Abstract

The patterning method includes forming a synthetic resin layer on a substrate, providing a mold in which a predetermined pattern is formed and metal particles are distributed on the surface of the mold, contacting the mold having the predetermined pattern with the synthetic resin layer, transferring the pattern of the mold onto the synthetic resin layer to form a patterned synthetic resin layer, and forming an organic layer on the patterned synthetic resin layer.

Claims (10)

1. A method of manufacturing a soft mold, the method comprising:

forming a first organic layer on a mold substrate;

forming a convex and concave pattern on the first organic layer to form a mold;

forming a second organic layer on the mold;

transferring the pattern of the mold onto the second organic layer, and separating the second organic layer from the mold to form a base mold; and

distributing metal material over a surface of the base mold to form metal particles in a chamber,

wherein the metal particles have hydrophilic properties with respect to the second organic layer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first organic layer includes a photosensitizer material.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second organic layer includes PolyDiMethylSiloxane (PDMS).

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal particles are distributed on a predetermined area on the surface where the second organic layer is formed.
