Abstract

The present invention is related to a method for fabricating an imprint mold which can be used in the field of nano-imprint lithography. Firstly, a diamond film and a photoresist film are successively formed onto a substrate; wherein the photoresist film is more capable of anticorrosion than the diamond film. Then an energy beam lithography system is provided to make the photoresist film form a photoresist mask with particularly arranged patterns. Because of the etching selectivity between the diamond film and the photoresist film, on the surface of the diamond film a pattern can be easily formed with recessions and protrusions according to the photoresist mask by dry etching method.
