Stamp fabrication for nanoimprinting can be significantly simplified, when specialized crosslinking polymers are applied to pattern definition. The polymer patterns can be used as stamps themselves. Two possibilities are reported: (1) An e-beam sensitive resist was developed, which enables the fabrication of polymer-on-silicon stamps. Patterns with a feature size of 70 nm could be created. (2) Full plastic stamps were obtained by a casting-moulding technique, which enable pattern transfer from any conventional mould. The quality of the two stamp variants were proved by imprinting experiments.
