Abstract

A method and a device for forming at least a first pattern on a substrate (6,28), which is coated with a layer (5) on at least a first planar surface, are described. According to the method, a first pressing means (27) is arranged with a first structure (32) that defines the pattern, and the substrate (28) is arranged so that the first pressing means (27) is separated from the substrate (28) and so that the first pressing means (27) and the substrate (28) are unable to move transversely of the common center line (50) but are able to move freely in a direction along the center line (50). Subsequently, the first pressing means (27) is contacted with the substrate (28) while maintaining the common center line, and a pressure is applied to the substrate (28) and the first pressing means (27) to form said at least one pattern in the layer (30)
