摘要:
In an alignment method for effecting alignment between two plate-like objects, a first plate-like object provided with a first alignment mark and a second plate-like object provide with a second alignment mark are disposed opposite to each other. A first area and a second area are provided at mutually nonoverlapping positions in an image pickup area for being observed through an image pickup device. Images of the first and second alignment marks are picked up by the image pickup device from a direction substantially perpendicular to an in-plane direction of the first and second plate-like objects. Alignment control is effected by using first information about a deviation of the first alignment mark from a predetermined position in the first area and second information about a deviation of the second alignment mark from a predetermined position in the second area.

A mold capable of effecting alignment of the mold and the member to be processed with high accuracy even in such a state that a photocurable resin material is disposed between the mold and the member to be processed is constituted by a substrate 2010 formed of a first material and an alignment mark 2102 formed of a second material different from the first material. The first material and the second material have transmittivities to light in a part of an ultraviolet wavelength range of the ultraviolet light. The second material has a refractive index of not less than 1.7.

A molding apparatus for patterning a workpiece includes a mold having a pattern to be transferred to the workpiece, with the pattern including recesses, a first support member for supporting the mold, and a second support member, arranged opposite to the first support member, for supporting the workpiece. A pressing mechanism brings the first and second support members close to each other and presses the mold and the workpiece together so as to transfer, to the workpiece, the pattern on the mold. Recessed portions are provided on at least one of a surface of the mold on the first support member side, a region of the first support member, and a region of the second support member. The recessed portions correspond to recesses in the pattern of the mold.

An imprint apparatus for imprinting a pattern provided to a mold onto a substrate or a member on the substrate includes a light source for irradiating a surface of the mold disposed opposite to the substrate and a surface of the substrate with light; an optical system for guiding the light from the light source to the surface of the mold and the surface of the substrate and guiding reflected lights from these surfaces to a spectroscope; a spectroscope for dispersing the reflected lights guided by the optical system into a spectrum; and an analyzer for analyzing a distance between the surface of the mold and the surface of the substrate. The analyzer calculates the distance between the surface of the mold and the surface of the substrate by measuring a distance between the surface of the mold and a surface formed at a position away from the surface of the mold.

A drive stage for a scanning probe apparatus includes a supporting member, a plurality of movable portions fixed to the supporting member, and a plurality of drive elements configured and positioned to drive the plurality of movable portions. The drive stage is driven in a direction in which inertial forces of the plurality of movable portions are mutually canceled during drive of the plurality of drive elements. The drive stage further includes an inertial force difference detection member configured and positioned to detect a difference in inertial force between the plurality of movable portions, and an inertial force adjustment member configured and positioned to effect inertial force adjustment so that the difference in inertial force between the plurality of movable portions is decreased on the basis of a detection output of the inertial force detection member.

A drive stage, for driving a sample or a probe, capable of ensuring a movable range of a movable portion as a counterweight and always effectively canceling an inertial force to suppress vibration of a supporting member leading to vibration of the sample or the probe includes a counter drive element for moving the probe or a sample holding table and a movable portion movable in a direction in which the inertial force generated during movement of the probe or the sample holding table. The movable portion surrounds the counter drive element outside the counter drive element.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided, in which the lengths of a wiring trench and a via hole in a depth direction are easily controlled. A component having a first insulating film is prepared on a substrate, and a layer is disposed on the above-described first insulating film. A mold having a pattern is imprinted on the above-described layer so as to form a second insulating film having a wiring trench and a first via, the pattern corresponding to the wiring trench and the first via. Thereafter, the above-described first insulating film is etched by using the above-described second insulating film as a mask so as to form a second via, which is connected to the first via, in the first insulating film.
