Abstract

The suitability of Nano channel Alumina (NCA) as template for pattern transfer is studied as part of a nanoimprint process. Our investigation revealed that a commercially available NCA (Anodisc 13) is brittle in nature with high surface roughness but the roughness may be reduced by sputter coating the NCA with SiO2. We also report on characterization of the surface morphology of spin coated PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) film, which plays a vital role in the imprint process.
