A nano-molding process including an imprint process that replicates features sizes less than 7 nanometers. The nano-molding process produces a line edge roughness of the replicated features that is less than 2 nanometers. The nano-molding process including the steps of: a) forming a first substrate having nano-scale features formed thereon, b) casting at least one polymer against the substrate, c) curing the at least one polymer forming a mold, d) removing the mold from the first substrate, e) providing a second substrate having a molding material applied thereon, f) pressing the mold against the second substrate allowing the molding material to conform to a shape of the mold, g) curing the molding material, and h) removing the mold from the second substrate having the cured molding material revealing a replica of the first substrate.
