Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a forming method so designed that in forming a mold- regulated shape, a mold made by casting a liquid sol prepared by sol-gel method into a matrix having a desired structure is used, thereby enabling submicron- patterned texture to easily be transferred to a photocurable resin on an opaque substrate. CONSTITUTION:A matrix texture 12 of diffraction grating pattern consisting of equally spaced straight lines 2mu in period and 0.8mu in depth made by photomask on the surface of e.g., a quartz substrate 11, is formed. A sol 14 is then cast into a region surrounded by this substrate 11 and a container 13, being gelled, and then dried and sintered to obtain a mold 15 consisting of silica glass. A mold texture 16 of diffraction grating pattern 1mu in period (0.5mu in pattern width) and 0.4mu in depth has been transferred on the surface of the mold 15. Thence, the mold 15 is placed, through a spacer 23, on a Si substrate 21 subjected to primer treatment to improve adherability to resin, and a ultraviolet-curable resin 22 is cast between the substrate 21 and mold 15 followed by irradiating ultraviolet rays 24 through the transparent mold 15 to cure the resin followed by removing the mold 15.
