Abstract

Nanoimprint lithography is a low cost method which produces trillions of nanostructures on a substrate. One application of this technology is patterned magnetic media where a single imprint on a disk can create a masking layer with more than a trillion nanostructures. Several challenges exist to imprinting bit patterned media (BPM) at a density greater than 1Tbit/in2. This technology would allow an extension of hard drive magnetic recording at densities greater than 1Tbit/in2. One such challenge is imprint resist mechanical properties where the imprinted masking layer should be free of thickness variations and resist flop-over. Herein we describe the nanoindentation mechanical properties of several imprint resist systems along with analysis of imprinted features of BPM at densities between 200-482 Gdots/in2.
