Abstract:
1. A process, comprising: applying a polymerizable resin on a substrate to form a resin layer on the substrate; applying pressure to a transparent shaft of a molding arrangement, the molding arrangement comprising a transparent mold optically and physically coupled to the transparent shaft wherein an optically clear compliant pad is disposed between the transparent shaft and the mold that facilitates application of uniform pressure to the mold, the mold comprising a replica pattern to be replicated on the resin layer; transferring the pressure to the mold via a transparent portion of the transparent shaft and the pad; radiating UV light through the transparent shaft while the transparent shaft is transferring the pressure to the mold to produce a cured resin layer which includes the replica pattern; and separating the mold from the cured resin layer to allow access to the substrate.
