Abstract:
1. A fine pattern forming apparatus, comprising: surface irregularity information reading means having a first probe being relatively movable along a surface of a planar plate having a pattern defined by a surface irregularity, said surface irregularity information reading means being adapted to detect surface irregularity information of the surface of the planar plate on the basis of displacement of the first probe as the same is relatively moved relative to the planar plate; and surface irregularity information writing means having a second probe being relatively movable along a surface of a substrate to be processed, said surface irregularity information writing means is adapted to relatively move the second probe along the surface of the substrate to be processed and to apply an electric voltage, in accordance with the surface irregularity information of the planar plate, to between the second probe and the surface of the substrate, so that a pattern corresponding to the surface irregularity pattern of the planar plate can be formed on the surface of the substrate.
