To provide a microstructure fabricating method capable of transcribing a microstructure on the surface of a substrate using a micropattern template which is fabricated without using a high-grade micropattern drawing process.

The microstructure fabricating method comprises forming magnetize pattern on a magnetic recording medium, arranging magnetic particles on the surface of the recording medium in accordance with the magnetize pattern, and pressing the medium to another substrate, whereby the pattern of the magnetic particles arranged on the surface of the recording medium is transcribed onto the substrate.
