Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A film mold according to the present embodiment includes a first resin layer having a pattern region including a concavo-convex pattern and constituted by a resin composition, and a first glass substrate layer constituted by thin film glass and laminated on a surface on an opposite side to a surface on which the pattern region is formed in the first resin layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A film mold comprising: a first resin layer having a pattern region including a concavo-convex pattern and constituted by a resin composition; and a first glass substrate layer constituted by thin film glass and laminated on a surface on an opposite side to a surface on which the pattern region is formed in the first resin layer. 2 . The film mold according to claim 1 , further comprising a second resin layer constituted by a resin composition and laminated on a surface on an opposite side to a surface on the first resin layer side of the first glass substrate layer. 3 . The film mold according to claim 2 , wherein a contraction rate of the resin composition constituting the first resin layer and a contraction rate of the resin composition constituting the second resin layer are the same. 4 . The film mold according to claim 2 , wherein one of the resin composition constituting the first resin layer and the resin composition constituting the second resin layer is a radically polymerizable curable resin composition and the other is a cationically polymerizable curable resin composition. 5 . The film mold according to claim 1 , wherein the first glass substrate layer is formed of a material having a tensile stress of 50 MPa or lower when bent into a state of a curvature radius of 150 mm or smaller. 6 . The film mold according to claim 1 , further comprising a second glass substrate layer laminated on a surface on an opposite side to a surface on the first resin layer side of the first glass substrate layer via an intermediate layer, the second glass substrate layer being constituted by thin film glass. 7 . The film mold according to claim 6 , wherein the first glass substrate layer and the second glass substrate layer are formed of a material having a tensile stress of 50 MPa or lower when bent into a state of a curvature radius of 150 mm or smaller. 8 . The film mold according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin layer has a non-pattern region in a region different from the pattern region, and an alignment mark is provided in the non-pattern region. 9 . The film mold according to claim 1 , wherein a Young's modulus of a layer formed of glass included in the film mold is 75 GPa or lower. 10 . An imprinting method comprising: a preparation step of preparing the film mold according to claim 1 and a transfer substrate that holds a molding target material on one surface thereof; a positioning step of positioning the film mold and the transfer substrate in a predetermined state; a contact step of bringing the pattern region of the film mold into contact with the molding target material held on the transfer substrate; a curing step of curing the molding target material brought into contact with the film mold to form a transfer layer onto which a pattern corresponding to the pattern region has been transferred; and a release step of separating the transfer layer and the film mold from each other such that a pattern structure that is the transfer layer is positioned on the transfer substrate.
