Patent ID: 8038431

Claim:
An imprint mold for transferring a pattern by pressing a pattern region into a transfer layer and by curing the transfer layer with irradiation of a light, the imprint mold comprising: a substrate of transparent material having a first principal surface having the pattern region and a second principal surface opposite to the first principal surface; a first light shielding film provided on the first principal surface, along a periphery of the pattern region; and a second light shielding film provided on the second principal surface, having an opening including an opposite region to the pattern region, a part of the second light shielding film opposite to the first light shielding film; wherein the opening has a wider area than the opposite region of the second principal surface to the pattern region, and wherein, in a cross section perpendicular to the substrate, the maximum incident angle of the light for curing the transfer layer to the second principal surface is less than an angle between a perpendicular line of the second principal surface and a line connecting an end of the second light shielding film on a side of the opening and a most far end of the first light shielding film from the pattern region.
