Abstract:
A pattern formation method includes a first step of forming a film having a flat surface on an uneven structure including a concave portion exhibiting liquid repellency and a convex portion exhibiting lyophilic properties so as to cover the concave portion and the convex portion; and a second step of forming a pattern by drying the film.
Abstract:
A forward osmosis apparatus includes a diluting means for bringing a feed solution and a draw solution containing a cation source and an anion source in an ionized state into contact through a semi-permeable membrane and diluting the draw solution with water separated from the feed solution by means of the semi-permeable membrane; a separating means for separating the diluted draw solution into the cation source and anion source and into water; and a dissolving means, returning the separated cation source and the separated anion source to, and dissolving the cation source and anion source in, the draw solution that has been diluted. The molecular weight of the cation source in an uncharged state is 31 or greater and the Henry's law constant of each of the anion source and cation source is 1.0×104 (Pa/mol·fraction) or greater in a standard state.

Abstract:
A pattern formation method for forming a micropattern includes a first step of causing a first pattern-formable area at which a first pattern is to be formed on a liquid-repellent, first film that is formed on a substrate and that has a lyophilic/lyophobic variable function to be lyophilic and to reduce in thickness; a second step of forming a second film having a flat surface on the first film; and a third step of forming the first pattern at the first pattern-formable area by drying the second film.
