The surface property of fluorinated diamond-like carbon (F-DLC) thin film, which is expected to be a new antisticking layer of nanoimprint mold, was evaluated with reference to the commercial diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film formed by radio-frequency (RF) plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and the fluorinated self-assembled monolayer (SAM). From the measurement of X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), the surface of the F-DLC thin film was found to be overspread with hydrophobic CFx components. In addition, the durability of the F-DLC thin film was evaluated by the contact angle measurement of a water drop against repeating times of the thermal imprint process. After over 100 times of imprinting, the contact angles of the F-DLC thin film were almost kept constant with the initial value and a fine replicated pattern was obtained. From these results, the F-DLC thin film was found to be suitable as a novel antisticking layer of the thermal nanoimprint mold.
