Patent ID: 8568639

Claim:
A process for producing a device, comprising: preparing a mold comprising: a mold substrate comprising a recess and a projection, which are formed of a first material, constituting a recess of the mold; and a surface layer, which is formed of a second material on the projection of the mold substrate formed of the first material and which constitutes a projection of the mold, for forming a pattern on a curable photocurable resin material, wherein the first material is more etchable than the second material, and wherein the first material and the second material are capable of allowing the curable resin material to be cured with respect to at least a part of a wavelength range of ultraviolet light; causing the surface layer of the mold to contact the curable resin material on a first substrate without removing the second material; irradiating the curable resin material on the first substrate with ultraviolet light through the mold; preparing an adjusted mold comprising increasing a depth of the pattern of the mold by etching the mold substrate while using the surface layer as a mask; causing the surface layer of the adjusted mold to contact the curable resin material on a second substrate different from the first substrate; and irradiating the curable resin material on the second substrate with ultraviolet light through the adjusted mold.
