Abstract

UV curing nanoimprint is demonstrated for high aspect ratio gratings fabrication based on SU-8 for nanophotonics and biochemical applications. The defects, which are caused by stress and friction between mold and resist and air bubbles are key issues. To eliminate the defects, the process parameters, such as imprinting pressure, baking time and demolding temperature, are optimized. SU-8 grating with 150nm in width and 1.5µm is presented with good uniformity in large area using Si template fabricated by non-switching DRIE process. The process could find broader applications in the manufacture of biochemical devices and nanophotonic structures.
