Abstract: A method for performing micro fabrication includes using, as a photomask, a self-organizing material-patterned substrate which is soluble in an organic solvent. A method for emitting light includes emitting the light in a pattern of a nucleic acid which is a self-organizing material immobilized on a self-organizing material-patterned substrate. An immobilization layer containing a binding material capable of binding to a self-organizing material is formed on a substrate. Then this immobilization layer is patterned by transferring a protrusion and recess pattern formed in a mold thereto by the imprint process. The self-organizing material is supplied onto the side having the protrusion and recess pattern of the immobilization layer transferred thereto.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of patterning a self-organizing material whereby a self-organizing material having a self-organization ability such as a nucleic acid can be aligned and immobilized in a desired manner on a substrate by using the imprint process, a patterned substrate of a self-organizing material and a method of producing the same, and a photomask. An immobilization layer containing a binder capable of binding to a self-organizing material is formed on a substrate. Then this immobilization layer is patterned by transferring an uneven pattern formed in a mold thereto by the imprint process. The self-organizing material is supplied onto the face having the uneven pattern of the immobilization layer transferred thereto. Thus, the self-organizing material is immobilized following the uneven pattern of the immobilization layer owing to the self-organization ability of the material per se and the binding ability of the binder contained in the immobilization layer.
