The present invention provides a method of fabricating an imprint mold for
molding a structure. The method includes directing a first and a second
flux for forming a first material and a second material, respectively, to
a substrate to form a layered structure having alternating layers of the
first and the second material. The method also includes controlling a
thickness of the first and the second layers by controlling the first and
the second flux and cleaving the layered structure to form a cleavage
face in which sections of the layers are exposed. The method further
includes etching the exposed sections of the layers using a etch
procedure that predominantly etches one of the first and the second
materials to form the mold having an imprinting surface with at least one
indentation for molding the structure. At least one of the fluxes is
controlled so that at least one of the layers has a thickness that varies
along a portion of a length of the at least one layer.
