纳米压印工艺中的压印胶在固化后会发生聚合物的铰链,生成高分子聚合物,很难被一般有机溶剂清除,从而影响器件的性能。为有效去除压印残胶,提出一种利用多层掩模去除残胶的方法。 该方法首先在基片和压印胶之间沉积一层50 nm的二氧化硅作为硬掩模;接着用纳米压印工艺将光栅图形转移到压印胶上,再用干法刻蚀将光栅图形转移到基片上;最后,放入BOE (buffered oxide etchant)中漂洗数秒以去除残胶。文中总结了刻蚀底胶时间对光栅占空比的影响,对比了经过多层掩模去残胶和传统去残胶的方法处理后的光栅形貌。电镜图片结果显示,采用本文方法经过漂洗的光栅表面残胶去除干净,形貌良好,其周期约为240 nm,深度约为82 nm。实验表明,多层掩模去残胶的方法不仅能够有效地去除刻蚀残胶,同时能够避免光栅形貌的损坏。
When UV-Nanoimprint Lithography(NIL) is used in manufacturing gratings of Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes(DFB LDs)
the resist often turns into a high polymer after curing and can not be eliminated completely. To eliminate the residual resist
a multi-mask layer process was demonstrated. In this process
a 50 nm SiO2 hard mask was deposited between the wafer and the UV-curable resist and then traditional nanoimprint lithography based on soft stamp UV-imprinting was executed. Following that
the Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) dry etching was used to transfer the pattern on the substrate. Finally
it was rinsed with Buffered Oxide Etchant(BOE)for a few seconds .The effect of etching time on the duty ratio of grating was explored and the grating morphologies processed by traditional method and proposed method were compared. A scanning electron microscope image of rinsed grating shows that the grating with about 240 nm pitch and 82 nm depth offers a clean surface and a good feature. Therefore. The proposed method not only can eliminate the residual resist effectively but also can avoid the morphologic damage.
