Nanoimprint Lithography

Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) is a novel technique for the fabrication of nanostructures on large surfaces. The method is based on the excellent replication fidelity obtained with polymers. Once a solid stamp with a nanorelief on the surface is fabricated it can be used for the replication of many identical surface patterns. It therefore circumvents many limitations of conventional photolithography. In PSI we use both thermal NIL into various thermoplastic materials and UV-assisted NIL, e.g. for the fabrication of stamp copies.

NIL Process Chain
NIL Process Chain
The process chain mainly consists of the three steps:
  1. Align substrate, resist and stamp
  2. Imprint into polymer film
  3. Pattern transfer into substrate


The pattern transfer is often necessary if the imprinted polymer is not directly used as a functional material, but for patterning a large area substrate such as a silicon wafer or magnetic disc. It is therefore able to replace common high resolution lithography which is either costly or not able to pattern complex structures with 3D surface topographies.
