The Applied Microstructures MVD 100 system deposits molecular films on surfaces. These films serve a wide range of purposes ranging from antistiction coatings of nanoimprint lithography stamps to protecting MEMS structures. At Danchip the MVD is essential for nanoimprint lithography.

The MVD coatings are created as self-assembled monolayers on a surface when a molecular vapor of chemials is present. These chemicals typically have a teflon-like tail consisting of -(CF<sub>2</sub>)<sub>x</sub>CF<sub>3</sub> and, in the other end, a reactive group -Si(Cl<sub>x</sub>)<sub>3-x</sub>.

In most cases the chlorine atoms in the end of an flourinated organosilane react with -OH groups of the surface to form a chemical bond under elimination of HCL.

The Molecular Vapor Deposition tool

The MVD is located in cleanroom A-1

The Applied Microstructures MVD 100 system deposits molecular films on surfaces. These films serve a wide range of purposes ranging from antistiction coatings of nanoimprint lithography stamps to protecting MEMS structures. At DTU Nanolab the MVD is an essential tool for nanoimprint lithography, where it is used to create antistiction coatings on the imprint stamps.
