Description
本發明是有關於一種壓印技術,且特別是有關於一種圖案結構之製作方法。 The present invention relates to an imprint technique, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a pattern structure.
一般而言,利用壓印製程來形成具圖案之薄膜時,會先對模仁之壓印圖案結構進行表面改質處理,以使壓印圖案結構之凸出部與凹陷部對轉印材料具有親近或疏離的性質。例如,利用表面改質處理使模仁之壓印圖案結構的凸出部具有疏離轉印材料的性質,而使凹陷部具有親近轉印材料的性質。藉由轉印材料對凸出部與凹陷部的吸附力的不同,可使轉印材料欲壓印至基板的部分,例如轉印材料位於凸出部上的部分,順利脫離模仁而沾黏在基板表面上。 Generally, when an embossing process is used to form a patterned film, the embossed pattern structure of the mold core is first subjected to surface modification treatment so that the convex portion and the concave portion of the embossed pattern structure are close to the transfer material. Or the nature of alienation. For example, the surface modification treatment causes the projection of the embossed pattern structure of the mold core to have the property of alienating the transfer material, and the depressed portion has the property of being close to the transfer material. By the difference in the adsorption force of the transfer material on the convex portion and the concave portion, the portion of the transfer material to be imprinted to the substrate, for example, the portion of the transfer material on the convex portion, can be smoothly separated from the mold and adhered. On the surface of the substrate.
然而,在進行模仁之表面改質處理時,不易精確且大面積地控制模仁表面之改質位置。此外,欲轉印之材料需克服其與模仁間的附著力問題,方可成功轉印至基板表面,然因模仁之表面改質處理控制不易,因此極易造成最後壓印的圖案失真或破損。 However, when the surface modification process of the mold core is performed, it is difficult to accurately and extensively control the modified position of the surface of the mold. In addition, the material to be transferred needs to overcome the adhesion problem between the mold and the mold, and can be successfully transferred to the surface of the substrate, but the surface modification treatment of the mold core is difficult to control, so that the pattern of the final imprint is easily deformed or damaged.
因此,本發明之一態樣就是在提供一種圖案結構之製作方法及透明導電結構之製作方法,其係利用電泳(electrophoretic)或介電泳(dielectrophoretic)的方式,於模仁之壓印圖案結構上形成轉印材料層。由於轉印材料並非利用其對模仁之親疏性來沾附在模仁上,因此轉印材料對於模仁之附著力較弱,而可順利脫模,進而可大幅提升壓印成功率。而且,此方法之步驟少且簡單,也無需在真空系統中進行,製程速度快。 Therefore, one aspect of the present invention provides a method for fabricating a pattern structure and a method for fabricating a transparent conductive structure, which are formed by electrophoretic or dielectrophoretic methods on an embossed pattern structure of a mold core. Transfer material layer. Since the transfer material is not adhered to the mold core by virtue of its affinity for the mold core, the transfer material has a weak adhesion to the mold core, and can be smoothly released, thereby greatly increasing the success rate of the stamp. Moreover, the steps of this method are few and simple, and there is no need to carry out in a vacuum system, and the process speed is fast.
本發明之另一態樣是在提供一種圖案結構之製作方法及透明導電結構之製作方法,其中電場可均勻地施加在模仁之整個壓印圖案結構的表面或預設區域上,因此模仁可在大範圍區域內均勻吸附轉印材料,故不僅可適用於大壓印面積,且可有效避免轉印之圖案結構破損,而可提升壓印之穩定性,進而可提升壓印製程的良率。 Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for fabricating a pattern structure and a method for fabricating a transparent conductive structure, wherein an electric field can be uniformly applied to a surface or a predetermined area of the entire embossed pattern structure of the mold core, so that the mold core can be Uniform adsorption of the transfer material in a wide area, so it can not only be applied to large embossing area, but also can effectively avoid the damage of the pattern structure of the transfer, and can improve the stability of the embossing, thereby improving the yield of the embossing process. .
本發明之又一態樣是在提供一種圖案結構之製作方法及透明導電結構之製作方法,其可藉由在模仁表面設置絕緣層的方式,來限制轉印材料形成於模仁上位置及厚度,因此可有效控制轉印圖案結構之圖案解析度與高度。 Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for fabricating a pattern structure and a method for fabricating a transparent conductive structure, which can limit the position of the transfer material on the mold core by providing an insulating layer on the surface of the mold core. The thickness is thus effective to control the pattern resolution and height of the transfer pattern structure.

請參照第1A圖至第1D圖,其係繪示依照本發明之第一實施方式的一種圖案結構之製程剖面圖。本實施方式之圖案製作方法可應用來製作各式具有圖案之結構,例如具有圖案之透明導電結構。本實施方式係利用壓印製程 來製作圖案結構。因此,製作圖案結構時,可先提供壓印用之模仁100。模仁100之一側102設有壓印圖案結構104。在一些實施例中,如第1A圖所示,壓印圖案結構104包含多個凸出部108與多個凹陷部106,其中這些凸出部108與凹陷部106交錯設置。在另一些實施例中,壓印圖案結構104可包含至少一個凸出部108與至少一凹陷部106。 Referring to FIGS. 1A to 1D, there are shown process cross-sectional views of a pattern structure in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The pattern forming method of the present embodiment can be applied to fabricate various patterns having a pattern, such as a transparent conductive structure having a pattern. This embodiment utilizes an imprint process To make the pattern structure. Therefore, when the pattern structure is formed, the mold core 100 for imprinting can be provided first. One side 102 of the mold core 100 is provided with an embossed pattern structure 104. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the embossed pattern structure 104 includes a plurality of protrusions 108 and a plurality of recesses 106, wherein the protrusions 108 are interleaved with the recesses 106. In other embodiments, the embossed pattern structure 104 can include at least one protrusion 108 and at least one recess 106.
模仁100可使用軟質或硬質的材料來製作,因此可依欲壓印之基板112(請先參照第1C圖)的性質來選擇模仁100的材料。在一些實施例中,模仁100之材料為導電材料,即整個模仁100為一導電體。在另一些實施例中,模仁100之本體並非導體,但模仁100之設有壓印圖案結構104的那側102表面覆設有導電層,例如導電類鑽碳、導電鑽石膜或石墨膜,藉以使壓印圖案結構104具有導電表面。在又一些實施例中,可僅於模仁100欲轉印之區域上設置導電層,例如僅於壓印圖案結構104之凸出部108的頂面116設置導電層、或者僅於凹陷部106之底面與側面設置導電層。藉此可使後續利用電泳製程或介電泳製程製作轉印材料層110(請先參照第1B圖)時,使轉印材料順利形成於模仁100之壓印圖案結構104上的導電區域上。 The mold core 100 can be made of a soft or hard material, so the material of the mold core 100 can be selected according to the properties of the substrate 112 to be imprinted (please refer to FIG. 1C first). In some embodiments, the material of the mold core 100 is a conductive material, that is, the entire mold core 100 is an electrical conductor. In other embodiments, the body of the mold core 100 is not a conductor, but the side of the side 102 of the mold core 100 provided with the embossed pattern structure 104 is covered with a conductive layer, such as a conductive diamond-like carbon, a conductive diamond film or a graphite film. Thereby, the embossed pattern structure 104 has a conductive surface. In still other embodiments, a conductive layer may be disposed only on the area where the mold core 100 is to be transferred, such as only the top surface 116 of the projection 108 of the embossed pattern structure 104, or only the recess 106. A conductive layer is disposed on the bottom surface and the side surface. Thereby, the transfer material layer 110 can be subsequently formed by an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process (refer to FIG. 1B first), and the transfer material is smoothly formed on the conductive region on the embossed pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100.
在一些示範例子中,可選擇性地在模仁100之壓印圖案結構104的表面,特別是欲轉印材料的表面,例如壓印圖案結構104之凸出部108的頂面116、或凹陷部106之底面與側面,進行抗沾黏處理或是塗布石墨片等表面改質處理,以使轉印材料較容易脫離模仁100並轉印在基板 112上。在另一些示範實施例中,對模仁100之壓印圖案結構104的表面進行抗沾黏處理時,可直接採用導電類鑽碳、導電鑽石或石墨來製作模仁100。藉此,使所製成之模仁100之壓印圖案結構104的表面具有抗沾黏性能,而無需額外進行壓印圖案結構104之表面的抗沾黏處理。 In some exemplary embodiments, the surface of the imprint pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100, particularly the surface of the material to be transferred, such as the top surface 116 of the projection 108 of the embossed pattern structure 104, or depression may be selectively applied. The bottom surface and the side surface of the portion 106 are subjected to anti-stick treatment or surface modification treatment such as coating of graphite sheets, so that the transfer material is more easily separated from the mold core 100 and transferred to the substrate. 112 on. In other exemplary embodiments, when the surface of the embossed pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100 is subjected to anti-sticking treatment, the mold core 100 may be directly formed using conductive diamond-like carbon, conductive diamond or graphite. Thereby, the surface of the embossed pattern structure 104 of the formed mold core 100 is rendered resistant to sticking without the need for additional anti-sticking treatment of the surface of the embossed pattern structure 104.
接著,對模仁100進行電泳製程或介電泳製程,以使轉印材料吸附於壓印圖案結構104上,而於壓印圖案結構104上形成轉印材料層110。在本實施方式中,如第1B圖所示,模仁100為導電模仁,因此轉印材料層110共形覆蓋在壓印圖案結構104上。在一些實施例中,轉印材料層110之材料的型式包含微奈米級粒子、微奈米級一維結構及/或微奈米級二維結構。微奈米級一維結構可例如包含奈米線、奈米柱與奈米管等。微奈米級二維結構可例如包含奈米片與奈米盤等。 Next, the mold core 100 is subjected to an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process to adsorb the transfer material onto the embossed pattern structure 104, and the transfer material layer 110 is formed on the embossed pattern structure 104. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1B, the mold core 100 is a conductive mold, and thus the transfer material layer 110 conformally covers the embossed pattern structure 104. In some embodiments, the pattern of material of the transfer material layer 110 comprises micronanoscale particles, micronanoscale one-dimensional structures, and/or micronanoscale two-dimensional structures. The micro-nano-scale one-dimensional structure may include, for example, a nanowire, a nanocolumn, a nanotube, or the like. The micron-sized two-dimensional structure may include, for example, a nanosheet and a nanodisk.
此外,在一些實施例中,轉印材料層110之材料包含金屬、導電碳系列材料、導電高分子材料、透明導電材料或上述材料的複合材料。金屬可例如包含銅、鎳與銀等。導電碳系列材料可例如包含石墨片、石墨粉、奈米碳管與石墨烯等。透明導電材料可例如包含氧化銦錫(In:SnO2,ITO)、摻鋁氧化鋅(Al:ZnO,AZO)、摻銻氧化錫(Sb:SnO2,ATO)與摻氟氧化錫(F:SnO2,FTO)等。在一示範例子中,轉印材料層110之材料可為金屬與石墨的複合物,其中石墨的含量為1wt%-20wt%,且石墨可作為黏著劑來增加轉印材料的黏著性。此外,石墨的添加,亦可使利用部分之轉 印材料層110所形成的圖案結構呈黑色,藉此可避免後續應用此圖案結構時形成摩爾紋(Moiré pattern)。在另一示範例子中,轉印材料層110之材料可為金屬與導電高分子材料的複合物,其中導電高分子材料的含量為1wt%-10wt%,且導電高分子材料可作為黏著劑來增加轉印材料的黏著性。 Further, in some embodiments, the material of the transfer material layer 110 comprises a metal, a conductive carbon series material, a conductive polymer material, a transparent conductive material, or a composite material of the above materials. The metal may, for example, comprise copper, nickel and silver, and the like. The conductive carbon series material may include, for example, a graphite sheet, a graphite powder, a carbon nanotube, a graphene, or the like. The transparent conductive material may, for example, comprise indium tin oxide (In:SnO 2 , ITO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (Al:ZnO, AZO), antimony-doped tin oxide (Sb:SnO 2 , ATO) and fluorine-doped tin oxide (F: SnO 2 , FTO), etc. In an exemplary embodiment, the material of the transfer material layer 110 may be a composite of metal and graphite, wherein the content of graphite is from 1% by weight to 20% by weight, and graphite may serve as an adhesive to increase the adhesion of the transfer material. In addition, the addition of graphite can also make the pattern structure formed by the portion of the transfer material layer 110 black, thereby avoiding the formation of a moiré pattern when the pattern structure is subsequently applied. In another exemplary embodiment, the material of the transfer material layer 110 may be a composite of a metal and a conductive polymer material, wherein the content of the conductive polymer material is 1% by weight to 10% by weight, and the conductive polymer material can be used as an adhesive. Increase the adhesion of the transfer material.
進行電泳製程或介電泳製程時,可以連續方式或脈衝方式對模仁100施加電壓。在施加脈衝電壓的實施例中,藉由模仁100對轉印材料的吸放過程中,可讓吸附在模仁100上的轉印材料層110的結構可以更為緊實。電泳製程或介電泳製程包含使用溶液,例如膠體溶液。此溶液為具有轉印材料之流體。電泳製程或介電泳製程期間,可不擾動溶液,或者以流動或震盪等方式擾動溶液。在一些實施例中,進行電泳製程或介電泳製程期間,可對此溶液進行進行超音波震盪處理。舉例而言,對於轉印一維或二維微奈米材料時,這些吸附於壓印圖案結構104上之一維或二維結構的材料可能不僅位於欲轉印之區域上,亦可能延伸而突出於欲轉印區域,利用超音波震盪可將這些突出於欲轉印區域之一維或二維材料的部分震碎,藉此可提高轉印圖案的解析度。在一些特定實施例中,可同時對溶液進行超音波震盪與對模仁100施加脈衝電壓。 When performing an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process, a voltage can be applied to the mold core 100 in a continuous manner or in a pulsed manner. In the embodiment in which the pulse voltage is applied, the structure of the transfer material layer 110 adsorbed on the mold core 100 can be made more compact by the suction and discharge of the transfer material by the mold core 100. Electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis processes involve the use of a solution, such as a colloidal solution. This solution is a fluid having a transfer material. During the electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis process, the solution may be disturbed or the solution may be disturbed by flow or vibration. In some embodiments, the solution may be subjected to ultrasonic vibration processing during the electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis process. For example, when transferring a one-dimensional or two-dimensional micro-nano material, the materials adsorbed on one or two-dimensional structure of the embossed pattern structure 104 may not only be located on the area to be transferred, but may also be extended. The portion to be transferred is protruded from the area to be transferred, and the portion of the dimension or the two-dimensional material protruding from the region to be transferred can be shattered by ultrasonic vibration, whereby the resolution of the transfer pattern can be improved. In some particular embodiments, the solution can be ultrasonically oscillated simultaneously with a pulsed voltage applied to the mold core 100.
在本實施方式中,利用電泳製程或介電泳製程於模仁100之壓印圖案結構104上形成轉印材料層的方式,步驟少且簡單,不需要在真空系統中進行,製程速度快,且 可適用於大壓印面積。 In the embodiment, the method of forming a transfer material layer on the embossed pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100 by using an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process is small and simple, does not need to be performed in a vacuum system, and has a high process speed, and Can be applied to large embossed areas.
於模仁100上形成轉印材料層110後,如第1C圖所示,利用模仁100進行壓印步驟。進行壓印步驟時,先提供基板112。接著,將模仁100之壓印圖案結構104與基板112之表面114對壓,而使凸出部108之頂面116上的轉印材料層110和基板112之表面114接合。基板112之材料可為無機物、有機物、或無機物與有機物混合之複合材料。此外,基板112可由可撓曲材質或不可撓曲之材質所構成。在一些實施例中,可對基板112之表面114額外進行表面處理,以增進基板112之表面114對轉印材料層110之吸引力,藉此進一步提升轉印的良率。 After the transfer material layer 110 is formed on the mold core 100, as shown in FIG. 1C, the stamping step is performed by the mold core 100. When the imprinting step is performed, the substrate 112 is first provided. Next, the embossed pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100 is pressed against the surface 114 of the substrate 112 such that the transfer material layer 110 on the top surface 116 of the projection 108 and the surface 114 of the substrate 112 are joined. The material of the substrate 112 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material in which an inorganic substance and an organic substance are mixed. Further, the substrate 112 may be formed of a flexible material or a material that is inflexible. In some embodiments, the surface 114 of the substrate 112 may be additionally surface treated to enhance the attractiveness of the surface 114 of the substrate 112 to the transfer material layer 110, thereby further enhancing the yield of the transfer.
隨後,將模仁100與基板112分開。此時,由於轉印材料層110係利用電泳製程或介電泳製程而黏附在模仁100之壓印圖案結構104的表面,因此轉印材料層110對於模仁100的附著力較弱。故,轉印材料層110與基板112之表面114接合的部分110b可順利脫離模仁100,而轉印到基板112之表面114上,並使轉印材料層110中位於凹陷部106的部分110a留在模仁100上,如第1D圖所示。此時,即已大致完成由轉印材料層110之部分110b構成的圖案結構的製作。 Subsequently, the mold core 100 is separated from the substrate 112. At this time, since the transfer material layer 110 is adhered to the surface of the embossed pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100 by an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process, the adhesion of the transfer material layer 110 to the mold core 100 is weak. Therefore, the portion 110b of the transfer material layer 110 bonded to the surface 114 of the substrate 112 can be smoothly separated from the mold core 100, transferred onto the surface 114 of the substrate 112, and the portion 110a of the transfer material layer 110 located at the recess 106. Stay on the mold core 100 as shown in Figure 1D. At this time, the fabrication of the pattern structure composed of the portion 110b of the transfer material layer 110 has been substantially completed.
在一些實施例中,可於壓印步驟前或於壓印步驟後,對模仁100之壓印圖案結構104上的轉印材料層110進行緊實化處理,以使轉印材料層110的結構更為緊密與固實,並可提升轉印材料層110之導電性。在一示範例子 中,於壓印步驟前進行緊實化處理時,可將轉印材料層110直接於待壓印之基板112上壓實,或是先將轉印材料層110於不沾黏基板上壓實後再轉印至基板112之表面114上。在另一示範例子中,於壓印步驟前進行緊實化處理時,可先在轉印材料層110之材料中摻入結合料,例如石墨與高分子材料等,藉以提升轉印材料層110之材料之間的黏著性,並可提升轉印材料層110之導電性。在又一示範例子中,當轉印材料層110為金屬材料時,可對轉印材料層110進行電鍍處理或無電鍍處理,以填補轉印材料層110之材料間的縫隙,藉此緊實化轉印材料層110之結構,並提升轉印材料層110之導電性。 In some embodiments, the transfer material layer 110 on the embossed pattern structure 104 of the mold core 100 may be subjected to a compacting process prior to the embossing step or after the embossing step to effect the transfer material layer 110. The structure is more compact and solid, and the conductivity of the transfer material layer 110 can be improved. In a demonstration example In the compacting process before the embossing step, the transfer material layer 110 may be directly compacted on the substrate 112 to be embossed, or the transfer material layer 110 may be compacted on the non-stick substrate. It is then transferred to the surface 114 of the substrate 112. In another exemplary embodiment, when the compacting process is performed before the imprinting step, a binder, such as graphite and a polymer material, may be first incorporated in the material of the transfer material layer 110, thereby lifting the transfer material layer 110. The adhesion between the materials and the conductivity of the transfer material layer 110 can be improved. In still another exemplary example, when the transfer material layer 110 is a metal material, the transfer material layer 110 may be subjected to a plating treatment or an electroless plating treatment to fill a gap between materials of the transfer material layer 110, thereby compacting The structure of the transfer material layer 110 is adjusted, and the conductivity of the transfer material layer 110 is improved.
於再一示範例子中,進行緊實化處理時,可先在轉印材料層110之材料中摻入高分子單體,隨後利用例如照射紫外光或加熱等方式,來使轉印材料層110之材料產生聚合,藉此緊實化轉印材料層110之結構,並提升轉印材料層110之導電性。於再一示範例子中,進行緊實化處理時,可加熱轉印材料層110,以增強轉印材料層110之材料間的鍵結,甚至可使轉印材料層110稍微熔入基板112中,藉此達到緊實轉印材料層110之結構、提升轉印材料層110之轉印到基板112上之部分110b對於基板112的附著力、以及提升轉印材料層110之導電性等效果。在一些例子中,加熱轉印材料層110時,可採用高週波加熱、超音波加熱與雷射加熱等方式。 In still another exemplary embodiment, when the compacting treatment is performed, the polymer monomer may be first doped into the material of the transfer material layer 110, and then the transfer material layer 110 may be made by, for example, irradiation with ultraviolet light or heating. The material is polymerized, thereby compacting the structure of the transfer material layer 110 and enhancing the conductivity of the transfer material layer 110. In still another exemplary embodiment, when the compacting process is performed, the transfer material layer 110 may be heated to enhance the bonding between the materials of the transfer material layer 110, and even the transfer material layer 110 may be slightly melted into the substrate 112. Thereby, the structure of the compact transfer material layer 110, the adhesion of the portion 110b of the transfer material layer 110 transferred onto the substrate 112 to the substrate 112, and the improvement of the conductivity of the transfer material layer 110 are achieved. In some examples, when the transfer material layer 110 is heated, high-frequency heating, ultrasonic heating, and laser heating may be employed.
本發明之圖案結構的製作亦可搭配絕緣層的使 用。請參照第2A圖至第2D圖,其係繪示依照本發明之第二實施方式的一種圖案結構之製程剖面圖。在本實施方式中,製作圖案結構時,可先提供壓印用之模仁200。模仁200之一側202設有壓印圖案結構204。在一些實施例中,如第2A圖所示,壓印圖案結構204包含多個交錯設置之凸出部208與多個凹陷部206。在另一些實施例中,壓印圖案結構204可包含至少一個凸出部208與至少一凹陷部206。 The pattern structure of the present invention can also be fabricated with an insulating layer use. Referring to FIGS. 2A to 2D, there are shown process cross-sectional views of a pattern structure in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, when the pattern structure is formed, the mold core 200 for imprinting may be provided first. One side 202 of the mold core 200 is provided with an embossed pattern structure 204. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2A, the embossed pattern structure 204 includes a plurality of staggered projections 208 and a plurality of recesses 206. In other embodiments, the embossed pattern structure 204 can include at least one protrusion 208 and at least one recess 206.
在本實施方式中,模仁200之材料的選擇、以及導電層的材料與設置原則,均與上述第一實施方式中的模仁100相同,故於此不再贅述。在一些示範例子中,可選擇性地在模仁200之壓印圖案結構204的表面,特別是欲轉印材料的表面,例如壓印圖案結構204之凸出部208的頂面218,進行抗沾黏處理或是塗布石墨片等表面改質處理,或是直接採用導電類鑽碳、導電鑽石或石墨等抗沾黏材料來製作模仁200,以使轉印材料較容易脫離模仁200並轉印在基板214(請先參照第2C圖)上。 In the present embodiment, the selection of the material of the mold core 200 and the material and setting principle of the conductive layer are the same as those of the mold core 100 in the first embodiment described above, and thus will not be described herein. In some exemplary embodiments, the surface of the imprint pattern structure 204 of the mold core 200, particularly the surface of the material to be transferred, such as the top surface 218 of the projection 208 of the imprint pattern structure 204, may be selectively resisted. Surface modification such as adhesion treatment or coating of graphite sheets, or direct use of conductive diamond-like carbon, conductive diamond or graphite and other anti-adhesive materials to make the mold 200, so that the transfer material is easier to separate from the mold 200 Transfer onto the substrate 214 (please refer to Figure 2C first).
在本實施方式中,如第2A圖所示,於提供模仁200後,更形成絕緣層210覆蓋在壓印圖案結構204之凹陷部206的底面220上。絕緣層210並未填滿凹陷部206,因此絕緣層210之頂面222低於凸出部208之頂面218。絕緣層210之材料可為無機材料、有機材料、或有機材料與無機材料所組成之複合材料。在模仁200上設置絕緣層210的目的在於可避免後續的電泳或介電泳製程期間,轉印材料因電場吸引到絕緣層210所在之處。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, after the mold core 200 is provided, the insulating layer 210 is further formed to cover the bottom surface 220 of the depressed portion 206 of the embossed pattern structure 204. The insulating layer 210 does not fill the recess 206, so the top surface 222 of the insulating layer 210 is lower than the top surface 218 of the protrusion 208. The material of the insulating layer 210 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material composed of an organic material and an inorganic material. The purpose of providing the insulating layer 210 on the mold core 200 is to prevent the transfer material from being attracted to the insulating layer 210 by the electric field during subsequent electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis processes.
接著,對模仁200進行電泳製程或介電泳製程,以使轉印材料吸附於壓印圖案結構204上,而於壓印圖案結構204上形成轉印材料層212。在本實施方式中,如第2B圖所示,模仁200為導電模仁,且絕緣層210覆蓋在壓印圖案結構204之凹陷部206的底面220,因此轉印材料層212僅形成在凸出部208上。在本實施方式中,轉印材料層212之材料及材料之結構類型的選擇均與上述第一實施方式中的轉印材料層110相同,電泳製程或介電泳製程的進行方式的選擇也與上述第一實施方式之電泳製程或介電泳製程相同,故於此不再贅述。 Next, the mold core 200 is subjected to an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process to adsorb the transfer material onto the embossed pattern structure 204, and a transfer material layer 212 is formed on the embossed pattern structure 204. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the mold core 200 is a conductive mold, and the insulating layer 210 covers the bottom surface 220 of the depressed portion 206 of the embossed pattern structure 204, so that the transfer material layer 212 is formed only in the convex portion. On the exit 208. In the present embodiment, the material type and the material type of the transfer material layer 212 are selected in the same manner as the transfer material layer 110 in the first embodiment, and the selection of the electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process is also performed. The electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process of the first embodiment is the same, and thus will not be described herein.
於模仁200上形成轉印材料層212後,如第2C圖所示,利用模仁200進行壓印步驟。進行壓印步驟時,先提供基板214。接著,將模仁200之壓印圖案結構204與基板214之表面216對壓,而使凸出部208之頂面218上的轉印材料層212和基板214之表面216接合。基板214之材料可為無機物、有機物、或無機物與有機物混合之複合材料。此外,基板214可由可撓曲材質或不可撓曲之材質所構成。在一些實施例中,可對基板214之表面216額外進行表面處理,以增進基板214之表面216對轉印材料層212之吸引力,藉此進一步提升轉印的良率。 After the transfer material layer 212 is formed on the mold core 200, as shown in Fig. 2C, the stamping step is performed by the mold core 200. When the imprinting step is performed, the substrate 214 is first provided. Next, the embossed pattern structure 204 of the mold core 200 is pressed against the surface 216 of the substrate 214 to bond the transfer material layer 212 on the top surface 218 of the projection 208 to the surface 216 of the substrate 214. The material of the substrate 214 may be an inorganic material, an organic substance, or a composite material in which an inorganic substance and an organic substance are mixed. Further, the substrate 214 may be composed of a flexible material or a material that is inflexible. In some embodiments, the surface 216 of the substrate 214 may be additionally surface treated to enhance the attractiveness of the surface 216 of the substrate 214 to the transfer material layer 212, thereby further enhancing the yield of the transfer.
隨後,將模仁200與基板214分開。此時,轉印材料層212與基板214之表面216接合的部分212b可順利脫離模仁200,而轉印到基板214之表面216上,並使轉印材料層212中位於凹陷部206的部分212a留在模仁200上, 如第2D圖所示。此時,即已大致完成由轉印材料層212之部分212b構成的圖案結構的製作。在本實施方式中,同樣可如同上述第一實施方式般,於壓印步驟前或於壓印步驟後,對模仁200之壓印圖案結構204上的轉印材料層212進行緊實化處理,以使轉印材料層212的結構更為緊密與固實,並提升轉印材料層212之導電性。本實施方式之緊實化處理進行之時機與可採用之方式同於第一實施方式,故於此不再贅述。 Subsequently, the mold core 200 is separated from the substrate 214. At this time, the portion 212b of the transfer material layer 212 bonded to the surface 216 of the substrate 214 can be smoothly separated from the mold core 200, transferred onto the surface 216 of the substrate 214, and the portion of the transfer material layer 212 located at the recess portion 206. 212a remains on the mold core 200, As shown in Figure 2D. At this time, the fabrication of the pattern structure composed of the portion 212b of the transfer material layer 212 has been substantially completed. In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, the transfer material layer 212 on the embossed pattern structure 204 of the mold core 200 may be compacted before the embossing step or after the embossing step. In order to make the structure of the transfer material layer 212 more compact and solid, and to improve the conductivity of the transfer material layer 212. The timing of the compaction processing of the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus will not be described again.
請參照第3A圖至第3D圖,其係繪示依照本發明之第三實施方式的一種圖案結構之製程剖面圖。在本實施方式中,製作圖案結構時,可先提供壓印用之模仁300。模仁300之一側302設有壓印圖案結構304。在一些實施例中,如第3A圖所示,壓印圖案結構304包含多個交錯設置之凸出部308與多個凹陷部306。在另一些實施例中,壓印圖案結構304可包含至少一個凸出部308與至少一凹陷部306。 Referring to FIGS. 3A to 3D, there are shown process cross-sectional views of a pattern structure in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, when the pattern structure is formed, the mold core 300 for imprinting may be provided first. One side 302 of the mold core 300 is provided with an embossed pattern structure 304.

In other embodiments, the embossed pattern structure 304 can include at least one protrusion 308 and at least one recess 306.
在本實施方式中,模仁300之材料的選擇、以及導電層的材料與設置原則,均與上述第一實施方式中的模仁100相同,故於此不再贅述。在一些示範例子中,可選擇性地在模仁300之壓印圖案結構304的表面,特別是欲轉印材料的表面,即壓印圖案結構304之凸出部308的頂面318,進行抗沾黏處理或是塗布石墨片等表面改質處理,或是直接採用導電類鑽碳、導電鑽石或石墨等抗沾黏材料來製作模仁300,以使轉印材料較容易脫離模仁300並轉印在 基板314(請先參照第3C圖)上。 In the present embodiment, the selection of the material of the mold core 300 and the material and setting principle of the conductive layer are the same as those of the mold core 100 in the first embodiment described above, and thus will not be described herein. In some exemplary embodiments, the surface of the imprint pattern structure 304 of the mold core 300, particularly the surface of the material to be transferred, i.e., the top surface 318 of the projection 308 of the imprint pattern structure 304, may be selectively resisted.

在本實施方式中,如第3A圖所示,於提供模仁300後,更形成絕緣層310覆蓋在壓印圖案結構304之凹陷部306的底面320上,且使絕緣層310填滿凹陷部306。此外,絕緣層310之頂面322與凸出部308之頂面318共面,即絕緣層310之頂面322與凸出部308之頂面318等高。絕緣層310之材料可為無機材料、有機材料、或有機材料與無機材料所組成之複合材料。在模仁300上設置絕緣層310的目的同樣在於可避免後續的電泳或介電泳製程期間,轉印材料因電場吸引到絕緣層310所在之處。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, after the mold core 300 is provided, the insulating layer 310 is further formed on the bottom surface 320 of the recess portion 306 of the embossed pattern structure 304, and the insulating layer 310 is filled with the recess portion. 306. In addition, the top surface 322 of the insulating layer 310 is coplanar with the top surface 318 of the protrusion 308, that is, the top surface 322 of the insulating layer 310 is equal to the top surface 318 of the protrusion 308. The material of the insulating layer 310 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material composed of an organic material and an inorganic material. The purpose of providing the insulating layer 310 on the mold core 300 is also to prevent the transfer material from being attracted to the insulating layer 310 by the electric field during subsequent electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis processes.
接著,對模仁300進行電泳製程或介電泳製程,以使轉印材料吸附於壓印圖案結構304上,而於壓印圖案結構304上形成轉印材料層312。在本實施方式中,轉印材料層312之材料及材料之結構類型的選擇均與上述第一實施方式中的轉印材料層110相同,電泳製程或介電泳製程的進行方式的選擇也與上述第一實施方式之電泳製程或介電泳製程相同,故於此不再贅述。 Next, the mold core 300 is subjected to an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process to adsorb the transfer material onto the embossed pattern structure 304, and a transfer material layer 312 is formed on the embossed pattern structure 304. In the present embodiment, the material type and the material type of the transfer material layer 312 are selected in the same manner as the transfer material layer 110 in the first embodiment, and the selection of the electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process is also performed. The electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process of the first embodiment is the same, and thus will not be described herein.
在本實施方式中,如第3B圖所示,模仁300為導電模仁,且絕緣層310之頂面322與壓印圖案結構304之凸出部308之頂面318等高,因此轉印材料層312僅形成在凸出部308之頂面318上。藉此絕緣層310的設計,可更精確控制欲轉印至基板314之轉印材料層312的尺寸,進而可提升轉印之圖案結構的解析度。此外,由於轉印材料並不會吸附在絕緣層310上,因此可使轉印在基板314 上的圖案結構層不具有殘留層。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the mold core 300 is a conductive mold, and the top surface 322 of the insulating layer 310 is equal to the top surface 318 of the convex portion 308 of the embossed pattern structure 304, and thus is transferred. Material layer 312 is formed only on top surface 318 of projections 308. Thereby, the design of the insulating layer 310 can more precisely control the size of the transfer material layer 312 to be transferred to the substrate 314, thereby improving the resolution of the transferred pattern structure. In addition, since the transfer material is not adsorbed on the insulating layer 310, it can be transferred onto the substrate 314. The upper patterned structure layer does not have a residual layer.
於模仁300上形成轉印材料層312後,如第3C圖所示,利用模仁300進行壓印步驟。進行壓印步驟時,先提供基板314。接著,將模仁300之壓印圖案結構304與基板314之表面316對壓,而使凸出部308之頂面318上的轉印材料層312和基板314之表面316接合。基板314之材料可為無機物、有機物、或無機物與有機物混合之複合材料。此外,基板314可由可撓曲材質或不可撓曲之材質所構成。在一些實施例中,可對基板314之表面316額外進行表面處理,以增進基板314之表面316對轉印材料層312之吸引力,藉此進一步提升轉印的良率。 After the transfer material layer 312 is formed on the mold core 300, as shown in Fig. 3C, the stamping step is performed by the mold core 300. When the imprinting step is performed, the substrate 314 is first provided. Next, the embossed pattern structure 304 of the mold core 300 is pressed against the surface 316 of the substrate 314, and the transfer material layer 312 on the top surface 318 of the projection 308 is bonded to the surface 316 of the substrate 314. The material of the substrate 314 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material in which an inorganic substance and an organic substance are mixed. Further, the substrate 314 may be composed of a flexible material or a material that is inflexible. In some embodiments, the surface 316 of the substrate 314 may be additionally surface treated to enhance the attractiveness of the surface 316 of the substrate 314 to the transfer material layer 312, thereby further enhancing the yield of the transfer.
隨後,將模仁300與基板314分開。此時,由於整個轉印材料層312均與基板314之表面316接合,因此轉印材料層312可順利脫離模仁300,而全部轉印到基板314之表面316上,如第3D圖所示。至此,即已大致完成由轉印材料層312構成之圖案結構的製作。在本實施方式中,同樣可如同上述第一實施方式般,於壓印步驟前或於壓印步驟後,對模仁300之壓印圖案結構304上的轉印材料層312進行緊實化處理,以使轉印材料層312的結構更為緊密與固實,並提升轉印材料層312之導電性。本實施方式之緊實化處理可採用之方式同於第一實施方式,故於此不再贅述。 Subsequently, the mold core 300 is separated from the substrate 314. At this time, since the entire transfer material layer 312 is bonded to the surface 316 of the substrate 314, the transfer material layer 312 can be smoothly separated from the mold core 300 and transferred to the surface 316 of the substrate 314 as shown in FIG. 3D. . Thus far, the fabrication of the pattern structure composed of the transfer material layer 312 has been substantially completed. In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, the transfer material layer 312 on the embossed pattern structure 304 of the mold core 300 may be compacted before the embossing step or after the embossing step. In order to make the structure of the transfer material layer 312 more compact and solid, and to improve the conductivity of the transfer material layer 312. The tightening process of the present embodiment can be applied in the same manner as the first embodiment, and thus will not be described again.
請參照第4A圖至第4D圖,其係繪示依照本發明之第四實施方式的一種圖案結構之製程剖面圖。在本實施 方式中,製作圖案結構時,可先提供壓印用之模仁400。模仁400之一側402設有壓印圖案結構404。在一些實施例中,如第4A圖所示,壓印圖案結構404包含多個交錯設置之凸出部408與多個凹陷部406。在另一些實施例中,壓印圖案結構404可包含至少一個凸出部408與至少一凹陷部406。 Please refer to FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D, which are cross-sectional views showing a process of a pattern structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this implementation In the method, when the pattern structure is formed, the mold core 400 for imprinting may be provided first. One side 402 of the mold core 400 is provided with an embossed pattern structure 404. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4A, the embossed pattern structure 404 includes a plurality of staggered projections 408 and a plurality of recesses 406. In other embodiments, the embossed pattern structure 404 can include at least one protrusion 408 and at least one recess 406.
在本實施方式中,模仁400之材料的選擇、以及導電層的材料與設置原則,均與上述第一實施方式中的模仁100相同,故於此不再贅述。在一些示範例子中,可選擇性地在模仁400之壓印圖案結構404的表面,特別是欲轉印材料的表面,即壓印圖案結構404之凸出部408的頂面418,進行抗沾黏處理或是塗布石墨片等表面改質處理,或是直接採用導電類鑽碳、導電鑽石或石墨等抗沾黏材料來製作模仁400,以使轉印材料較容易脫離模仁400並轉印在基板414(請先參照第4C圖)上。 In the present embodiment, the selection of the material of the mold core 400 and the material and setting principle of the conductive layer are the same as those of the mold core 100 in the first embodiment described above, and thus will not be described herein. In some exemplary embodiments, the surface of the imprint pattern structure 404 of the mold core 400, particularly the surface of the material to be transferred, i.e., the top surface 418 of the projection 408 of the imprint pattern structure 404, may be selectively resisted. Surface modification such as adhesion treatment or coating of graphite sheets, or direct use of conductive diamond-like carbon, conductive diamond or graphite and other anti-adhesive materials to make the mold core 400, so that the transfer material is easier to separate from the mold core 400 Transfer onto the substrate 414 (please refer to Figure 4C first).
在本實施方式中,如第4A圖所示,於提供模仁400後,更形成絕緣層410覆蓋在壓印圖案結構404之凹陷部406的底面420上,且使絕緣層410填滿凹陷部406並突出於凸出部408。也就是說,絕緣層410之頂面422高於凸出部408之頂面418。絕緣層410之材料可為無機材料、有機材料、或有機材料與無機材料所組成之複合材料。在一些實施例中,絕緣層410之材料為可壓縮性材料,例如高分子材料或具多孔性的材料等,以利後續轉印製程的進行。在模仁400上設置絕緣層410的目的同樣在於可避免後續 的電泳或介電泳製程期間,轉印材料因電場吸引到絕緣層410所在之處。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, after the mold core 400 is provided, the insulating layer 410 is further formed to cover the bottom surface 420 of the depressed portion 406 of the embossed pattern structure 404, and the insulating layer 410 is filled with the depressed portion. 406 and protrudes from the projection 408. That is, the top surface 422 of the insulating layer 410 is higher than the top surface 418 of the protrusion 408. The material of the insulating layer 410 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material composed of an organic material and an inorganic material. In some embodiments, the material of the insulating layer 410 is a compressible material, such as a polymer material or a porous material, to facilitate the subsequent transfer process. The purpose of providing the insulating layer 410 on the mold core 400 is also to avoid subsequent During the electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis process, the transfer material is attracted to the place where the insulating layer 410 is located due to the electric field.
接著,對模仁400進行電泳製程或介電泳製程,以使轉印材料吸附於壓印圖案結構404上,而於壓印圖案結構404上形成轉印材料層412。在本實施方式中,轉印材料層412之材料及材料之結構類型的選擇均與上述第一實施方式中的轉印材料層110相同,電泳製程或介電泳製程的進行方式的選擇也與上述第一實施方式之電泳製程或介電泳製程相同,故於此不再贅述。 Next, the mold core 400 is subjected to an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process to adsorb the transfer material onto the embossed pattern structure 404, and a transfer material layer 412 is formed on the embossed pattern structure 404. In the present embodiment, the material type and the material type of the transfer material layer 412 are selected in the same manner as the transfer material layer 110 in the first embodiment, and the selection of the electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process is also performed. The electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process of the first embodiment is the same, and thus will not be described herein.
在本實施方式中,如第4B圖所示,模仁400為導電模仁,且絕緣層410之頂面422高於壓印圖案結構404之凸出部408之頂面418。因此,轉印材料在電泳或介電泳製程期間受到絕緣層410的阻隔與限制,僅黏附在凸出部408之頂面418上,進而使得轉印材料層412僅形成在凸出部408之頂面418。藉此絕緣層410的設計,可更加精確地控制欲轉印至基板414之轉印材料層412的尺寸,進而可提升轉印之圖案結構的解析度。此外,可藉由調整絕緣層410之厚度,來控制轉印之圖案結構的厚度。而且,由於轉印材料並不會吸附在絕緣層410上,因此可使轉印在基板414上的圖案結構層不具有殘留層。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, the mold core 400 is a conductive mold, and the top surface 422 of the insulating layer 410 is higher than the top surface 418 of the protrusion 408 of the embossed pattern structure 404. Therefore, the transfer material is blocked and restricted by the insulating layer 410 during the electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis process, and adheres only to the top surface 418 of the protrusion 408, so that the transfer material layer 412 is formed only at the top of the protrusion 408. Face 418. Thereby, the design of the insulating layer 410 can more precisely control the size of the transfer material layer 412 to be transferred to the substrate 414, thereby improving the resolution of the transferred pattern structure. Further, the thickness of the transferred pattern structure can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the insulating layer 410. Moreover, since the transfer material is not adsorbed on the insulating layer 410, the pattern structure layer transferred onto the substrate 414 can be made to have no residual layer.
在一些實施例中,如第4B圖所示,在電泳或介電泳製程中,可使轉印材料層412略高於絕緣層410之頂面422,即使轉印材料層412略為突出絕緣層410。在這樣的實施例中,如第4C圖所示,利用模仁400進行壓印步驟, 而將模仁400之壓印圖案結構404與基板414之表面416對壓時,由於轉印材料層412略為突出於絕緣層410,因此凸出部408之頂面418上的轉印材料層412可順利和基板414之表面416接合。 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4B, in the electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis process, the transfer material layer 412 may be slightly higher than the top surface 422 of the insulating layer 410 even if the transfer material layer 412 slightly protrudes from the insulating layer 410. . In such an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4C, the stamping step is performed using the mold core 400, When the embossed pattern 404 of the mold core 400 is pressed against the surface 416 of the substrate 414, since the transfer material layer 412 slightly protrudes from the insulating layer 410, the transfer material layer 412 on the top surface 418 of the protrusion 408. The surface 416 of the substrate 414 can be smoothly joined.
在另一些實施例中,絕緣層410係由可壓縮性材料所組成,轉印材料層412可低於絕緣層410之頂面422、或與絕緣層410之頂面422等高。在這樣的實施例中,進行壓印製程時,可透過壓迫絕緣層410來使絕緣層410變形,藉此可使轉印材料層410順利接觸到基板414之表面416。 In other embodiments, the insulating layer 410 is comprised of a compressible material, and the transfer material layer 412 can be lower than the top surface 422 of the insulating layer 410 or the top surface 422 of the insulating layer 410. In such an embodiment, the insulating layer 410 can be deformed by compressing the insulating layer 410 during the imprinting process, whereby the transfer material layer 410 can be smoothly contacted to the surface 416 of the substrate 414.
基板414之材料可為無機物、有機物、或無機物與有機物混合之複合材料。此外,基板414可由可撓曲材質或不可撓曲之材質所構成。在一些實施例中,可對基板414之表面416額外進行表面處理,以增進基板414之表面416對轉印材料層412之吸引力,藉此進一步提升轉印的良率。 The material of the substrate 414 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material in which an inorganic substance and an organic substance are mixed. Further, the substrate 414 may be constructed of a flexible material or a material that is inflexible. In some embodiments, the surface 416 of the substrate 414 may be additionally surface treated to enhance the attractiveness of the surface 416 of the substrate 414 to the transfer material layer 412, thereby further enhancing the yield of the transfer.
隨後,將模仁400與基板414分開。此時,由於整個轉印材料層412均與基板414之表面416接合,因此轉印材料層412可順利脫離模仁400,而全部轉印到基板414之表面416上,如第4D圖所示。至此,即已大致完成由轉印材料層412構成之圖案結構的製作。在本實施方式中,同樣可如同上述第一實施方式般,於壓印步驟前或於壓印步驟後,對模仁400之壓印圖案結構404上的轉印材料層412進行緊實化處理,以使轉印材料層412的結構更為緊密與固實,並提升轉印材料層412之導電性。本實施方式之緊實化處理可採用之方式同於第一實施方式,故於此不再 贅述。 Subsequently, the mold core 400 is separated from the substrate 414. At this time, since the entire transfer material layer 412 is bonded to the surface 416 of the substrate 414, the transfer material layer 412 can be smoothly separated from the mold core 400 and transferred to the surface 416 of the substrate 414 as shown in FIG. 4D. . Thus far, the fabrication of the pattern structure composed of the transfer material layer 412 has been substantially completed. In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, the transfer material layer 412 on the embossed pattern structure 404 of the mold core 400 may be compacted before the embossing step or after the embossing step. In order to make the structure of the transfer material layer 412 more compact and solid, and to improve the conductivity of the transfer material layer 412. The compaction process of this embodiment can be used in the same manner as the first embodiment, so Narration.
請參照第5A圖至第5D圖,其係繪示依照本發明之第五實施方式的一種圖案結構之製程剖面圖。在本實施方式中,製作圖案結構時,可先提供壓印用之模仁500。模仁500之一側502設有壓印圖案結構504。在一些實施例中,如第5A圖所示,壓印圖案結構504包含多個交錯設置之凸出部508與多個凹陷部506。在另一些實施例中,壓印圖案結構504可包含至少一個凸出部508與至少一凹陷部506。本實施方式係用以製作具壓印圖案結構504之凹陷部506圖案的圖案結構。 Referring to FIGS. 5A to 5D, there are shown process cross-sectional views of a pattern structure in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, when the pattern structure is formed, the mold core 500 for imprinting may be provided first. One side 502 of the mold core 500 is provided with an embossed pattern structure 504. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5A, the embossed pattern structure 504 includes a plurality of staggered projections 508 and a plurality of recesses 506. In other embodiments, the embossed pattern structure 504 can include at least one protrusion 508 and at least one recess 506. This embodiment is used to fabricate a pattern structure having a pattern of recesses 506 of the embossed pattern structure 504.
在本實施方式中,模仁500之材料的選擇、以及導電層的材料與設置原則,均與上述第一實施方式中的模仁100相同,故於此不再贅述。在一些示範例子中,可選擇性地在模仁500之壓印圖案結構504的表面,特別是欲轉印材料的表面,即壓印圖案結構504之凹陷部506的底面520與側面524,進行抗沾黏處理或是塗布石墨片等表面改質處理,或是直接採用導電類鑽碳、導電鑽石或石墨等抗沾黏材料來製作模仁500,以使轉印材料較容易脫離模仁500並轉印在基板514(請先參照第5C圖)上。 In the present embodiment, the selection of the material of the mold core 500 and the material and setting principle of the conductive layer are the same as those of the mold core 100 in the first embodiment described above, and thus will not be described herein. In some exemplary embodiments, the surface of the embossed pattern structure 504 of the mold core 500, particularly the surface of the material to be transferred, that is, the bottom surface 520 and the side surface 524 of the recess 506 of the embossed pattern structure 504 may be selectively performed. Anti-adhesive treatment or surface modification of coated graphite sheets, or direct use of conductive diamond-like carbon, conductive diamond or graphite and other anti-adhesive materials to make mold 500, so that the transfer material is easier to get rid of the mold core 500 And transferred to the substrate 514 (please refer to Figure 5C first).
在本實施方式中,如第5A圖所示,於提供模仁500後,更形成絕緣層510覆蓋在壓印圖案結構504之凸出部508的頂面518上。絕緣層510之材料可為無機材料、有機材料、或有機材料與無機材料所組成之複合材料。在一些實施例中,絕緣層510之材料為可壓縮性材料,例如高分 子材料或具多孔性的材料等,以利後續轉印製程的進行。在模仁500上設置絕緣層510的目的同樣在於可避免後續的電泳或介電泳製程期間,轉印材料因電場吸引到絕緣層510所在之處。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, after the mold core 500 is provided, the insulating layer 510 is further formed to cover the top surface 518 of the protruding portion 508 of the embossed pattern structure 504. The material of the insulating layer 510 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material composed of an organic material and an inorganic material. In some embodiments, the material of the insulating layer 510 is a compressible material, such as a high score. Sub-materials or materials with porosity, etc., in order to facilitate the subsequent transfer process. The purpose of providing the insulating layer 510 on the mold core 500 is also to prevent the transfer material from being attracted to the insulating layer 510 by the electric field during subsequent electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis processes.
接著,對模仁500進行電泳製程或介電泳製程,以使轉印材料吸附於壓印圖案結構504上,而於壓印圖案結構504上形成轉印材料層512。在本實施方式中,轉印材料層512之材料及材料之結構類型的選擇均與上述第一實施方式中的轉印材料層110相同,電泳製程或介電泳製程的進行方式的選擇也與上述第一實施方式之電泳製程或介電泳製程相同,故於此不再贅述。 Next, the mold core 500 is subjected to an electrophoresis process or a dielectrophoresis process to adsorb the transfer material onto the embossed pattern structure 504, and a transfer material layer 512 is formed on the embossed pattern structure 504. In the present embodiment, the selection of the material type and the material type of the transfer material layer 512 are the same as those of the transfer material layer 110 in the first embodiment, and the selection of the electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process is also performed. The electrophoresis process or the dielectrophoresis process of the first embodiment is the same, and thus will not be described herein.
在本實施方式中,如第5B圖所示,模仁500為導電模仁,且絕緣層510僅覆蓋在壓印圖案結構504之凸出部508之頂面518上。因此,轉印材料在電泳或介電泳製程期間受到絕緣層510的阻隔與限制,而填設於凹陷部506內,進而使所形成之轉印材料層512僅位於凹陷部506與絕緣層510之開口內。藉此絕緣層510的設計,可更精確地控制欲轉印至基板514之轉印材料層512的尺寸,進而可提升轉印之圖案結構的解析度。此外,可藉由調整絕緣層510之厚度與凹陷部506之深度,來控制轉印之圖案結構的厚度。而且,由於轉印材料並不會吸附在絕緣層510上,因此可使轉印在基板514上的圖案結構層不具有殘留層。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, the mold core 500 is a conductive mold, and the insulating layer 510 covers only the top surface 518 of the projection 508 of the embossed pattern structure 504. Therefore, the transfer material is blocked and restricted by the insulating layer 510 during the electrophoresis or dielectrophoresis process, and is filled in the recess 506, so that the formed transfer material layer 512 is only located in the recess 506 and the insulating layer 510. Inside the opening. Thereby, the design of the insulating layer 510 can more precisely control the size of the transfer material layer 512 to be transferred to the substrate 514, thereby improving the resolution of the transferred pattern structure. Further, the thickness of the transferred pattern structure can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the insulating layer 510 and the depth of the depressed portion 506. Moreover, since the transfer material is not adsorbed on the insulating layer 510, the pattern structure layer transferred onto the substrate 514 can be prevented from having a residual layer.
在一些實施例中,絕緣層510係由可壓縮性材料所 組成,且轉印材料層512可低於絕緣層510之頂面522、或與絕緣層510之頂面522等高。在這樣的實施例中,如第5C圖所示,利用模仁500進行壓印製程時,可透過壓迫絕緣層510來使絕緣層510變形,藉此可使轉印材料層512順利接觸到基板514之表面516。 In some embodiments, the insulating layer 510 is made of a compressible material. The composition, and the transfer material layer 512 may be lower than the top surface 522 of the insulating layer 510 or the top surface 522 of the insulating layer 510. In such an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the imprinting process is performed by the mold core 500, the insulating layer 510 can be deformed by compressing the insulating layer 510, whereby the transfer material layer 512 can be smoothly contacted to the substrate. Surface 516 of 514.
在另一些實施例中,轉印材料層512可略高於絕緣層510之頂面522,即使轉印材料層512略為突出絕緣層510。在這樣的實施例中,將模仁500之壓印圖案結構504與基板514之表面516對壓時,由於轉印材料層512略為突出於絕緣層510,因此凹陷部506中之轉印材料層512可順利和基板514之表面516接合。 In other embodiments, the transfer material layer 512 can be slightly above the top surface 522 of the insulating layer 510 even though the transfer material layer 512 slightly protrudes from the insulating layer 510. In such an embodiment, when the embossed pattern structure 504 of the mold core 500 is pressed against the surface 516 of the substrate 514, since the transfer material layer 512 protrudes slightly from the insulating layer 510, the transfer material layer in the depressed portion 506 512 can smoothly engage the surface 516 of the substrate 514.
基板514之材料可為無機物、有機物、或無機物與有機物混合之複合材料。此外,基板514可由可撓曲材質或不可撓曲之材質所構成。在一些實施例中,可對基板514之表面516額外進行表面處理,以增進基板514之表面516對轉印材料層512之吸引力,藉此進一步提升轉印的良率。 The material of the substrate 514 may be an inorganic material, an organic material, or a composite material in which an inorganic substance and an organic substance are mixed. Further, the substrate 514 may be composed of a flexible material or a material that is inflexible.
