OVERVIEW:

A new approach to fabricating printed circuits named Imprint Patterning^TM will be described. In conventional printed circuit fabrication two major process elements -- photolithography and laser drilling -- contribute significantly to performance constraints and cost. Imprint Patterning replaces these two steps with a single cost-effective microreplication operation that results in huge cost and performance advantages. These same techniques are used today to fabricate CDs and DVDs with high quality and low cost. And they are on the semiconductor technology roadmap for the sub-40 nm nodes. Dimensional Imprint Technology, Inc. is commercializing Imprint Patterning for the printed circuit industry.
