Lithography, the fundamental fabrication process of semiconductor devices, has been playing a critical role in micro-nanofabrication technologies and manufacturing of Integrated Circuits (IC). Traditional optical lithography including contact and project photolithography has contributed significantly to the semiconductor device advancements. Currently, maintaining the rapid pace of half-pitch reduction requires overcoming the challenge of improving and extending the incumbent optical projection lithography technology while simultaneously developing alternative, next generation lithography (NGL) technologies to be used when optical projection lithography is no longer more economical than the alternatives. Furthermore, NIL is also one of the most promising low-cost, high-throughput technologies for manufacturing nanostructures as this highly technical book will give new insight to.

Patterning or lithography is at the core of modern science and technology and cuts across all disciplines. With the emergence of nanotechnology, conventional methods based on electron beam lithography and extreme ultraviolet photolithography have become prohibitively expensive. As a result, a number of simple and unconventional methods have been introduced, beginning first with research demonstrations in the mid 1990s. This book focuses on these unconventional patterning techniques and their applications to optics, organic devices, electronic devices, biological devices, and fluidics.
