Benefits

The applications of Nanoimprint technology are accelerating in various fields. NTT-AT provides the required Nanoimprint Molds for various stages in research, development, application, and commercialization.
 
The fields of application of Nanoimprint Molds are generally categorized into 3 areas: molds for optics, molds for semiconductors and molds for other applications.

Features

1.Mold For Optics

We fabricate the patterns for micro lenses, holograms, moth eyes, and diffraction gratings using the fine processing technology based on a semiconductor process.

Process examples

The uniformity of depth doesn't depend on pattern size.

 

3.Mold For others

The fine pattern formation technology of Nano Imprint is expected to be applied in various fields.
In addition to processes for various materials including quartz and silicon, fine dot patterns, high aspect ratio patterns, and deep etching pattern formation and processing are provided to satisfy customers' demands. Standard patterns (line width 40, 60, 80 and 100nm, with 100nm depth) are also available, to evaluate system and resin characteristics such as transfer printing accuracy and release properties.
