Structured surface articles such as molds or sheeting are formed on a compound substrate including a machined substrate and a replicated substrate. In one embodiment, the structured surface is a cube corner element on a compound substrate. In another embodiment, the structured surface is a geometric structure that has a plurality of faces, where one face is located on the machined substrate and another face is located on the replicated substrate. In yet another embodiment, at least some of the faces include a compound face with a portion formed on the machined substrate and a portion formed on the replicated substrate. The method of making a structured surface article including a geometric structure having a plurality of faces includes forming an array of geometric structures in a first surface of a machined substrate; passivating selected locations of the first surface of the machined substrate; forming a replicated substrate of the machined substrate to form a compound substrate; forming an array of second geometric structures on a second surface opposite the first surface on the machined substrate; and removing selected portions from the second surface of the machined substrate.

Some embodiments of the invention provide methods that can create large area complex patterns for nanoimprint molds without or with very litter of the use of the charged beam or photon beam direct-writing of nanostructures. Some embodiments of the invention use (i) Fourier nanoimprint patterning (FNP), (ii) edge-guided nanopatterning (EGN), and (iii) nanostructure self-perfection, and their combinations.

A method of making an embossed micro-structure includes providing a transfer substrate, an emboss substrate, and an embossing stamp having one or more stamp structures. Transfer material is coated on the transfer substrate. The transfer material on the transfer substrate is contacted with the stamp structures to adhere transfer material to the stamp structures. A curable emboss layer is coated on the emboss substrate. The stamp structures and adhered transfer material are contacted to the curable emboss layer on the emboss substrate to emboss a micro-structure in the curable emboss layer and transfer the transfer material to the embossed micro-structure. The curable emboss layer is cured to form a cured emboss layer having embossed micro-structures corresponding to the stamp structures and having transfer material in the embossed micro-structures. The stamp structures is removed from the cured emboss layer, substantially leaving the transfer material in the micro-structure.

A method of forming a resist pattern of high aspect ratio excelling in etching resistance by the use of nanoimprint lithography. The method of forming a resist pattern by nanoimprint lithography comprises the steps of disposing organic layer (4) on support (1); providing resist layer (2) on the organic layer (4) with the use of chemical amplification type negative resist composition containing silsesquioxane resin (A); pressing light transmission allowing mold (3) with partial light shielding portion (5) against the resist layer (2) and thereafter carrying out exposure from the upside of the mold (3); and detaching the mold (3).

A pattern transferring apparatus is disclosed which can prevent damage to a transferred pattern and realize fast mold release regardless of the type of resist. The pattern transferring apparatus transfers a pattern formed on a mold to an object by bringing the mold into contact with the apparatus has a deformer which causes deformation in the mold for releasing the mold from the object. The apparatus transfers a pattern formed on a mold to a photo-curing resin by bringing the mold into contact with the photo-curing resin and applying light thereto to cure the photo-curing resin. The apparatus has an optical system which applies light at an irradiation light intensity to a non-transfer area other than a transfer area where the pattern is to be transferred in the photo-curing resin, the intensity being different from an irradiation light intensity of light applied to the transfer area.

An imprint apparatus of the present invention that molds and cures an imprint material on a substrate using a mold to form a pattern on the substrate. The imprint apparatus includes a supply unit configured to supply a gas into a gap between the imprint material on the substrate and the mold. The supply unit is configured to supply a mixed gas in which a permeable gas, which permeates at least one of the mold, the imprint material and the substrate, and a condensable gas, which is liquefied under a pressure generated by the molding, is mixed with each other.

Devices positioned between an energy source and an imprint lithography template may block exposure of energy to portions of polymerizable material dispensed on a substrate. Portions of the polymerizable material that are blocked from the energy may remain fluid, while the remaining polymerizable material is solidified.

Disclosed is a minor-surface sheet comprising transparent projections having an independent structure, and the minor-surface sheet has outstanding resistance to fingerprints even after formation by deep drawing and gives an appealing impression by imparting an impression of depth. The mirror-surface sheet according to the present invention, which has outstanding resistance to fingerprints and can impart an extreme impression of depth, comprises: a transparent film layer; a printed layer which is formed on the lower part of the transparent film layer; and a transparent projection layer which comprises a plurality of transparent projections that are attached, spaced apart from each other on the upper part, of the transparent film layer.
摘要:
A mold equipped with a substrate having a fine pattern of protrusions and recesses and a mold release layer formed along the pattern of protrusions and recesses on the surface thereof is employed to press resist coated on a substrate, to form a resist pattern, to which the pattern of protrusions and recesses is transferred. The thickness of the mold release layer and the pressing force with which the mold is pressed against the resist are controlled such that the line width of the resist pattern becomes a desired value. The width of the lines of the resist pattern is controlled by this configuration.
