Abstract
The present invention relates a method of producing a data storage medium comprising the steps of: a) coating a layer comprising a polymer material onto at least a part of a template surface thereby to obtain a modified template surface; b) clamping the modified template surface produced in step (a) with a target surface thereby to obtain an assembly; and c) introducing a liquid to an environment of the assembly obtained in step (b) thereby to transfer the layer comprising the polymer material of the modified template surface onto at least an adjacent region on the target surface.
Claims14
A method of producing a data storage medium comprising the steps of:
- a) coating a polymer material layer directly onto at least a part of a template surface so as to form a modified template surface;
- b) clamping the modified template surface produced in step (a) with a target surface so as to form an assembly;
- and
- c) introducing a liquid to an environment of the assembly formed in step (b) so as to cause the polymer material layer to separate from the template and remain on at least an adjacent region of the target surface.
