Problems solved by technology

[0008] The present invention effectively solves the problem of non-uniform microstructure of the prepared surface due to the inevitable surface roughness of nano-imprinted ultra-thin materials by introducing a pressure-transmitting layer. The thickness of the pressure transmission layer is greater than the surface roughness of the material in contact with it, and its formability is not inferior to that of stamped metal under stamping conditions, so that the rheology of the pressure transmission layer can effectively fill the surface of the material in contact with it Micro pits form a seamless integrated structure, and the pressure of the loading device can be evenly transmitted to the imprinted metal material, so that the imprinted metal flows into the holes of the mold to form a uniform surface microstructure

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a uniform-surface micro-structure by an imprinted ultrathin material. The method comprises the following steps: (A) sequentially stacking a mold, an ultrafine material and a pressure transmission layer to form a sandwich structure; (B) heating the sandwich structure, and reducing the thickness of the sandwich structure with a loading device; and (C) removing the pressurized mold in the sandwich structure so as to form a duplicated uniform micro-structure on the surface of the ultrafine material. The method has the beneficial effects that, the imprinting process has a stable integral structure due to the design of the sandwich structure, high temperature operation is facilitated, and the compatibility of an existing nano-imprinting process is ensured; the geometrical limitation on an imprinted material in the existing nano-imprinting process can be greatly improved by introducing the pressure transmission layer, and the application range ofnano-imprinting, especially in the field of flexible devices, can be greatly expanded; the material is uniformly stressed in the imprinting process, and can be integrally duplicated; and the processis simple, strong in controllability and low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a uniform surface microstructure of an ultra-thin material. Background technique [0002] Flexible electronics are generally products that integrate multiple devices on the surface of thin-layer materials to obtain specific functions.
