About Molds for Nanoimprinting Nanoimprinting is a microfabrication technology that transfers patterns at the tens of nanometer level by pressing a mold, which serves as an original plate. Because of the simplicity of the process, nanoimprinting is expected to be a technology for mass production of microstructures at low cost and with good reproducibility. Nanoimprint lithography can be classified into two types: "UV Method" and "Thermal Method" UV Nanoimprint Method: The UV nanoimprint method replicates patterns by pressing a patterned mold against UV-curable resin, which is then hardened by UV irradiation. This process works at normal temperature, giving this method the unique nature of allowing a high level of precision in the replication of patterns. Thermal Nanoimprint Method: The thermal nanoimprint method replicates patterns by pressing a patterned mold strongly against a thermoplastic resin, which is then cooled after being heated. Direct processing is possible for a variety of products if they are made of materials that are softened by heating. Pattern Shape Examples: Tekscend has had extensive achievements offering various molds to satisfying customers' needs. We are also focusing on research and development, including three-dimensional structure patterns. Please feel free to consult us regarding your desired pattern shape, etc.
