At present, the method for manufacturing a nano-imprint template with large area mainly comprises splicing a plurality of nano-imprint templates with small area to form the splicing nano-imprint template with large area. However, the splicing of the nano-imprint templates with small area cannot achieve a seamless splicing, so that splicing seams usually exist in the splicing nano-imprint template with large area, and the splicing seams are generally micrometer-sized.

The splicing nano-imprint template, due to the existence of the splicing seams, on the one hand, will reduce the quality of the photoelectric devices manufactured by the splicing nano-imprint template, and on the other hand, is easy to take away a portion of imprint adhesive when the splicing nano-imprint template is demoulded, thus causing demoulding problems.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a repair method of a splicing seam of a splicing nano-imprint template, referring to FIG. 1, the repair method includes the following steps.

S1: as shown in FIG. 2, providing a splicing nano-imprint plate. The splicing nano-imprint plate includes a base substrate 1 and a plurality of splicing modules 21 that are positioned on the base substrate 1, a splicing seam C is provided between adjacent spicing modules 21, and each of the splicing modules 21 includes a unit pattern A. It should be noted that the pattern of each of the splicing modules 21 in the embodiments of the present disclosure is composed of the unit pattern A. Taking the splicing modules 21 shown in FIG. 2 as an example, each of the splicing modules 21 includes a plurality of repeated unit patterns A. The unit pattern A described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is characterized by, for example, the following parameters: a height of a protrusion, a depth of a groove, a distance between adjacent protrusions, distance between adjacent grooves, etc.

S2: as shown in FIG. 3, forming a repair adhesive layer G at least at the splicing seam C.

S3: as shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, performing a patterning process on the repair adhesive layer G to form a repair module 22. The repair module 22 includes the unit pattern A.

According to the embodiments of the disclosure, the repair adhesive layer is formed at the splicing seam, the patterning process is performed on the repair adhesive layer to form the repair module 22, and the repair module 22 and each of the splicing modules 21 include the unit pattern A, so that the splicing seam of the splicing nano-imprint template is repaired, and the splicing nano-imprint template without the seams can be manufactured. The seamless splicing nano-imprint template not only helps to improve the quality of photoelectric devices, but also solves the demoulding problem caused by the splicing seams.

It should be noted that the total number of the splicing modules 21 included in the splicing nano-imprint template may be flexibly selected according to actual requirements. For example, the splicing nano-imprint template includes ten of the splice modules 21.

For example, along an arrangement direction of the plurality of splicing modules 21, a size of each of the splicing modules 21 is larger than a size of the splicing seam C. For example, along the arrangement direction of the plurality of splicing modules 21, the size of the splicing seam C is on the order of micrometers, and the size of each of the splicing modules 21 is on the order of millimeters. In other words, the size of each of the splicing modules 21 is about 1000 times as large as the size of the splicing seam C.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, after completing the above repair method, the edge of one of the splicing modules 21 close to the repair module 22 is in direct contact with the edge of the repair module 22 close to the one of the splicing modules 21, thus obtaining the seamless splicing nano-imprint template.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, each of the splicing modules 21 includes a plurality of the unit patterns A that are arranged according to a period, and the repair module 22 includes a plurality of the unit patterns A that are arranged according to the period as well. That is, the period of arrangement of the plurality of unit patterns A in the repair module 22 is the same as the period of arrangement of the plurality of unit patterns A in each of the splicing modules 21.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, at an interface where the repair module 22 and one of the splicing modules 21 contact with each other, the period is continuous. Further, for example, each of the unit patterns A includes a groove A1 and a protrusion A2. The edge of the one of the splicing modules 21 close to the repair module 22 is provided with the groove A1, and the edge of the repair module 22 close to the one of the splicing modules 21 is provided with the protrusion A2. Or, the edge of the one of the splicing modules 21 close to the repair module 22 is provided with the protrusion A2, and the edge of the repair module 22 close to the one of the splicing modules 21 is provided with the groove A1.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, at the interface where the repair module 22 and one of the splicing modules 21 contact with each other, the period is discontinuous. Because the size of the splice seam C is very small, generally on the order of micrometers, even if the period is discontinuous at the interface where the repair module 22 and one of the splicing modules 21 contact with each other, the normal usage of the splicing nano-imprint template will not be affected. Because the period is discontinuous at the interface where the repair module 22 and one of the splicing modules 21 contact with each other, the difficulty of forming the repair module 22 is greatly reduced, and the repair method of the splicing seam of the splicing nano-imprint template is simplified. For example, each of the unit patterns A comprises the groove A1 and the protrusion A2, the edge of the one of the splicing modules 21 close to the repair module 22 is provided with the groove A1, and the edge of the repair module 22 close to the one of the splicing modules 21 is provided with the groove A1. Or, the edge of the one of the splicing modules 21 close to the repair module 22 is provided with the protrusion A2, and the edge of the repair module 22 close to the one of the splicing modules 21 is provided with the protrusion A2.

For example, the repair adhesive layer G in the embodiments of the present disclosure is an imprint adhesive layer, referring to FIG. 5, in the repair method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, step S2 includes the following steps.

S201: as shown in FIG. 6, forming an anti-sticking layer F on the splicing modules 21. For example, the anti-sticking layer F is formed on the splicing modules 21 by using a printing method; the anti-sticking layer F is formed on the splicing modules 21 by using the printing method in order to prevent the material of the anti-sticking layer F from covering the splicing seam C. For example, the distance between the edge of the anti-sticking layer F close to the splicing seam C and the splicing seam C is less than 1 micrometer. That is, the distance between the edge of the anti-sticking layer F close to the splicing seam C and the edge of one of the splicing modules 21 close to the splicing seam C is less than 1 micrometer, so that the anti-sticking layer F covers the splicing modules 21 as much as possible to facilitate that the subsequent imprint adhesive layer G1 is formed at the splicing seam C and not at the splicing modules 21. For example, the material of the anti-sticking layer F includes fluorine-containing silane-based compounds.

For example, the edge of the anti-sticking layer F close to the splicing seam C is aligned with the edge of one of the splicing modules 21 close to the splicing seam C. That is, the distance between the edge of the anti-sticking layer F close to the splicing seam C and the splicing seam C is 0 micrometer. Under this case, the anti-sticking layer F covers the entirety of the splicing modules 21 and does not cover the splicing seam C, so that the subsequent imprint adhesive layer G1 is conveniently formed only at the splicing seam C.

S202: as shown in FIG. 7, forming the imprint adhesive layer G1 at the splicing seam C by using a spraying method, a printing method, or a spin coating method. Because the anti-sticking layer F is formed on the splicing modules 21 and the imprint adhesive cannot adhere to the anti-sticking layer F, therefore, whether the spraying method, the printing method, or the spin coating method is used during forming the imprint adhesive layer G1, the imprint adhesive layer G1 is only formed at the splicing seam C. The imprint adhesive layer G1 is an example of the repair adhesive layer G as described above.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by forming the anti-sticking layer F on the splicing modules 21, it can be ensured that the imprint adhesive layer G1 is only formed at the splicing seam C, which is conducive to flexibly selecting the method for forming the imprint adhesive layer G1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in the repair method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, step S3 includes the following steps.

S301: as shown in FIG. 9, imprinting the imprint adhesive layer G1 by using an imprint template M that comprises the unit pattern A. For example, the imprint template M is the imprint template for manufacturing the splicing modules 21.

For example, in the arrangement direction of the splicing modules 21, the size of the imprint template M is not smaller than the size of the splicing seam C.

S302: as shown in FIG. 10, performing a curing process on the imprint adhesive layer G1 by taking the edge of the imprint template M as a boundary. That is, the curing process is performed within a region of the imprint template M. For example, a UV curing or a thermal curing is used.

S303: as shown in FIG. 11, separating the imprint template M from the imprint adhesive layer G1 to form the repair module 22.

In the repair method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the nano-imprint method is used to repair the splicing seam C, so that the repair method is simple, and the splicing seam C is repaired without adding additional equipments and additional imprint templates.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in the case that there is a certain distance between the edge of the anti-adhesive layer F close the splicing seam C and the splicing seam C (for example, the distance is greater than 1 micrometer), that is, there is a certain distance between the edge of the anti-adhesive layer F close the splicing seam C and the edge of one of the slicing modules 21 close to the splicing seam C (for example, the distance is greater than 1 micrometer), the imprint adhesive layer G1 may be further formed in the region of the splicing modules 21 that is not covered by the anti-sticking layer F; therefore, the unit pattern A at the position where the imprinting adhesive layer G1 is formed on the splicing modules 21 (i.e., at the region B within the dashed circle in FIG. 12) has a segment difference from the unit pattern A of the splicing modules 21 except for the unit pattern at the region B. If such splicing nano-imprint template is applied to perform the imprinting process on the component to be imprinted, the influence of the segment difference on the imprint precision is acceptable, especially in the case that the component to be imprinted is provided with a flexible base substrate. Therefore, the segment difference has little influence on the imprint precision, and the segment difference is allowable to exist in the splicing nano-imprint template.

For example, the repair adhesive layer G in the embodiments of the present disclosure is a photoresist layer, referring to FIG. 13, in the repair method provided by the embodiments of the disclosure, step S3 includes the following steps.

S301′: as shown in FIG. 14, irradiating a portion of the photoresist layer G2 by using a femtosecond laser so that the photoresist layer G2 includes a cured portion and an uncured portion. For example, the wavelength range of the femtosecond laser is 700 nm-900 nm, further, for example, the wavelength of the femtosecond laser is 800 nm. Under this case, the femtosecond laser has a long wavelength, so that the femtosecond laser achieves a large irradiation depth into photoresist layer G2, which is beneficial to form the unit pattern A. for example, the femtosecond laser is controlled to irradiate the portion of the photoresist layer G2 by using a programming method, so that the photoresist layer G2 includes the cured portion and the uncured portion. The photoresist layer G2 is another example of the repair adhesive layer G as described above.

S302′: as shown in FIG. 15, removing the uncured portion of the photoresist layer G2 to form the repair module 22. For example, the material of the photoresist layer G2 includes a positive photoresist or a negative photoresist. In the case that the material of the photoresist layer G2 includes the positive photoresist, because the solubility of the positive photoresist in solvent increases under the irradiation of the femtosecond laser, the portion of the photoresist layer G2 requiring the irradiation of the femtosecond laser is the portion of the photoresist layer G2 requiring to be removed. In the case that the material of the photoresist layer G2 includes the negative photoresist, because the negative photoresist is solidified under the irradiation of the femtosecond laser, the portion of the photoresist layer G2 requiring the irradiation of the femtosecond laser is the portion of the photoresist layer G2 requiring to be remained.

The femtosecond laser method (that is, a two-photon polymerization method) adopted by the embodiments of the present disclosure is used to realize the patterning of the photoresist layer G2 at the splicing seam C without forming the anti-sticking layer, so that step S2, for example, comprises forming the photoresist layer G2 at the splicing seam C by a spraying method or a printing method.

The femtosecond laser method (that is, the two-photon polymerization method) adopted by the embodiments of the present disclosure is used to realize the patterning of the photoresist layer G2 at the splicing seam C. The light intensity of the femtosecond laser has a Gaussian distribution, and the dissolving or solidifying of photoresist layer G2 has a specific energy threshold. Although the light spot of the femtosecond laser is at a micrometer level after focusing of the femtosecond laser, the energy density in the edge region of the light spot is not enough to reach the threshold value required for dissolving or solidifying the photoresist layer. Only the energy density in the diameter range of tens of nanometers at the focal point of the light spot can reach the threshold value required for dissolving or solidifying the photoresist layer, so that the manufacturing precision can reach tens of nanometers, and the repair module 22 at the splicing seam C has high precision.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a manufacturing method of a splicing nano-imprint template, which include the repair method of the splicing seam of the splicing nano-imprint template described above according to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 16, the manufacturing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes the following steps.

B1: providing a base substrate. The base substrate includes a plurality of splicing regions and the splicing seam positioned between adjacent splicing regions.

B3: respectively fixing the plurality of splicing modules to the splicing regions of the base substrate to form the splicing nano-imprint plate.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sequence of step B1 and step B2 may be reversed, that is, the plurality of splicing modules are formed before providing the base substrate.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of splicing modules are fixed to the base substrate to form the splicing nano-imprint plate, and the splicing seam of the splicing nano-imprint plate is repaired, so that the beneficial effects of the repair method of the splicing seam of the splicing nano-imprint template as described above can be obtained, which will not be repeated here.

For example, the manufacturing method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes: as shown in FIG. 17, forming a seed layer 3.

The formation of the seed layer 3 is beneficial to form a metal nano-imprint template with patterns complementary to the patterns of the nano-imprint template by using the nano-imprint template according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the metal nano-imprint template has stable properties and wider application range.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a splicing nano-imprint template, as shown in FIG. 17, which includes the base substrate 1, a nano-imprint structure 2, and the seed layer 3.

The nano-imprint structure 2 is positioned on the base substrate 1, and includes the plurality of splicing modules 21 and the repair module 22 that is positioned between adjacent splicing modules 21. The repair module 22 and each of the splicing modules 21 both include the unit pattern A. For example, the material of the repair module 22 includes the imprint adhesive or the photoresist, and the photoresist is the positive photoresist or the negative photoresist. The seed layer 3 is provided on the side of the nano-imprint structure 2 away from the base substrate 1. For example, the material of the seed layer 3 includes relatively stable metals such as nickel, copper, etc.

According to the splicing nano-imprint template provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a position between adjacent splicing modules 21 is filled by the repair module 22, that is, the splicing seam C is filled by the repair module 22, so that the splicing nano-imprint template has no structural defects. Therefore, the splicing nano-imprint template can not only realize the advantages of large area and easy demoulding, but also the photoelectric devices manufactured by the splicing nano-imprint template provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure has better performance.
