Abstract

The present disclosure provides an imprint template, including: a base substrate, a pattern layer for imprinting and a planarization layer; wherein the planarization layer is located on a surface of the pattern layer facing away from the base substrate, and a surface of the planarization layer facing away from the base substrate is a plane; and the planarization layer and the pattern layer are configured such that under a specific film removing process, the planarization layer is removed while the pattern layer remains. The present disclosure further provides a preparation method of an imprint template, and an imprint method.

Claims (18)

1. An imprint method, wherein the imprint method is based on an imprint template, and the imprint template comprises: a base substrate, a pattern layer for imprinting, and a planarization layer; wherein

the planarization layer is located on a surface of the pattern layer facing away from the abase substrate, and a surface of the planarization layer facing away from the base substrate is a plane;

the planarization layer and the pattern layer are configured such that under a specific film removing process, the planarization layer is removed while the pattern layer remains;

the planarization layer completely covers an entire surface of the pattern layer facing away from the base substrate;

the layer is for imprinting an imprint glue after the planarization layer is removed; and

a material of the planarization layer comprises: a water soluble material or a degradable material,

wherein the imprint method sequentially comprises:

imprinting the imprint glue by the planarization layer of the imprint template to flatten a surface of the imprint glue;

removing the planarization layer through a film removing process to expose the pattern layer; and

imprinting the imprint glue by the pattern layer of the imprint template to pattern the imprint glue, wherein

when the material of the planarization layer comprises a water soluble material, the step of removing the planarization layer through a film removing process comprises: dissolving the planarization layer with an aqueous solvent; and

when the material of the planarization layer comprises a degradable material, the step of removing the planarization layer through a film removing process comprises: degrading the planarization layer through a degradation process.

2. The imprint method according to claim 1 , wherein the imprint template further comprises: a buffer layer; wherein

the buffer layer is located between the base substrate and the pattern layer.

3. The imprint method according to claim 1 , wherein after the step of removing the planarization layer through a film removing process, the method further comprises:

drying the imprint template.

4. The imprint method according to claim 1 , wherein the water soluble material comprises at least one of a polyvinyl alcohol resin and a polycaprolactone resin.

5. The imprint method according to claim 1 , wherein the degradable material comprises a degradable imprint glue.
