A new UV‐curable liquid resist based on cationic polymerization of silicone epoxies has been developed for UV‐assisted nanoimprint lithography. Uniform films with thicknesses ranging from below 50 nm to over 1 μm can be easily spin‐coated using a suitable undercoating layer on a substrate. Patterns with feature sizes ranging from tens of micrometers to 20 nm (see Figure) are imprinted at room temperature with a pressure of less than 0.1 MPa.
