BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to an imprint technology, and more particularly to a rolling mold for microstructured film imprinting.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] As the line width of an integrated circuit becomes increasingly narrower and traditional photolithography technologies are used for fabrications, the integrated circuit fabrication is restricted by the diffraction of light if the line width of an integrated circuit is smaller than the wavelength of the light; for instance, the fabrication of integrated circuits of a smaller size will be very difficult when the line width is below 100 nanometers. A research conducted by Stephen Y. Chou of Princeton University pioneered the nano-imprint lithography (NIL) imprints a pattern having a line width less than 10 nm by high temperature and high pressure, and its related technology has been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,772,905.
