Abstract:
1. A manufacturing method for a three-dimensional photonic crystal, comprising: A. holding, by a first holding member, a first cross-sectional form member from amongst a plurality of cross-sectional form members above a first substrate, a pattern member comprising the first holding member and the first cross-sectional form member; B. first bonding/transferring and laminating the first cross-sectional form member onto a second substrate; C. releasing the first cross-sectional form member from the first holding member after the first bonding/transferring and laminating; D. holding, by a second holding member, a second cross-sectional form member from amongst the plurality of cross-sectional form members above the first substrate; E. second bonding/transferring and laminating the second cross-sectional form member onto the first cross-sectional form member; F. releasing the second cross-sectional form member from the second holding member after the second bonding/transferring and laminating; repeating steps D, E and F, at least once, wherein, for each repetition, the “second holding member” becomes a new holding member and the “second cross-sectional form member” becomes a new cross-sectional form member from amongst the plurality of cross-sectional form members and the “first cross-sectional form member” becomes the second cross-sectional form member from a previous repetition, respectively, wherein each cross-sectional form member corresponds to a slice pattern of the three-dimensional photonic crystal, each cross-sectional form member comprises a plurality of longitudinal members separated by gaps from each other, each of the plurality of longitudinal members having two tips, one tip being connected to a lateral member, and the other tip being connected to another lateral member.
