Abstract: Durable seamless replication tools are disclosed for replication of seamless relief patterns in desired media, for example in optical recording or data storage media. Methods of making such durable replication tools are disclosed, including preparing a recording substrate on the inner surface of a support cylinder, recording and developing a relief pattern in the substrate, creating a durable negative relief replica of the pattern, extracting the resulting durable tool sleeve from a processing cell, and mounting the tool sleeve on a mounting fixture. Apparatus are disclosed for fabricating such seamless replication tools, including systems for recording a desired relief pattern on a photosensitive layer on an inner surface of a support cylinder. Also disclosed are electrodeposition cells for forming a durable tool sleeve having a desired relief pattern. The replication tool relief features may have critical dimensions down to the micron and nanometer regime.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed by which patterns of various materials can be formed on flexible substrates by a continuous roll-to-roll manufacturing process. The patterns may include metallic, transparent conductive, or non-metallic elements with lateral dimensions including in the range from below 100 nanometers to millimeters and with thickness dimensions including the range from tens of Angstroms to greater than 10,000 Angstroms. The substrate may be any material capable of sufficient flexibility for compatibility with roll-based processing equipment, including polymeric films, metallic foils, and thin glass, with polymeric films representing a particularly broad field of application. Methods may include the continuous roll-to-roll formation of a temporary polymeric structure with selected areas open to the underlying substrate, the continuous addition or subtraction of constituent materials, and the continuous removal, where necessary, of the polymeric structure and any excess material.

Abstract: Techniques, methods, systems, and apparatus are disclosed that are useful for creating addressable three-dimensional elements formed on a flexible substrate using continuous roll-to-roll fabrication methods. An array of conductive elements can be formed on a first flexible substrate layer, over which is disposed a second polymer layer containing a three-dimensional micro-scale relief pattern. The second layer can be formed in registration with the underlying electrode pattern. The lowest areas of the micropattern can be etched away, in order to expose the underlying electrode elements. The 3D micropattern can include a volumetric structure capable of being filled with various materials, where the contents of the 3D structure may be further processed by chemical, electrochemical, or physical treatment. The 3D structure may consist of elements in the general form of microvessels disposed in a periodic or non-periodic array.
