Application: Methods for increasing the density of high-index nanoimprint lithography films (Patent ID: US20240160099A1)

The patent filed by Applied Materials Inc. relates to densified nanoimprint films and processes for their production, as well as optical devices containing these films. The densified nanoimprint film consists of a base nanoimprint film with nanoparticles such as titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, niobium oxide, etc., and a metal oxide layer between the nanoparticles. The metal oxide can be aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, or other oxides, and the refractive index of the densified film is higher than that of the base film. The densified film offers improved hardness, fracture strain, yield strength, and etch resistance compared to the base film, with a lower modulus of elasticity.

The method for forming the nanoimprint film involves depositing a metal oxide on a porous nanoimprint film using an atomic layer deposition process. The metal oxide can be niobium oxide, chromium oxide, titanium oxide, etc., and fills a significant portion of the voids in the base film. The resulting densified nanoimprint film has a higher refractive index and improved properties compared to the porous film. Additionally, the patent covers an optical device with gratings that includes the densified nanoimprint film, providing enhanced refractive index and performance characteristics.
