Patent ID: 8184373

Claim:
A method for producing a structure, the method comprising steps of: (i) forming a resin layer on a base material and subjecting the resin layer to a first exposure-development process so as to form a plurality of structure units of a predetermined shape, and performing a heat-flow-shaping process to the plurality of structure units so that each of the plurality of structure units becomes a converging lens having refractive power, thereby forming a resin pattern (A); and (ii) subjecting a surface of the resin pattern (A) to a second exposure-development process and forming a resin pattern (B) having microscopic structure units, of a predetermined shape, arranged at a period shorter than or equal to a wavelength range of a using light, wherein: the steps (i) and (ii) are sequential, and in the step (i), the plurality of structure units thereof are periodically arranged in an array.
