Imprinting Resolution

The resolution of imprinted features appears to be limited to the resolution of features written on the imprint template. Figure 1 shows cross-section SEMs of 50nm, 40 nm, and 30 nm line/space arrays demonstrating square feature profile.

Figure 1. Cross-section SEMs of imprinted features of linewidths a) 50 nm, b) 40 nm, and c) 30 nm, also demonstrating square feature profiles. From Resnick (2002).

A separate imprint experiment yielded features as small as 20 nm, as shown in Figure 2.
