PURPOSE: To mold a polymer layer having no gas bubble and no surface cavity by forming a mold for forming a mold cavity having desired shape and size of the layer, evacuating the mold cavity, injecting resin for the layer in the cavity, and curing it.
CONSTITUTION: A gasket 104 and a mold member 110 are mounted at a platen 34 to form a mold cavity. A resin filled in a tank is placed in a container 76. The container 76 is sealed by a cover 78. A valve 96 is opened to evacuate a mold cavity 114 and the container 76. A tube 82 is sunk in resin 88. The valve 96 is closed to inject the resin in the cavity 114 by a pressure source 94, and then a valve 92 is opened. And, the resin is cured, and the gasket 104 and the member 110 are removed. The platen 34 and a polymer layer 30 attached thereto are subjected to an oxygen plasma treatment to form a surface film.
