Patent ID: 7202007

Claim:
A patterned film forming method, comprising steps of: preparing a transfer member having a transfer surface on which asperities are formed in accordance with a film pattern to be formed; performing stripping treatment on surfaces of at least ridges formed on said transfer surface of said transfer member; thereafter forming a thin film formed by a technology of vacuum film formation on said surfaces of said at least ridges formed on said transfer surface of said transfer member; and transferring said thin film formed on said surfaces of said at least ridges of said transfer member onto a substrate, thereby forming a patterned film on said substrate, wherein said vacuum film formation is performed on a surface of a suitable member by said technology of said vacuum film formation and subsequently transferred to said surfaces of said at least ridges of said transfer surface of said transfer member, thereby forming said thin film formed by said technology of said vacuum film formation on said surfaces of said at least ridges formed on said transfer surface of said transfer member.
