ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for microstructuring electronic components, which yields high resolutions (≦200 nm) at a good aspect ratio while being significantly less expensive than photolithographic methods. The inventive method comprises the following steps: i) a planar unhardened sol film of a nanocomposite composition according to claim1is produced; ii) a target substrate consisting of a bottom coat (b) and a support (c) is produced; iii) sol film material obtained in step i) is applied to the bottom coat (b) obtained in step ii) by means of a microstructured transfer embossing stamp; iv) the applied sol film material is hardened; v) the transfer embossing stamp is separated, whereby an embossed microstructure is obtained as a top coat (a). The method for producing a microstructured semiconductor material comprises the following additional steps: vi) the remaining layer of the nanocomposite sol film is plasma etched, preferably with CHF3/O2plasma; vii) the bottom coat is plasma etched, preferably with O2plasma; viii) the semiconductor material is etched or the semiconductor material is doped in the etched areas.
