Patent ID: 7329619

Claim:
A method of fabricating a flat panel display, comprising the steps of: forming an etch-resist solution including a solvent having about 40 wt %-60 wt %; a cross-linkable polymer resin having about 30 wt %-50 wt %, and a cross-linker having about 1 wt %-5 wt % forming a thin film on a substrate; applying the etch-resist solution having a solvent to the substrate; aligning a soft mold on the substrate; applying a first heat treatment to the etch-resist solution while applying a pressure to the soft mold on the etch-resist solution, the first heat treatment having a first temperature below a vaporization temperature of the solvent, thereby substantially forming a patterned etch-resist layer; separating the soft mold from the patterned etch-resist layer; applying a second heat treatment to the patterned etch-resist layer; and etching the thin film using the patterned etch-resist layer as a mask, wherein the step of applying a first heat treatment temperature includes the step of applying a temperature of approximately 40° C.-60° C. for about 10 minutes.
