Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for enhancing hardness of a nanoimprint mold comprising following steps of: providing a male mold, composed of a first material, for imprinting a female mold and producing a nano structural pattern on the female mold, and the female mold composed of a second material, wherein the hardness of the first material is higher than the hardness of the second material; applying a nano-indentation technique to the female mold onto the female mold by a nano-indentation apparatus having a diamond array probe so as to enhance the surface hardness of the female mold; and impressing a substrate by the female mold with the nano structural pattern having the enhanced surface.
