Abstract

We propose fast nanoimprinting lithography (NIL) process based on the use of stamps with integrated heater. The latter consists of heavily ion implantation n-type doped silicon layer buried below the microstructured surface of the stamp. The stamp is heated by Joule effect, by 50 μs 25 Hz repetition rate current pulses flowing in the conductive layer. Using this approach we have reproducibly imprinted areas of 2 cm2 within 16 s with residual layers in the range of few tens of nm. This result paves the way for processes in the sub-1 s timescale over large area surfaces.
