Abstract:

Progress in nanosciences and nanotechnology requires nano manufacturing technologies and materials which enable some kind of hybrid functionality. Physical nano structuring has demonstrated added value surfaces which could be used in numerous modern applications and products. In this talk we discuss how to utilize advanced nanoimprint based manufacturing process to mass replicate nano metric scale structures. We debate the use of step and repeat imprinting methods in order to upscale our structures combining top down and bottom up approaches. We present methodologies of how we could utilize functional materials with topographical patterned surfaces and create sub 50 nm three dimensional patterned structures. Moreover we demonstrate the use of ultraviolet light assisted roll to roll imprint lithography to produce devices on a meter to meters basic on flexible foils opening the path towards high volume production of functional surfaces.
