Abstract
We report for the first time the use of orientation dependent etching (ODE) of (110) c-Si in sidewall thin film technology for imprint mask fabrication with low line edge roughness (LER) over a large area. Oxidation is used for sidewall thin film formation with a good critical dimension control. 2-dimensional oxidation effects are discussed. Features down to 12 nm have been fabricated successfully. Simulation shows that the fabricated oxide line is strong enough to imprint both thermoplastic and photo-curable imprint resists.
