Abstract

An apparatus for fabricating a flat panel display device including a preparation unit to form a thin film layer and a etch-resist on a substrate and a hard mold to mold the etch-resist, the hard mold including a back plate and a molding pattern.

Claims (17)

1. A method of fabricating a hard mold for use in fabricating patterns of a flat panel display device, comprising:

forming a substrate having a hydrophilic surface processed by O2 plasma processing;

forming a hydrophobic organic pattern including self-assembled monolayers on the substrate;

forming a molding pattern on the hydrophobic organic pattern, wherein the molding pattern is hydrophobic and includes hexane of about 20 to about 30%, PDMS of about 65 to about 75%, and a curing agent of about 5 to about 15%;

preparing a back plate formed from a metallic or glass material;

forming an adhesive layer on any one of the back plate and the molding pattern;

bonding the molding pattern with the back plate using the adhesive layer;

hardening the molding pattern using heat or ultraviolet after bonding; and

separating the back plate having the adhesive layer and the molding pattern from the substrate wherein the molding pattern is attached to the back plate by the adhesive layer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein forming the hydrophobic organic pattern includes:

forming self-assembled monolayers on the substrate; and

processing a surface of the self-assembled monolayers by using an ultraviolet ray.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the self-assembled monolayers includes any one of alkyltrichlorosilane and alkanethiol.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein step of forming the self-assembled monolayers on the substrate includes:

preparing a soft mold having a reference surface and a groove indented from the reference surface;

applying the self-assembled monolayers to the reference surface of the soft mold; and

transferring the self-assembled monolayers on the soft mold to the substrate.
