  • Patent number: 9505166
    Abstract: A rectangular substrate is used as a mold after it is provided with a topological pattern. The substrate has A-side and B-side opposed surfaces, the A-side surface being provided with the topological pattern. The A-side surface includes a central rectangular region of 1 to 50 mm by 1 to 50 mm having a flatness of up to 350 nm. Use of the mold-forming substrate prevents the occurrence of a pattern misalignment or pattern error between the step of forming a pattern on a mold-forming substrate and the transfer step. Transfer of a fine size and complex pattern is possible.

  • Publication number: 20160332280
    Abstract: Proposed herein is a method for producing substrates, particularly those of synthetic quartz glass, while saving the substrate surface from killer defects without resorting to any large-scale apparatus and precision polishing plate, thereby reducing defectives and improving yields more than in production with conventional facilities. The method for producing substrates by polishing, includes steps of placing substrate stocks individually in work holes formed in a carrier on a lower polishing plate, bringing an upper polishing plate into contact with the surface of the substrate stocks, with the surface of the substrate stocks being coated with an impact-absorbing liquid and the lower polishing plate being rotated, and rotating the upper and lower polishing plates, with the surface of the substrate stocks being accompanied by a polishing slurry.
