A method includes providing a first multilayer structure including a substrate, a thin film, and a first photoresist layer; providing a second multilayer structure including a mold having a microstructure pattern, and a second photoresist layer; combining the first multilayer structure and the second multilayer structure so that the first photoresist layer is in contact with the second photoresist layer; and applying pressure and temperature. An article including a microstructure pattern is also disclosed.
