A method of forming a micro-structure involves forming a multi-layered structure including i) an oxidizable material layer on a substrate and ii) another oxidizable material layer on the oxidizable material layer. The oxidizable material layer is formed of an oxidizable material having an expansion coefficient, during oxidation, that is more than 1. The method further involves forming a template, including a plurality of pores, from the other oxidizable material layer, and growing a nano-pillar inside each pore. The nano-pillar has a predefined length that terminates at an end. A portion of the template is selectively removed to form a substantially even plane that is oriented in a position opposed to the substrate. A material is deposited on at least a portion of the plane to form a film layer thereon, and the remaining portion of the template is selectively removed to expose the nano-pillars.

A method for preparing invisible anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) patterns is revealed. The method includes a plurality of steps. First take an aluminum substrate. Then anodize the aluminum substrate for the first time to get a first anodic aluminum oxide (AAO). Next perform photolithography so that a photoresist forms a pattern on the aluminum substrate with the first AAO. Lastly anodize the aluminum substrate for the second time so that a second AAO is formed on the pattern and the pattern becomes invisible.

A semiconductor device that includes a porous anodic region for embedding a structure. The porous anodic region is defined by a ductile hard mask. The ductility of the hard mask reduces the potential for the hard mask to crack during the formation by anodization of the porous anodic region. The ductile hard mask may be a metal. The metal may be selected to form a stable oxide when exposed to the anodization electrolyte thereby enabling the hard mask to self-repair if a crack occurs during the anodization process.
