THE ROLL-TO-ROLL METHOD
Roll-to-Roll Is A Popular Method For Volume Fabrication On Flexible Materials; Metal, Paper, Polymers, and Thin Glass
Traditionally nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is derived from a quartz or glass wafer plate-against-plate process technology.
At Stensborg, we have developed our own unique and patented nip moulding process (HoloPrint®), designed for nanoimprinting on transparent as well as opaque materials. This approach works to avoid costly and undesirable web coatings.
The Roll-to-Roll machine typically employing several rollers, has various coating techniques; dip coating, knife-over-edge coating, slot-die coating, direct- and micro-gravure coating, inkjet and spray coating.
The Advantages Of Stensborg’s Roll-To-Roll NIL
THE BENEFITS BELOW ARE EXCLUSIVE TO OUR ROLL-TO-ROLL NIL OFFERING.
OUR UNIQUE SOLUTIONS
Roll-to-Roll vs Roll-to-Plate
The Roll-to-Roll process we offer is fast and scalable.
Our Roll-to-Roll machines routinely produce nanoimprints at speeds of up to 50 meters per minute. Due to this scalability, our R2R NIL process is cost-effective. The challenges can be a higher initial setup and complexities when running multiple processes.
The Roll-to-Plate process we offer is better suited for producing non-flexible substrates, e.g. glass and quartz. It is a preferred method for multiprocessing steps that might involve vacuum sputtering or other process requirements that can not be integrated into the R2R setup we provide.
It is also the best method for prototyping optical masters, e.g. the Stensborg Desktop R2P NanoImprinter, as our solution allows the production of smaller quantities, lowering the time consumption while minimising waste.
