Submicron patterning of 1 in. diameter curved Surfaces with a 46 mm radius of curvature has been demonstrated with step and flash imprint lithography (SLIL) using templates patterned by ion beam proximity printing (IBP). Concave and convex spherical quartz templates were coated with 700-nm-thick poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and patterned by step-and-repeat IBP. The developed resist features were etched into the quartz template and the remaining PMMA stripped. During SFIL, a low viscosity, photopolymerizable formulation containing organosilicon precursors was introduced into the gap between the etched template and a substrate coated with an organic transfer layer and exposed to ultraviolet illumination. The smallest features on the templates were faithfully replicated in the silylated layer.
