Abstract :
High vertical resolution 3D Nanoimprint technology for nanophotonic applications is presented. Opaque and transparent 3D templates with 64 different heights are fabricated. Surface roughness and structure height accuracy better than 1 nm are achieved. The conservation of these critical parameters during the 3D Nanoimprint process is proved. A Fabry-Peacuterot filter array is shown as a possible application with a filter transmittance of up to 90% and a linewidth (FWHM) of less than 3 nm.
