Abstract
For nanoimprint lithography (NIL), computational technologies are still being developed. Only a few simulators are applicable to the nanoimprint process, and these simulators are desired by device manufacturers as part of their everyday toolbox. In this paper, we introduce a new NIL process simulator which simulates the whole imprinting process, and evaluates the quality of the resulting resist film. To overcome the scale difference of each component of the system, which makes it difficult to calculate the process with conventional fluid structure interaction simulators, our simulator utilizes analytically integrated expressions which reduce the dimensions of the calculation region.
