[0029] A method for manufacturing multiple patterned patterns includes the following steps: Please refer to Figure 1 A semiconductor substrate 100 is provided, and a hard mask layer 101 and a first patterned adhesive layer 102 are sequentially formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 The first patterned adhesive layer 102 is deposited using chemical vapor deposition technology to form the first deposition layer 103.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3The top of the first deposited layer 103 covered by the top of the first patterned adhesive layer 102 is removed by chemical mechanical planarization or etching.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 The first patterned adhesive layer 102 is removed by wet etching or dry etching to form a non-usable multi-pattern 103' to be molded.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The non-usable multiple pattern 103' to be molded is processed using pressure casting technology. Liquid casting template material 104 is pressure-cast onto the non-usable multiple pattern 103' using a flat plate 107 with uniform mechanical force. The cooled and solidified casting template material 104 is removed to form a first template 105. A release stencil layer is coated onto the first template 105, and the first template 105 coated with the release stencil layer is baked. After baking, the first template 105 coated with the release stencil layer is placed at room temperature. The first template 105 is pressed onto the flat plate 107 with uniform mechanical force. Vacuum-defoamed colloid 109 coated with tackifier 108 is then pressure-cast and poured into the gaps of the first template 105 coated with the release stencil layer using semiconductor material to be processed, with uniform mechanical force. The first template 105 coated with the release stencil layer serves as the bottom, and is then baked after standing. After baking, the planar plate 107 is placed on top, and then removed. The area of ​​the colloid 109 is irradiated with ultraviolet light to cure the colloid 109. The first template 105 coated with the release-aiding spacer layer is removed using a release agent, and excess residual adhesive on the semiconductor material is removed using an etching solution to form a multi-patterned adhesive layer 110.
