Abstract

According to one embodiment, a template includes a base body, and a first film. The base body has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface includes silicon oxide and spreads along a first plane. The second surface crosses the first plane. The first film includes aluminum oxide. A direction from the second surface toward the first film is aligned with a direction perpendicular to the second surface. A thickness of the first film along the direction perpendicular to the second surface is not less than 0.3 nm and not more than 10 μm. The first surface includes an unevenness.

Claims (18)

1. A method for manufacturing a template, comprising:

preparing a base body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface including silicon oxide and spreading along a first plane, the second surface crossing the first plane;

forming an intermediate film on the second surface of the base body, the intermediate film including silicon as a main component;

forming a first film on the intermediate film, the first film including aluminum oxide; and

forming a second film on the first film, the second film including at least one of a phosphonic acid or a phosphonic acid compound, the phosphonic acid including fluoroalkyl, the phosphonic acid compound including fluoroalkyl.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the forming of the first film, heating is performed, and at least a portion of the first film includes a crystal.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein after the heating, at least a portion of a surface of the first film and at least a portion of the phosphonic acid including the fluoroalkyl are caused to bond by causing a material including the phosphonic acid including the fluoroalkyl to contact the surface, and by heating after the contacting.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein aluminum included in the aluminum oxide is bonded with the at least one of the phosphonic acid or the phosphonic acid compound.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein aluminum included in the aluminum oxide is bonded with the at least one of the phosphonic acid or the phosphonic acid compound to form a monolayer film.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon is at least one of crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, microcrystalline silicon and amorphous silicon.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate film physically contacts the aluminum oxide.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the forming the second film includes a treatment using a liquid of the at least one of a phosphonic acid or a phosphonic acid compound.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate film is made of silicon.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the intermediate film is not more than 100 nm.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the forming the first film is performed after the forming the intermediate film,

heating the intermediate film and the first film is performed after the forming the first film and after the forming the intermediate film, and

the first film is caused to contact a liquid comprising a phosphonic acid including fluoroalkyl after the heating.
