摘要:
An imprint apparatus, comprising a first holder for holding a mold having an imprint pattern; a second holder for holding a workpiece to which the imprint pattern is transferred; a first illumination system for irradiating a mark for determining a position of the mold and a mark for determining a position of the workpiece with light; a first and second optical systems for imaging the marks for the mold and workpiece at a first and second observation points respectively; an imaging optical system; a first and second image pick-up devices for observing the marks for the mold and workpiece respectively; and at least one of a first drive mechanism for moving the first image pick-up device while following movement of the first observation point and a second drive mechanism for moving the second image pick-up device while following movement of the second observation point.

An imprint apparatus includes a first holding portion 1000 for holding a mold; a second holding portion 1040 for holding a member to be processed; and a support portion 1050 for partially supporting the member to be processed at a position opposite to the mold held by said first holding portion. The mold and the support portion determines a pressurizing axis for pressurizing the member to be processed. The support portion and the second holding portion are movable relative to each other, independently of said first holding portion, in a direction parallel to the pressurizing axis so that said support portion is moved apart from the member to be processed.

A pattern transfer method for transferring an imprinting pattern formed on a mold provided with an alignment mark onto a substrate provided with an alignment mark or a resin material interposed between the substrate and the mold includes a first step for obtaining a first image by disposing the alignment mark provided to the mold and an alignment mark provided to a reference substrate at a first object position and observing the alignment marks through a first image pickup portion, a second step for obtaining a second image by disposing the alignment mark provided to the reference substrate at a second object position spaced apart from the first object position and observing the alignment mark through a second image pickup portion, and a third step for obtaining information about a difference in image position between the alignment marks by using the first and second images.
摘要:
A scanning probe apparatus for obtaining information of a sample, recording information in the sample, or processing the sample with relative movement between the sample and the apparatus, the apparatus is constituted by a probe; and a scanning stage including a drive element for moving a sample holding table for holding the sample and a movable portion movable in a direction in which an inertial force generated during movement of the sample holding table is cancelled. The scanning stage further includes a memory for storing characteristic information of the scanning stage and is detachably or replaceably mountable to a main assembly of the apparatus.

The object of the present invention is to provide an EL panel that fully attains the intrinsic light-emitting property and that sustains stable light-emitting property. The EL panel 10 in a preferred embodiment of the present invention has a substrate 2, an EL element 4, a passivation film 5 formed on an upper surface of the EL element 4, a protective layer 6 covering the EL element 4, and a seal plate 8, in this order. The protective layer 6 contains an optical cation-curing type resin and an acid-trapping agent.

An imprint apparatus for imprinting a pattern formed on a mold in a resin material formed on a substrate with accuracy is constituted by a light source for irradiating the resin material with light for curing the resin material; a measuring device for measuring a physical value which reflects a state of the resin material resulting from the irradiation of light from the light source; and a controller for controlling a spatial positional relationship between the mold and the substrate or an amount of light from the light source on the basis of information obtained from the measuring device.
摘要:
An optical element is formed by using a plurality of pillar-shaped members arranged periodically and a pair of support members arranged perpendicularly relative to the direction of arrangement of the pillar-shaped members so as to sandwich the pillar-shaped members. The optical element showing a periodic structure of periodic distribution of refractive index. An optical characteristic of the optical element is modulated by applying force to the optical element in a direction perpendicular to the direction of arrangement of the pillar-shaped members and changing the diameter of the pillar-shaped members.
摘要:
A tracking mechanism for an apparatus which records and/or reproduces data on and/or from a medium through a relative scan of the medium with probes, the medium being formed with a plurality of tracking bit trains disposed in parallel at a predetermined distance between trains, the tracking mechanism having: a plurality of probes disposed at a predetermined distance between probes; and a tracking controller for performing a tracking control in accordance with outputs from the plurality of probes, the outputs being obtained when the plurality of tracking bit trains are scanned with the plurality of probes. A tracking method for such an apparatus includes the steps of: scanning the plurality of tracking bit trains with a plurality of probes disposed at a predetermined distance between probes; and performing a tracking control in accordance with outputs from the plurality of probes, the outputs being obtained when the plurality of tracking bit trains are scanned with the plurality of probes.
摘要:
An imprint method for imprinting a pattern of a mold onto a resin material on a substrate. The imprint method includes a step of forming a processed area in which an imprint pattern corresponding to the pattern of the mold is formed, and an outside area formed of a periphery of the processed area, by bringing the mold into contact with the resin material formed on the substrate, so that a portion of the resin material is extruded from the processed area into the outside area, a step of forming a protection layer for protecting the processed area, and a step of removing a layer of the resin material in the outside area, while the imprint pattern formed on a layer of the resin material in the processed area, is protected by the protection layer, so as not to be removed.
