A method for manufacturing an imprint stamper includes the steps of forming a first electroformed layer on a concavo-convex pattern of an original disk with the pattern, peeling off the first electroformed layer to provide a first stamper, forming a second electroformed layer on a concavo-convex pattern of the first stamper, peeling off the second electroformed layer to provide a second stamper, forming a third electroformed layer on a concavo-convex pattern of the second stamper, and peeling off the third electroformed layer to provide a third stamper. In addition, a conductive film is formed at least on one of a bottom of the concave portion and a top surface of the convex portion of the concavo-convex pattern at least in one of the first stamper and the second stamper.

A method for manufacturing a duplicating stamper is provided. The method includes the steps of forming a metal film on a stamper, the metal film having an apertural area in a central area of the stamper, lifting up an innermost circular edge of the metal film in order to detach the metal film from the innermost circular edge to the outermost circular edge, and detaching the metal film to provide another stamper. Alternatively, for detaching the metal film, a gas is blown into the apertural area with lifting up the innermost circular edge of the metal film.
