Abstract
A transfer method for transferring asperities formed on a master carrier or transfer information represented by the asperities onto a slave medium, comprises the step of bringing the master carrier on which microscopic asperities are formed into close contact with the slave medium by pressing the master carrier by pressure of fluid in a direct manner or an indirect manner through a flexible film. Deformation of the master carrier or the flexible film in a pressed region where the pressure of the fluid is applied is prevented, and transfer is performed while the master carrier is in close contact with the slave medium.

A transfer method for transferring asperities formed on a master carrier or transfer information represented by the asperities onto a slave medium, comprising the step of
- bringing the master carrier on which microscopic asperities are formed into close contact with the slave medium by pressing the master carrier by pressure of fluid in a direct manner or an indirect manner through a flexible film, wherein
- deformation of the master carrier or the flexible film in a pressed region where the pressure of the fluid is applied is prevented, and transfer is performed while the master carrier is in close contact with the slave medium.
A transfer apparatus comprising:
- a master carrier on which microscopic asperities are formed;
- a slave medium onto which data is transferred;
- and
- a pressure device which brings the master carrier into close contact with the slave medium by pressure of fluid, wherein
- deformation of the master carrier or a flexible film placed between the master carrier and the slave medium in a pressed region where the pressure by the fluid is applied is prevented, and
- the asperities or transfer information represented by the asperities are transferred onto the slave medium while the slave medium is in close contact with the master carrier.
