Abstract
A heating mould for thermal nanoimprint lithography, a process of producing the heating mould, and a process for producing a nanostructured substrate which include the heating mould. The heating mould includes the heating mould. The heating mould includes a substrate having a first principal surface and a second principal surface, and a through-cavity extending from a first orifice in the first principal surface up to a second orifice in the second principal surface. The mould also includes a heating layer, an electrically and thermally insulating layer which covers the heating layer and, at least partially, imprint patterns, and leads for supplying an electric current to the heating layer.
