摘要 / Abstract

Since its invention in 1995, nanoimprint lithography has been capable of patterning at sub-10 nm resolution. After thirty years, it now offers broad prospects across many industries, especially in semiconductors. In 2019 Canon announced that it had used nanoimprint technology to validate the fabrication of 3-D NAND memory chips, bypassing EUV lithography entirely and cutting energy consumption to 1/10 and costs to 1/3 of EUV. Moreover, in Q4 2024 Canon delivered the world’s first production-ready nanoimprint lithography system to a customer in Texas; the system is targeted at manufacturing NAND and DRAM memory devices. In compound semiconductors, nanoimprint has already displaced Stepper lithography as the primary means of boosting yield and reducing cost in LED-chip fabrication. For optical semiconductors, nanoimprint is equally competitive: SiC-based optoelectronics have now adopted nanoimprint lithography at scale for both development and high-volume production.
