Patent ID: 8485811

Claim:
A fine structure formation apparatus for forming a fine structure on a surface of a transferred object by using a belt mold, comprising: a cylindrical shape pressurizing mechanism having a pair of cylindrical shape rollers opposed with each other to heat and pressurize the belt mold; a supporting base material travelling on the cylindrical shape rollers on a side of the transferred object; a preheating mechanism which heats up the belt mold right before the belt mold is contacted to the cylindrical shape rollers; a contacting mechanism to contact the belt mold, the transferred object and the supporting base material; a cooling mechanism which cools down the belt mold under a predetermined pressure forcibly maintained, right after the belt mold is heated and pressurized by the cylindrical shape rollers; and an elastic body is formed on a surface of each of the pair of cylindrical shape rollers of the cylindrical shape pressurizing mechanism, wherein: the belt mold, the transferred object and the supporting base material travel under a non-contact condition to the cylindrical shape pressurizing mechanism, and pressurized by the cylindrical shape pressurizing mechanism under a condition that the transferred object is sandwiched between the belt mold and the supporting base material; and wherein the elastic body has a heat resistance in a range from 200° C. to 300° C. and a coefficient of elasticity ranging from about 100 MPa to 4000 MPa.
