Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a method of forming a three-dimensional micro pattern or a multi-step pattern using a nano imprinting process and a method of manufacturing a mold to form such a pattern. A molding polymer may be patterned in a one-step shape on a substrate having UV barrier patterns, thereby easing the manufacture of a mold for multi-step imprinting and simplifying the formation of a multi-step pattern using the one-step shaped mold by avoiding the repetition of more complicated processes. Consequently, it may be possible to form a relatively large-area micro pattern, a relatively large-area pattern usable in flat panel displays, and a nano pattern having a size of several tens of nanometers in a semiconductor process, thereby contributing to the reduction of process costs, the reduction of process time, and the improvement of production yield.
