Replica molding technology has a reproducible and high-resolution advantage in fabrication of polymer patterns with the feature sizes of sub-micrometer to micrometer. It is critically desirable to develop a low cost and rapid route for building the initiahemplate. In this report, ordered array which could achieve morphological control was continuously supplied from solvent evaporation-driven process in a micron spacing gap by the coffee-stain theory. We use the patterned array as a mother setof the pattern definition of the soft moldpolydimethylsiloxane （PDMS） and obtain transferred patterns through replica molding technology. We also explore the polymer deposition periodically based on the theoretical model of Young-Laplace equation. The results demonstrate that the deposition frequency is influened by molecular weight of polymer, sliding speed of glass plate and concentration of solution. Trends predicted by these calculations agree with experimental behavior.
