Nanostructuring
AMO offers a highly flexible process-platform for the fabrication of nanostructures. We have a broad range of lithography techniques that can be flexibly combined with each other – including interference lithography. Each lithography technique is tailored to a specific pattern-transfer process and can be used on a wide range of substrates. In addition, we have developed an advanced nanoimprint lithography process that can transfer e-beam-defined patterns to large areas in a cost-effective manner.

High Performance UV Nanoimprint Resist
AMONIL®
-
UV Nanoimprint is a mechanical molding technique. A template made from quartz or a flexible elastomer with a 3D relief is brought into intimate contact with a UV-curable resist spin-coated on top of a substrate. Applying low imprint pressure at room temperature features are filled within seconds due to the low viscosity of the imprint resist. The resist is hardened via UV-light through the backside of the template. Finally substrate and template are separated. The replicated resist relief can further be transferred into the substrate via RIE-process or used as functional element.

Interference Lithography Gratings
-
Interference lithography is an optical nanolithography technology for the fabrication of extensive periodic nanostructures. Critical dimensions of less than 50 nm can be realized. At AMO two interference lithography tools are installed. One setup for extensive, high quality gratings with fixed periods, the other more flexible tool allows quick prototyping. We offer grating fabrication on silicon, silicon dioxide and other substrates with tailored pitch, etch depth and size.
