Patent number: 8465655Abstract: A fabrication method for forming polymer nanopillars using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane and an imprint process. A substrate is cleaned and a water soluble tape is applied to the substrate to define a coating area. The substrate is spin-coated with a polymer solution and an AAO membrane is placed on top of the coated area on the substrate and turned over whereby a silicon wafer is attached onto the AAO membrane forming an AAO membrane assembly, which is pressed in an imprintor. Then, the AAO membrane assembly is removed from the imprintor, it is disassembled, and the AAO membrane is dissolved in a NaOH solution forming a polymer substrate with nanopillars.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: University of MassachusettsInventors: Hongwei Sun, Sai Liu
