 관찰하였다.

Progress in the development of a fully roll-to-roll selfaligned imprint process for producing active matrix backplanes with submicron aligned features on flexible substrates is reported. High performance transistors, crossovers and addressable active matrix arrays have been designed and fabricated using imprint lithography. Such a process has the potential of significantly reducing the costs of large area displays. The progress, current status and remaining issues of this new fabrication technology are reported.

Deformation of a mold is measured and analyzed in alignment and curing processes of UV-Imprint Lithography. We are focused on mold deformation caused by a UV resin, which is laminated between a mold and a target glass-panel. The UV resin is viscous in case of liquid state, and the resin will be solidified when being exposed by the ultra-violet light. The viscosity of the resin causes shear force on the mold during the alignment process. Moreover, the shrinkage during phase change from liquid to solid may cause residual stress on the mold. The experiments for measuring temperature and strain are made during alignment and curing process. Strain-gages and thermocouples are used for measuring the strain and variation of temperature on several points of the mold, respectively. The deformation of mold is also simulated and analyzed. The simulation results are compared with the experiments. Finally, sources of alignment errors in large area UV-nanoimprint lithography are discussed.

We are working towards large-area arrays of thin film transistors on polymer substrates using roll-to-roll (R2R) processes exclusively. Self-aligned imprint lithography (SAIL) is an enabler to pattern and align submicron features on meter-scaled flexible substrates in the R2R environment. The progress, current status and remaining issues of this new fabrication technology are presented.
