Abstract
A laminate nanomold includes a layer of perfluoropolyether defining a cavity that has a predetermined shape and a support layer coupled with the layer of perfluoropolyether. The laminate can also include a tie-layer coupling the layer of perfluoropolyether with the support layer. The tie-layer can also include a photocurable component and a thermal curable component. The cavity can have a broadest dimension of less than 500 nanometers.
Claims20
A system for making a laminate mold, comprising:
- a patterned master defining structures configured to receive a curable material;
- a support layer configured to mate with the patterned master and conform the curable material with the structures of the patterned master;
- and
- a curing device configured to cure the curable material such that the curable material substantially retains a mirror image of the structures of the patterned master, wherein after removal of the patterned master the combined support layer and cured material have a modulus of at least 200 times the modulus of the cured curable material without the support layer.
