Large-area three-dimensional optical imaging and sub-diffraction photolithography with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanotip array by Wu, Jin

“…The PDMS based photomasks gain the merits of low-cost, easy fabrication, ease-of-use, repeatedly usage. Since the elastomeric PDMS nanostructures can contact with underlying surfaces intimately, which enables the incident light to expose underlying photoresist in the optical near-field, the diffraction limit has been circumvented and therefore sub-diffraction nanostructures can be produced. …”
