Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, molds with nanoscale micro-concave-convex patterns on the surface are very expensive because pattern formation takes time.
Therefore, it is difficult to realize the enlargement (enlargement of area) of a mold having a nanoscale fine concave-convex pattern on the surface.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0027] Such as figure 1 As shown, the step-and-repeat imprint mold 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a transparent base material 4; 13. A light-shielding member 5 provided between the transparent substrate 4 and the transparent resin layer 6 so as to overlap the concave-convex pattern 3 at the end of the pattern region 13 .

[0028] Hereinafter, each constituent element will be described in detail.

[0029] 1. Configuration of mold 2 for imprinting

[0030] (1) Transparent substrate 4

[0031] The transparent substrate 4 is a substrate formed of a transparent material such as a resin substrate, a quartz substrate, or a silicone substrate. For the formation of a flexible resin mold, a resin base material is preferred, specifically, for example, selected from polyethylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyester, polyolefin, polyimide, polysulfone , polyethersulfone, cyclic polyolefin, and polyethylene naphthalate.

[0032] (2) Transparen...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0057] use Figure 4 The step-and-repeat imprint mold 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0058] In the first embodiment, the light shielding member 5 is provided so as to overlap the pattern region 13 only at the end of the pattern region 13, but in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the light shielding member 5 is also provided at a location other than the end of the pattern area 13 . According to such a composition, as Figure 4 As shown, the area covered by the light-shielding member 5 arranged at the end of the pattern area 13 becomes the end portion light-shielding area S1, and the area covered by the light-shielding member 5 arranged at other than the end of the pattern area 13 becomes the non-end portion light-shielding area S2. , and the remaining area becomes the transparent area T. Such a configuration can also suppress deformation of the reversed pattern 3 r of the cured resin layer 19 .

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0060] use Figure 5 ~ Figure 6 The step-and-repeat imprint mold 2 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0061] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the light shielding member 5 is not provided at the end of the pattern area 13 but is provided only at a portion other than the end of the pattern area 13 . For example Image 6 As shown, the mold 2 having such a configuration can be used in a state held by the holding portion 21 of the imprint device so that the outer region of the light shielding member 5 is not irradiated with the active energy rays 19 . According to such a usage method, the area covered by the light shielding member 5 closest to the end of the pattern area 13 becomes the end portion light shielding area S1, the other areas covered by the light shielding member 5 become the non-end portion light shielding area S2, and the remaining areas It becomes the light-transmitting region T. Therefore, similarly to the s...

Abstract

Provided is a mold for step-and-repeat imprinting that is, when removing the mold, capable of suppressing deformation of the edges of a relief pattern formed on a cured resin layer. The present invention provides a mold 2 for step-and-repeat imprinting, comprising: a transparent substrate 4; a transparent resin layer 6 that is formed on the transparent substrate and includes a pattern region 13 having a relief pattern 3 formed thereon; and a light shielding member 5 provided between the transparent substrate and the transparent resin layer so as to overlap with the pattern region at part of the pattern region.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to step-and-repeat molds for imprinting and their manufacturing methods. Background technique [0002] Imprint technology is a microfabrication technology in which a mold having a concave-convex pattern is pressed against a transfer material such as liquid resin on a substrate, thereby transferring the pattern of the mold to the transfer material. As fine concave-convex patterns, there are nanoscale patterns on the order of 10nm to patterns on the order of 100μm, and they are used in various fields such as semiconductor materials, optical materials, storage media, micromotors, biology, and the environment. [0003] However, a mold having a nanoscale fine concave-convex pattern on its surface is very expensive because it takes time to form the pattern. Therefore, it is difficult to increase the size (enlarge the area) of a mold having a nanoscale fine concave-convex pattern on the surface. [0004] Therefore, in Patent Do...
