Abstract:
Asymmetric resist profile induced by spin coating and polymerization of resist with anomalous profile in exposure process are main problems in imprint lithography alignment. A novel technique based on the principle of imprint lithography process is proposed to solve these problems, where the thickness and morphology of resist film are optimized with restrained force. The redistributed resist has a symmetric profile and the effect of reflection from the top resist surface is greatly weakened by controlling the thickness of film. A basic forcing process is developed to obtain symmetric resist structure and maximum signal contrast using the film with the thickness of 1.1 μm. The results show that symmetric resist profile can be achieved as the pressure is larger than 0.48 MPa and maximum signal contrast occurs as the pressure is 1.12 MPa. The alignment error caused by asymmetric resist profile or polymerized resist film on the marks can be reduced obviously to meet the requirements of imprint lithography within 100 nm.
