The invention discloses an embossing device and an embossing method. The imprint apparatus of the present invention includes: a surface modification unit that performs plasma treatment on the surface of the mold on which the pattern is formed; a bonding section that bonds the die and the substrate so that the pattern of the die subjected to the plasma treatment can be pressed against the substrate; and a separating part which separates the bonded mold and the substrate.
Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an imprint apparatus and method for transferring a pattern by pressing a resin applied to a surface of a substrate with a mold.
Background
Nanoimprint lithography is a technology that is economical and can effectively produce nano-structures (nano-structures), and is a technology that spin-coats (spin-coating) or spot-coats (dispensing) resin on a substrate (superstrate), and transfers (transfer) a pattern by pressing a mold having the pattern formed thereon onto the surface of the resin.
Nanoimprint lithography can be broadly classified into thermal-type (hot-type) and ultraviolet irradiation.
The heating process is called Thermal transfer (Hot Embossing) or Thermal Imprint Lithography (Thermal Imprint Lithography), and is a method of bringing a mold into contact with a substrate on which a polymer layer is formed, heating the mold to impart fluidity to the polymer layer, and applying pressure to the polymer layer to form a desired pattern on the polymer layer. Such a heating process has a problem that it is difficult to perform multi-layer alignment due to thermal deformation, and a problem that a pattern is fragile because a high pressure is required to imprint a resin having a large viscosity.
The nanoimprint lithography process of the ultraviolet irradiation method developed to solve the problem of the heating process is a method using a low-viscosity photocurable resin and ultraviolet rays for curing the resin, and is suitable for multilayering and mass production because the process can be performed at a normal temperature and a low pressure.
In a conventional ultraviolet irradiation type nanoimprint lithography process, after an ultraviolet curing resin is coated on a substrate, a mold is pressed, and the curing resin fills in between patterns of the mold. At this time, since the viscosity is low, the resin can easily fill in between the patterns of the mold even under a low pressure. After that, when the resin is exposed to light by the UV light source through the transparent mold, the resin is cured. Then, if the mold is removed, a residual layer remains between the patterns, and the residual layer is removed by oxygen ashing to complete the process.
In the conventional ultraviolet irradiation method, a self-assembled monolayer is applied to the surface of a mold to improve the mold release property, but the coating treatment time is long, and the productivity of the product is deteriorated.
Further, in the case of performing an additional coating process on the mold, there are disadvantages in that price competitiveness is reduced, and an additionally formed coating layer may be stained when the substrate is separated from the mold, making it difficult to reuse the mold.
Further, since the reusability of the mold is reduced and it is necessary to transfer the mold only in one direction, productivity is reduced, and a resin coating process or the like is performed in another place or equipment, which makes it impossible to perform a continuous process, and thus, there are problems in that a large amount of work space is required and a large amount of work time is required.
The matters described as background above are only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and are not to be construed as belonging to the prior art known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

Detailed Description
The objects, certain advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and examples when considered in conjunction with the drawings. Note that, in the present specification, when reference numerals are given to components in each drawing, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible in other drawings. The terms first, second, etc. may be used to describe various components, but these components should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one constituent element from another constituent element. In describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of the related known art may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As illustrated in fig. 1 to 6, the imprint apparatus of the present invention includes a surface modification section 20, a bonding section 10, a separation section 30, and a transfer section 40.
The imprint apparatus and method of the present invention are a technique of modifying the surface of a mold M to improve the releasability between the mold M and a substrate B, and transferring the mold M to and fro so as to reuse the mold M.
The mold M is functionally classified into a Master mold (Master mold) and a replica mold (replica mold), and may be classified into various types according to materials, such as a Si mold, a Ni mold, a Resin mold, and the like.
In the present invention, the mold M may be formed on the PET film, and the mold M may be formed with various patterns or may be made of various materials according to the designer's intention.
The transfer unit 40 functions to transfer the mold M in the forward direction or the reverse direction. In the case where the mold M is formed on the PET film, the transfer unit 40 may be configured to include a pair of rollers R1 and R2, and when the pair of rollers R1 and R2 are rotated from the left to the right (hereinafter, referred to as "forward direction") or from the right to the left (hereinafter, referred to as "reverse direction") in a state where both ends of the PET film are fixed to the pair of rollers R1 and R2, the mold M formed on the PET film is also moved in the forward direction or the reverse direction, that is, the mold M can be transferred back and forth.
At this time, the transfer unit 40 may transfer the mold M separated at the separation unit 30 to the surface modification unit 20 so that the mold M can be reused by performing the plasma treatment.
The transfer unit 40 may be replaced with various mechanisms such as a conveyor belt and a robot arm.
The surface modification unit 20 modifies the surface of the mold M having the pattern formed thereon to improve the mold-release property of the mold M, and functions to perform a plasma treatment on the surface of the mold M under atmospheric pressure, and preferably includes Air (Air), argon (Ar), and oxygen (O)2) Nitrogen (N)2) RF (Radio Frequency) is applied to the gas of any one of the above to form plasma, and the surface of the mold M is modified.
When the plasma treatment is performed, the mold M is melted or bent when the temperature exceeds 80 ℃, and therefore, the plasma treatment is preferably performed at a low temperature of 80 ℃ or lower.
In order to improve the modification effect of the surface of the mold M, it is preferable to apply a plasma matching box (Matcher) between an RF antenna for atmospheric plasma and an RF power supply to match the load impedance and the power supply impedance.
The bonding section 10 includes a pressing section 12 that presses the plasma-treated die M so that the pattern can be transferred to the substrate B.
The separating portion 30 functions to release the mold M from the substrate after the pattern is transferred to the substrate.
Although the coupling portion 10 and the separating portion 30 may be provided separately for coupling and separating the die M and the substrate B, a working portion (not shown) that performs both the pressing and releasing functions may be provided.
For example, if the working unit (not shown) is constituted by a piston rod or a robot arm that can be extended or reduced in length by opening/closing control, the die M presses the substrate by the downward movement of the working unit (not shown) and separates from the substrate by the upward movement.
The working unit (not shown) may be configured to be movable by the transfer unit 40, that is, to perform a pressing process by lowering the die M in an Open (ON) state when the working unit is located in the chamber 16, and to perform a releasing process by returning the die M from a closed (OFF) state to the original position and separating the die M from the substrate B when the working unit is located in the separating unit 30.
On the other hand, the imprint apparatus of the present invention further includes a control unit (not shown).
In order to reuse the mold M, the control section controls the transfer section to replace the existing mold with a new mold. Specifically, the control unit may count the number of times the mold M is coupled to or separated from the substrate, and may replace the mold M with a new mold according to the set number of times. Alternatively, the surface state of the mold M separated by the separating unit 30 may be checked, and the mold M may be replaced with a new mold according to the surface state.
[ example 1]
In the embossing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the surface modification unit 20, the coupling unit 10, and the separation unit 30 may be sequentially disposed in the forward direction at a predetermined pitch, and as shown in fig. 2, the coupling unit 10, the surface modification unit 20, and the separation unit 30 may be sequentially disposed in the forward direction of the die M at a predetermined pitch.
As illustrated in fig. 3, the surface modification portion 20 and the separation portion 30 in fig. 1 may be provided in a position that is replaced with each other.
The positions of the surface modification part 20, the joining part 10, and the separation part 30 may be variously modified according to the designer's intention.
On the other hand, the imprint apparatus of the present invention further includes a coating portion 50.
The substrate B is periodically supplied to the bonding part 10 after the coating part 50 is coated, and the coating part 50 coats the upper part of the substrate B with resin, but according to the present invention, there is an advantage that engineering from coating of the substrate B to continuity of pattern transfer can be performed.
The coating section 50 includes a spin coating section 52 and a drying section 54, the spin coating section 52 functioning to rotate the substrate so that the resin is uniformly applied to the substrate B by centrifugal force, and the drying section 54 functioning to dry the resin uniformly applied to the substrate B.
As such, when the resin is uniformly applied to the substrate B and dried, the substrate B is transferred to the bonding part 10.
In addition to the pressed portion 12, the joint portion 10 may include: a chamber 16 maintaining a low vacuum state to prevent inflow of foreign substances; and a curing section 14 for curing the resin on the substrate B.
The imprint method of the present invention is explained below with reference to the drawings.
As illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, the first substrate B1 is rotated in the spin coating section 52 of the coating section 50 so that the resin is uniformly applied to the substrate B by centrifugal force, and the uniformly applied resin is dried in the drying section 54.
In a state where the resin is coated and dried, the first substrate B1 is supplied to the low vacuum chamber 16 of the joint 10.
On the other hand, as the mold M is subjected to the atmospheric plasma treatment by the surface modification section 20, the mold M subjected to the surface modification by the plasma treatment is positioned on the low vacuum chamber 16 as it is transferred in the forward direction, and a pressing process for transferring the pattern of the mold M to the substrate B is performed as the mold M is joined to the substrate B by the operation of the pressing section 12.
The mold M and the substrate B joined in the cavity 16 move in the forward direction again in accordance with the movement of the transfer unit 40, the mold M and the substrate B are positioned in the separation unit 30 in a joined state, and the mold M and the substrate B are separated in the separation unit 30.
Thereafter, the mold M is transferred in the upward-leftward direction (hereinafter, referred to as "reverse direction") to perform the plasma treatment on the surface of the mold M again, the mold M is transferred in the forward direction again to press the pattern of the mold M against the new substrate B, and the mold M is transferred in the forward direction to release the new substrate, which is repeatedly and continuously performed.
On the other hand, an embodiment of the imprint method of the present invention is explained with reference to fig. 3.
As illustrated in fig. 3, the imprinting method of the present invention proceeds as follows: the surface of the mold M having the pattern formed thereon is subjected to plasma treatment, the mold M is moved in the reverse direction to press the M pattern against the substrate B, and then the mold M is moved in the forward direction to release the substrate B.
Thereafter, a process of performing plasma processing is performed to enable reuse of the released process of the mold M.
Specifically, the mold M is transferred in the reverse direction to perform the plasma treatment on the surface of the mold M again, the mold M is transferred in the reverse direction again to press the pattern of the mold M against the new substrate B, and then the mold M is transferred in the forward direction to release the new substrate.
The above processes are repeatedly and continuously performed to shorten the process time and improve the productivity.
Further, the present invention may further include a process of replacing a die, which has performed the set number of punching or releasing times, of the released process dies with a new die. Specifically, to replace the mold, the transfer unit 40 operates to move a new mold adjacent to the existing mold to the position of the existing mold.
On the other hand, fig. 4 is still another embodiment of the imprint method of the present invention. According to the apparatus structure of the above-described embodiment (see fig. 2), such an imprint method differs only in the order of operation, and therefore the description of the above-described embodiment is substituted.
[ example 2]
Hereinafter, in the description of embodiment 2, the description of the same structure as embodiment 1 will be omitted for convenience.
As shown in fig. 5, in the imprint apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, the die M includes a first die M1 and a second die M2 provided on the transfer unit 40 at a predetermined interval, the surface modification unit 20 includes a first surface modification unit 22 and a second surface modification unit 24 provided at a predetermined interval with respect to the bonding unit 10, and the separation unit 30 includes a first separation unit 32 and a second separation unit 34 provided at a predetermined interval with respect to the bonding unit 10 and the surface modification unit 20. The transfer unit 40 transfers the first or second mold M1 or M2 separated by one of the first and second separating units 32 and 34 to one of the first and second surface modification units 22 and 24.
Specifically, the second separating portion 34, the second surface-modified portion 24, the joining portion 10, the first surface-modified portion 22, and the first separating portion 32 are fixedly provided in the left-to-right direction (hereinafter referred to as the "positive direction").
The transfer unit 40 reciprocates in the forward direction or the reverse direction on the fixed line, and the first mold M1 and the second mold M2 are provided in the transfer unit 40.
The first and second molds M1 and M2 are surface-modified at the first and second surface-modified parts 22 and 24, and are separated from the substrate B at the first and second separating parts 32 and 34, respectively, after the bonding part 10 is bonded to the substrate B, which is periodically supplied to the bonding part 10 after the coating part 50 is coated.
Another embodiment of the imprint method of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 5 and 6 of the drawings.
Another embodiment of the present invention is an imprinting method for stamping two or more substrates using first and second dies M1 and M2 having patterns formed thereon, wherein the process of stamping and the process of releasing the first and second dies M1 and M2, respectively, are simultaneously performed. This can improve productivity.
That is, after the surface of the first mold M1 is modified by plasma treatment and the first substrate B1 is pressed, and the surface of the second mold M2 is modified by plasma treatment, the pressed first mold M1 is released from the first substrate B1, and the second mold M2 subjected to plasma treatment is pressed against the second substrate B2.
The imprint method using the imprint apparatus of fig. 5 will be specifically described in terms of a procedure.
The first substrate B1 is rotated at the spin coating section 52 of the coating section 50 so that the resin is uniformly coated on the substrate B by centrifugal force, and the uniformly coated resin is dried at the drying section 54.
In a state where the resin is coated and dried, the first substrate B1 is supplied to the low vacuum chamber 16 of the joint 10.
On the other hand, as the first mold M1 performs the atmospheric plasma treatment on the first mold M1 by the second surface modification unit 24, the first mold M1, which has been surface-modified by the plasma treatment, is positioned on the low vacuum chamber 16 as it is transferred in the forward direction, and a pressing process is performed in which the pattern of the first mold M1 is transferred to the first substrate B1 as the first mold M1 and the first substrate B1 are joined by the operation of the pressing unit 12.
At this time, the second mold M2, which is provided on the same PET film with a predetermined interval from the first mold M1, is positioned on the second separating part 34, and the second separating part 34 is not separately operated, but is maintained in a waiting state.
The first mold M1 and the first substrate B1 coupled to each other in the chamber 16 move in the forward direction again in accordance with the movement of the transfer unit 40.
If the first mold M1 and the first substrate B1 move to the first surface modification part 22 in a state of being bonded, the second mold M2 will be located at the second surface modification part 24.
At this time, the first surface modification unit 22 is not separately operated, and only the second surface modification unit 24 is operated to perform the plasma treatment on the surface of the second mold M2 to modify the surface.
When the surface of the second mold M2 is modified, the transfer unit 40 operates again to transfer the second mold M2, the first mold M1 and the first substrate B1 in a coupled state, the first mold M1 and the first substrate B1 are positioned in the first separating unit 32 in a coupled state, and the second mold M2 is transferred to the coupling unit 10.
Thereafter, the first mold M1 is separated from the first substrate B1 at the first separation part 32.
While the separation process of the first mold M1 from the first substrate B1 is performed, the second mold M2 is combined with the second substrate B2 waiting inside the chamber 16 while the coating process is performed at the coating part 50, so that the pattern of the second mold M2 is transferred to the second substrate B2.
After the separation of the first mold M1 from the first substrate B1 and the coupling of the second mold M2 to the second substrate B2 are completed, the transfer unit 40 transfers the first mold M1, the coupled second mold M2 and the coupled second substrate B2 in the reverse direction, the first mold M1 is positioned in the first surface modification unit 22, and the second mold M2 and the coupled second substrate B2 are positioned in the second surface modification unit 24.
At this time, the first surface-modified portion 22 is in the ON state, and the surface of the first mold M1 is subjected to plasma treatment. During this process, the second surface-modified portion 24 is in an OFF (OFF) state and does not separately operate.
When the plasma processing of the surface of the first mold M1 is completed, the transfer unit 40 is again moved in the reverse direction, and the first mold M1 is positioned inside the chamber 16 of the bonding unit 10, and the second mold M2 and the second substrate B2 are positioned in the second separating unit 34.
Thereafter, the first mold M1 is coupled to the third substrate B3 waiting inside the chamber 16, and the coupled state of the second mold M2 to the second substrate B2 is released at the second separating portion 34.
On the other hand, the imprint apparatus of still another embodiment of the present invention is technically characterized in that, although a physical means such as plasma treatment is utilized for improving the mold release property, a mold surface-treated by a chemical means such as coating layer formation is utilized.
The imprint apparatus described in detail above includes: a bonding section that bonds the mold and the substrate so that a pattern of the mold, which has been surface-treated by physical or chemical means, can be pressed against the substrate; a separating part for separating the combined mold and substrate; and a transfer section that transfers the mold. The transfer unit is configured to transfer the mold separated by the separation unit to the joining unit and reuse the mold.
An imprint method using such an imprint apparatus includes: a process of pressing a pattern of a mold, which is surface-treated by a physical or chemical means, onto a substrate; a process of moving the die in one direction to release the die from the substrate to be punched; a process of transferring the mold to the other direction and pressing the pattern of the mold subjected to the surface treatment on a new substrate; and a process of moving the mold in a direction to release the mold from the new substrate that is punched. In addition, such respective processes are repeatedly and continuously performed.
Although the above description has been focused on the embodiments of the present invention, the number, arrangement, and the like of the components such as the surface modification portion, the coupling portion, and the separation portion may be variously modified based on the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that such modifications also fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
