Afterwards, shown in Fig. 1 F, like that, on the pattern 40 of resin 4, pile up metallic films such as Ag, Al by (cathode) sputtering, form reflectance coating 26, coating polyimide dielectric film 36 on this reflectance coating 26 like that shown in Fig. 1 G burns till under 200 ℃, make dielectric film 36 stabilizations, finish reflecting plate 1 thus.
Resin film 4 in the 1st method uses glass transition temperature than 200 ℃ of high polyimide, burn till under 200 ℃ in order on reflectance coating 26, to form dielectric film 36, so, in this firing process, can prevent from nick convex pattern 40 to be damaged by the residual stress of embossing operation.
Below, explanation convexes into method at the 2nd nick that resin film forms the nick convex pattern according to Fig. 1.Be with the difference of the 1st method, the 1st method is surpassing that polyreaction begins temperature and glass transition temperature and is beginning the temperature heating of temperature (be preferably glass transition temperature+10 ℃ below) less than thermal decomposition, make resin film 4 polymerizations and softening, by embossed portion 33 or knurling rolls 3A pushing formation nick convex pattern 40, and the 2nd method is after being formed by embossed portion 33 or knurling rolls 3A pushing under the temperature that begins temperature less than polyreaction, make its begin temperature above polyreaction and less than the temperature of glass transition temperature under polymerization.The 1st method is needing refrigerating work procedure by embossed portion 33 or knurling rolls 3A after the embossing operation to resin film 4 pushings, and the 2nd method has been omitted this refrigerating work procedure.
The 1st method has been used thermoplastic resin, and the 2nd method is not limited to thermoplastic resin, also can use " the strange rope of Co., Ltd. (チ Star ソ) " the such thermosetting resin of thermosetting polyamide PIS5001 (production code member) of corporate system.It is 120 ℃ that the polyreaction of this resin begins temperature, and in addition, it is 450 ℃ that thermal decomposition begins temperature, glass transition temperature specific heat kick off temperature height.
Figure 1A is identical with the 1st method.Rotate under the state that is coated on the substrate 5 at resin film 4 thermosetting resin systems such as polyamide (PA)s, the ratio that not polymerization reaction take place, or polyreaction takes place is lower, basically only by the molecular composition that constitutes resin, solid phase also has flowability, and spring rate is lower.
Shown in Figure 1B, like that, resin film 4 is carried out 3-10 minute prebake conditions, make solvent evaporates in the temperature that begins temperature (polyreaction begins temperature) less than thermmohardening (for example 110 ℃).
From the resin film 4 of softness such shown in Fig. 1 C, push, or knurling rolls 3A is rotated by embossed portion 33, pushing resin film 4, this point is identical with the 1st method.
This resin film 4 has the high resiliency rate that can keep duplicating the such degree of shape, is in mobile low state.
Shown in Fig. 1 D like that, when under being lower than the temperature that polyreaction begins temperature (less than 120 ℃), peeling off embossed portion, at the copying surface of resin film 4 nick convex pattern 40 as the inversion pattern of embossed portion.Afterwards, such shown in Fig. 1 E, begin temperature (120 ℃), surpass alignment films (alignment film) 36 (dielectric film) formation temperature (200 ℃) of Fig. 1 G and be lower than under 210 ℃ of glass transition temperature and burn till surpassing polyreaction, make membranous stabilization.It is identical with the 1st method with the operation that alignment films (dielectric film) forms operation (shown in Fig. 1 G) that reflectance coating forms operation (shown in Fig. 1 F).
The 2nd method heats being lower than under the temperature that polyreaction begins temperature, carry out prebake conditions, and carry out embossing and process, so, spring rate height under this state, mobile low, so, even under the state that does not cool off after the embossing fixed processing, pull down embossed portion, also can keep the shape of duplicating of nick convex pattern 40, after the embossing processing, high and by begin temperature in polyreaction less than the sintering temperature of glass transition temperature than resin, polymerization reaction take place is transformed into the spring rate height, mobile low membranous, so, even 200 ℃ of heating down, the shape of nick convex pattern 40 can not damaged yet when forming dielectric film 36.
