Abstract:
To obtain a good pattern having a good profile of etched pattern. A method for manufacturing an adhesive film for imprints, the method comprising applying an adhesive composition for imprints in a base, and then rinsing the adhesive composition for imprints.
Abstract:
A method of cultivating a plant including a step of seeding a seed of the plant on a transparent medium and germinating and a step of evaluating and sorting the seed of the plant after a start of the germinating according to a germinating state, and a plant cultivation apparatus that can be used for the method of cultivating a plant.
Abstract:
An under layer film having excellent surface planarity is provided. In one aspect, the under layer film-forming composition for imprints includes a (meth)acrylic resin (A) containing an ethylenic unsaturated group (P) and a nonionic hydrophilic group (Q), and having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 or larger; and a solvent (B), the resin (A) having an acid value of smaller than 1.0 mmol/g. In another aspect, the under layer film-forming composition for imprints includes a (meth)acrylic resin (A2) containing an ethylenic unsaturated group (P), and containing, as a nonionic hydrophilic group (Q), a cyclic substituent (Q2) having a carbonyl group in the cyclic structure thereof, with a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 or larger; and a solvent (B).
Abstract:
A nanoimprinting apparatus is equipped with: a distortion imparting device that applies external force onto an imprinting member, which is one of a mold and a substrate, to maintain the imprinting member in a predetermined flexed state, thereby imparting permanent distortion to the imprinting member; and an imprinting unit that utilizes the imprinting member having the permanent distortion imparted thereto by the distortion imparting device to execute imprinting. A pattern of protrusions and recesses of the mold can be caused to contact resist from the central portion thereof utilizing any imprinting member, regardless of the rigidity of the imprinting member.
Abstract:
In production of a mold having a deposited film on the surface thereof as a mold release layer, a quartz substrate plasma etched employing an etching gas that includes a sedimentary gas to form a pattern of protrusions and recesses having a desired shape in a structure constituted by the quartz substrate and a mask layer, while a deposited film constituted by sediment of the sedimentary gas is formed along the pattern of protrusions and recesses. The deposited film becomes the mold release layer. Thereby, throughput of mold production is improved in the production of molds having deposited films as mold release layers on the surfaces thereof.
