Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to roll-to-roll surface patterning by imprint method. A film of liquid phase resist is coated on a running web and subsequently brought into contact with a rolling replication tool with patterned features on its outer surface. In a simultaneous step, resist is 5 cured typically by heat or UV-light and patterned features on the rolling replication tool are replicated into the resist film during the contact with the replication tool. A major deficiency of conventional roll-to-roll imprinting is the generation of defects in the patterns due to trapped air. To overcome this limitation, the present invention describes a method and 10 apparatus to perform roll-to-roll imprinting under reduced-pressure or vacuum conditions.
