Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An imprint method for imprinting an imprint pattern of a mold onto a pattern formation material on a substrate so as to realize a high throughput includes the steps of bringing the imprint pattern and the pattern formation material into contact with each other; applying a first pressure between the mold and the substrate to increase a contact area between the imprint pattern and the pattern formation material; and adjusting a positional relationship between the mold and the substrate at a second pressure lower than the first pressure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An imprint apparatus for imprinting an imprint pattern of a mold onto a pattern formation material on a substrate, the imprint apparatus comprising: a mold holding portion for holding the mold; a substrate stage for mounting the substrate thereon; a pressure control portion for controlling pressure applied by the mold and the substrate to the pattern formation material on the substrate; a position adjusting portion for adjusting a positional relationsh…
