High resolution PFPE-based molding High resolution PFPE-based molding High resolution PFPE-based molding techniques for nanofabrication of high pattern density sub-20 nm features: A fundamental materials approach

Journal Article Williams, Stuart S ; Samulski, Edward ; Lopez, Renee ; ... - Nano Letters

ABSTRACT. Described herein is the development and investigation of PFPE-based elastomers for high resolution replica molding applications. The modulus of the elastomeric materials was increased through synthetic and additive approaches while maintaining relatively low surface energies (<25 mN/m). Using practically relevant large area master templates, we show that the resolution of the molds is strongly dependant upon the elastomeric mold modulus. A composite mold approach was used to form flexible molds out of stiff, high modulus materials that allow for replication of sub-20 nm post structures. Sub-100 nm line grating master templates, formed using e-beam lithography, were used to determinemore »« less

High-Resolution PFPE-based Molding Techniques for Nanofabrication of High-Pattern Density, Sub-20 nm Features: A Fundamental Materials Approach

Journal Article Williams, Stuart S. ; Retterer, Scott ; Lopez, Rene ; ... - Nano Letters

Several perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-based elastomers for high-resolution replica molding applications are explored. The modulus of the elastomeric materials was increased through synthetic and additive approaches while maintaining relatively low surface tension values (<25 mN/m). Using large area (>4 in.{sup 2}) master templates, we experimentally show the relationship between mold resolution and material properties such as modulus and surface tension for materials used in this study. A composite mold approach was used to form flexible molds out of stiff, high modulus materials that allow for replication of sub-20 nm post structures. Sub-100 nm line grating master templates, formed using e-beam lithography, weremore »« less

Efficient Fresnel zoneplate pattern data preparation for high-resolution nanofabrication

Journal Article Wang, Yow -Gwo ; Miyakawa, Ryan H. ; Chao, Weilun ; ... - Optics Communications

A Fresnel zoneplate is a diffractive optical element consisting of concentric rings (zones) for which the transmitted light produces a focal spot that is used in all wavelength regimes, including X-rays. The pattern of transmission openings determines the location of the spot and the sub-half wavelength size of the openings can adjust the intensity. Today, very general transmission zoneplate patterns are used for many special imaging and image compensation purposes. Manufacturing zoneplates require a zoneplate pattern file, which precisely describes the size, shape, and contour of the rings based on the desired optical properties of the lens.

Direct determination of the absolute electron density of nanostructured and disordered materials at sub-10 nm resolution

Journal Article Miao, Jianwei ; Amonette, James E. ; Nishino, Yoshinori ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 68(012201):1-3

Porous materials have found great use as catalysts and sorption media due to their large internal surface areas. The recent developments in synthesis methods for producing ordered porous materials have greatly broadened their applications, ranging from molecular sieves to microelectronics. To date, the internal structures of these materials have been inferred from either adsorption-isotherm measurements, X-ray diffraction, or electron microscopy where a model was first assumed. For thin materials (< 50 nm), a direct 3D imaging method using electron crystallography has recently been developed, but provides only relative electrostatic potential maps in most applications. Here we report a new approachmore »« less
