Nanoimprint Foundry Services
AMO offers its long-term experience in nanoimprint technology. We are developing processes and applications using soft-UV nanoimprint.
Soft UV NIL |
| Imprint resolution limit down to 20 nm |
Masters and Templates
We offer standard and customized template fabrication. Based on our high resolution E-beam technology we are able to realise templates with dimensions down to 30 nm. We offer solutions for several imprint tools. For S&R UV nanoimprint we provide quartz glass templates. For soft UV nanoimprint and micro contact printing we offer silicon master fabrication and PDMS replication up to 6".

Imprint Resist: AMONIL®
AMONIL® is the result of our long-standing experience in UV nanoimprint. It is designed for spin-coating imprint processes using quartz or PDMS templates. We offer the resist material in different thicknesses in 50, 100 and 500 ml bottles.
The most important part of nanostructure replication using nanoimprint is the adhesion asymmetry. The adhesion between substrate and resist layer has to be larger than the adhesion between resist layer and mold. Otherwise resist rupture, mold contamination and certainly structure loss are to be expected.
For best performance it is therefore appropriate to either use low surface energy molds (e.g. PDMS) or quartz molds with anti adhesion coating.
Additionally, the resist adhesion to the substrate can be optimized by adapted primers (pretreatment for adhesion enhancement). Furthermore, the mold adhesion can be reduced by means of fluor groups within the resist itself. The resist AMONIL®, available at AMO, can be ordered in combination with an adequate primer (AMOPRIME) for the pretreatment of the substrates. In addition, AMONIL® also contains a fluorpolymere additive which reduces the mold adhesion further.
