Abstract
Advancements in Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality technology have increased the demand for methods of printing three-dimensional structures. In this contribution we will talk about these technology improvements applied to Surface Relief Gratings – considering photoresists and Nanoimprint layer materials for making a grating, as well as Gap Fill materials for adjusting the refractive index (RI). We will discuss in detail a developed positive tone, i-line photoresist formulation which has been developed for greyscale lithography. We will introduce a range of nanoimprint materials and show the developments of our Ink Jet Printable (IJP) low absorption, high RI gap fill formulations. These innovative formulations are made possible by utilizing a unique precursor and employing special process conditions for optical grating applications.
