Abstract

We propose the new fabrication method of a 70 nm half-pitch wire grid polarizer with high performance using magnetic soft mold. The device is a form of aluminium gratings on a PET(Polyethylene phthalate) substrate whose size of $3cm{\times}3cm$ is compatible with a TFT_LCD(Tin Flat Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) panel. A magnetic soft mold with a pitch of 70 nm is fabricated using two-step replication method. As a result, we get a NWGP pattern which has 70.39 nm line width, 64.76 nm depth, 140.78 nm pitch, on substrate. The maximum and minimum transmittances of the NWGP at 800 nm are 75% and 10%, respectively. This work demonstrates a unique cost-effective solution for nanopatterning requirements in consumer electronics components.

본 연구에서는 자기 소프트 몰드를 이용하여 피치 143.59 nm의 고 성능 NWGP(Nano Wire Grid Polarizer) 필름의 새로운 제조 방법을 제안하였다. 제작된 편광필름은 $6cm{\times}6cm$의 PET기판위에 알루미늄 격자 구조를 가지고 있으며, 이는 TFT-LCD(Thin Flat Transistor Liquid Crystal Display)에 응용 가능할 것으로 보인다. 자기 소프트 몰드는 너비 70.39 nm의 규격으로 제작되었으며, 이를 이용하여 2단계의 복제과정을 거쳐 제작되어진다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서는 기판위에 75.68 nm 선폭과 64.76 nm의 높이 143.59 nm pitch를 가지는 격자구조의 NWGP 패턴을 제작하였다. 또한, 이는 800 nm 파장 영역 대에서 75%의 최대 투과율과 10%의 최소 투과율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 공정을 통해 독창적인 저 비용의 나노패터닝 기술로 디스플레이 산업에서 적용되어 질 것으로 보여진다.
