Optimisation of stamp compliance for nanoimprint lithography : an experimental and simulation investigation of deformation of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Ultraviolet Curable Po... by Ong, Zongjue

“…This simulation is used to predict the deformation of the mold layer for nano-­‐imprint processes under variable conditions such as: 1) Different loading pressure 2) Different modulus of material 3) Different aspect ratio of structure 4) Bulging behavior with different materials For simulation to be accurate, mechanical properties of the materials are obtained by doing tensile tests on five dog-­‐bone samples of each material to acquire the engineering stress–strain curve. …”
