Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure describe cylindrical molds that may be used to produce cylindrical masks for use in lithography. A structured porous layer may be deposited on an interior surface of a cylinder. A radiation-sensitive material may be deposited over the porous layer in order to fill pores formed in the layer. The radiation-sensitive material in the pores may be cured by exposing the cylinder with a light source. The uncured resist and porous layer may be removed, leaving behind posts on the cylinder's interior surface. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
