  • Patent number: 7063939
    Abstract: The present invention relates a method for high aspect ratio pattern transfer, by using combination of imprint and Step and Flash techniques to transfer high aspect ratio pattern. The present invention simultaneously saves the developing time and the amount of developer used during the photo-resist pattern transfer process. The present invention is able to avoid separation and dissolution between pattern and substrate that is attacked by developer, and is able to yield high aspect ratio patterns.

  • Publication number: 20060045988
    Abstract: A pretreatment process of a substrate in a micro/nano imprinting technology is disclosed, comprising deposing the substrate on a holder and performing a plasma treatment or an ion treatment on the substrate. In the plasma treatment of the substrate, a reactive gas is first injected into the chamber to form a plasma, such that the plasma causes a physical reaction and a chemical reaction on the substrate to activate the substrate surface and also remove particles and contaminants adhering to the substrate surface. When the ion treatment is performed on the substrate, an ion source is placed into the chamber and ions and neutral atoms generated by the ion source bombard the substrate, causing a physical reaction and a chemical reaction on the substrate to activate the substrate surface and also remove particles and contaminants adhering to the substrate surface.

  • Patent number: 6730364
    Abstract: A method for preparing carbon molecular sieve membrane is invented. A thin carbon-containing film is first deposited on a porous substrate. The thin film is then bombarded by high energy ions for surface modification. The surface modified film is then baked or calcined at a high temperature. The carbon molecular sieve membrane prepared according to the present invention can be used for gas separation as well as liquid separation, ions or solvents, etc., exhibiting improved permeance and improved selectivity simultaneously in gas separation. The ion bombardment includes generating plasma and ions in a gas phase, and applying a negative bias voltage to the substrate.
