Nanoscale pattern transfer technology using molds is a rapidly advancing
area and one that has seen much recent attention due to its potential
for use in nanotechnology industries and applications. However, because
of these rapid advances, it can be difficult to keep up with the
technological trends and the latest cutting-edge methods. In order to
fully understand these pioneering technologies, a comprehensive
understanding of the basic science and an overview of the techniques are
required.
