In this article we examine the use of two-level hybrid-material stamps and nanoimprint lithography (NIL) of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) on glass substrates. A silicon/SU8 stamp manufacturing process has been developed, in order to combine nanometer and micrometer structures, thus avoiding complex deep etching processes. The stamp has been test printed in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to demonstrate functionality. We describe polymer flow problems for imprinting large structures and identify optimized parameters, in accordance with previously published findings. The use of PDMS as imprint polymer was examined. Imprinting works well, however, large recovery after separation shrinks the micrometer channels substantially and renders the nanochannels useless. Glass substrates in combination with silicon stamps were used, evaluated and showed to work well at low temperature.
