Patent ID: 8366976

Claim:
A method for fabricating a flat panel display device, comprising: forming a thin film layer on a substrate; forming a resist on the thin film layer, wherein the resist has at least one of a dipole moment p value of at least 2 (D) or a solubility parameter value lower than 6 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 or higher than 11 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 and wherein the soft mold includes PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), and a solubility parameter value of the PDMS is about 7.3 (cal/cm 3 ) 1/2; forming a resist pattern by applying pressure to the resist with a soft mold which has a designated groove; and forming a thin film pattern by removing a thin film layer which does not overlap the resist pattern, wherein a solubility parameter of the resist is substantially different from the solubility parameter of the soft mold such that the soft mold does not absorb a substantial amount of the resist.
