Abstract
(1) Alignment mark transfer portion(s) is/are formed on the transfer molding surface of a mold that is used for press-molding a optical element fixing member and having alignment marks; (2) alignment mark(s) is/are formed on the mold material by dry-etching, and the mold material is worked using the alignment mark(s) as a reference to form the transfer molding surface constituted by a plurality of transfer patterns, in order to obtain a mold for press-molding; and (3) the transfer patterns are formed by dry-etching, or a transfer molding bare surface for transfer patterns is formed by dry-etching and a mold release film is formed thereon to reflect the shape of the transfer molding base surface, in order to obtain a mold for press-molding.
Claims4
A method of producing a mold having a transfer molding surface constituted by a plurality of transfer patterns and is used for press-molding a shaping material into an article of a predetermined shape, wherein alignment mark(s) is/are formed on a mold material by dry-etching, and the mold material is worked using the alignment mark(s) as reference(s) in order to form the transfer molding surface constituted by the plurality of transfer patterns.
A method of producing a mold having a transfer molding surface constituted by a plurality of transfer patterns and is used for press-molding a shaping material into an article of a predetermined shape, wherein alignment mark(s) is/are formed on a mold material by dry-etching, the mold material is worked by using the alignment mark(s) as reference(s) in order to form a transfer molding bare surface constituted by bare transfer patterns that serve as bases for the transfer patterns, and a mold release film is formed so as to cover at least the transfer molding bare surface, the surface of the mold release film serving as a transfer surface.
