Desktop Type Equipment of Thermal-assisted UV Roller Imprinting

Abstract

Desktop type equipment of thermal-assisted UV roller imprinting was developed. A remarkable advantage of the desktop type equipment is expected to be easy evaluation of replication results using different molds with small amounts of resin. Replication tests were carried out under various scanning speed of the stage, UV intensity, and roll temperature. Pattern replication was improved by heating roll under the same scanning speed of stage. Heating of the roll was effective to realize better pattern replication under the same scanning speed of the stage.
