We have finished the construction of an automated tool for step and flash imprint lithography. The tool was constructed to allow defect studies by making multiple imprints on a 200 mm wafer. The imprint templates for this study were treated with a low surface energy, self-assembled monolayer to ensure selective release at the template-etch barrier interface. This surface treatment is very durable and survives repeated imprints and multiple aggressive physical and chemical cleanings. The imprint and release forces were measured for a number of successive imprints, and did not change significantly. The process appears to be "self-cleaning." Contamination on the template is entrained in the polymerizing liquid, and the number of defects is reduced with repeated imprints.
