摘要: Systems and methods for shaping a film. Formable material in an imprint field on the substrate may be contacted with a shaping surface of a template. Outer boundaries of the imprint field correspond to outer boundaries of the shaping surface. Shaping the film includes forming a cured layer within the imprint field while the shaping surface is in contact with the formable material. Shaping the film may include separating the shaping surface from the cured layer. Shaping the film may include moving the template away from the imprint field to a first offset location wherein the outer boundaries of the shaping surface are offset relative to the outer boundaries of the imprint field. Shaping the film may include curing a second portion of the formable material while the template is at the first offset location so as to form the shaped film.

摘要: An imprint apparatus cures an imprint material by irradiating the imprint material with light while the imprint material on a substrate is in contact with a pattern region of a mold. The imprint apparatus includes a first supply unit configured to supply a first gas to a gap between the substrate and the mold, the first gas accelerating filling of recessed portions of the pattern region with the imprint material, and a second supply unit configured to supply a second gas to the gap, the second gas inhibiting curing of the imprint material.

摘要: An imprint apparatus performs an imprint process of forming a pattern on a substrate by bringing a mold into contact with an imprint material on the substrate and curing the imprint material. The apparatus includes a substrate stage mechanism having a substrate chuck configured to hold the substrate, a mold driver configured to drive the mold, and a controller configured to control, based on tilt information indicating a tilt of the substrate chuck which is caused by a force received from the mold driver, the mold driver so as to adjust a relative tilt of the mold with respect to the substrate in the imprint process.

摘要: An alignment method includes directing an illumination beam with a first polarization state to form a diffracted beam with a second polarization state from an alignment target, and passing the diffracted beam through a polarization analyzer. The alignment method further includes measuring a polarization state of the diffracted beam and determining a location of the alignment target from the measured polarization state relative to its initial polarization state. The alignment target includes a plurality of diffraction gratings with a single pitch and two or more duty cycles, wherein the pitch is smaller than a wavelength of the illumination beam, and the location of the alignment target corresponds to the duty cycle of the diffraction grating.

摘要: There is disclosed a method of measuring a process parameter for a manufacturing process involving lithography. In a disclosed arrangement the method comprises performing first and second measurements of overlay error in a region on a substrate, and obtaining a measure of the process parameter based on the first and second measurements of overlay error. The first measurement of overlay error is designed to be more sensitive to a perturbation in the process parameter than the second measurement of overlay error by a known amount.
