We demonstrated a simple UV nanoimprint method using vacuum packing. A glass substrate and a Si mold dropped with a photo-curable resist were vacuum-packed together in a packing sheet. They were pressed by atmospheric pressure and easily fixed without a complicated apparatus. We obtained a successful nanoimprint result for 100 nm width lines with high aspect ratio of 3.2. Further fine pattern of about 50 nm line width was also replicated using our simple method. The remaining thickness of the resist after imprint decreased with increasing the pressing pressure whereas it saturated due to the viscosity of the resist. This saturation tendency is well explained by the balance between the pressing force and the viscous force of the resist.

Discrete track media (DTM) fabricated by nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is considered as a potential technology for future hard disk drives (HDD). In the fabrication of a master mold for NIL, patterning the resist tracks with a narrow distribution in the width is the first critical step. This paper reports the challenges involved in the fabrication of high aspect ratio discrete tracks on Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resist by means of electron beam lithography. It was observed that fabrication parameters applied for successful patterning of discrete tracks in nanoscale length were not directly suitable for the patterning of discrete tracks in micron scale. Hence different approaches such as thick layer resist coating, introducing of post exposure baking process, and varying of exposure parameters were used in order to achieve uniform sharp discrete tracks in micron scale length on the resist. The optimal parameters were used to pattern 20 μm long tracks with 70 nm track pitch on the resist.
