    摘要: A positioning apparatus includes a movable stage, a first linear motor for moving the stage in a predetermined direction, a platform for supporting the first linear motor, and an inertial force application mechanism for applying a force for canceling a force acting on the platform, which is generated when the stage is moved by the first linear motor. The inertial force application mechanism includes amass body, a guide for supporting and guiding the mass body, a second linear motor for moving the mass body, and a controller for controlling the second linear motor. Since the inertial force application mechanism of the positioning apparatus prevents transmission of vibration generated by an increase in an exciting force of the stage, rapid and precise positioning can be performed.

    摘要: A positioning device includes a stage which is movable along a reference surface, a stage driving mechanism for driving the stage, and an inertia imparting mechanism for reducing a reaction force produced by driving the stage. The inertia imparting mechanism has a mass body, which is movable with respect to a stage base or a structure, and a mass body driving mechanism for driving the mass body, and the stage base or structure is given inertia by driving the mass body. The inertia imparting mechanism also includes a reaction force compensation, which, by moving the mass body, reduces reaction force caused by motion of the stage, and a positioning compensation control system, which compensates for the position of the mass body. Thus, it is possible to reduce a reaction force produced by motion of the stage, and to compensate for position offset of the mass body.

    摘要: A precision stage is provided so as to be movable along the Z axis, in the .theta. direction, which is the direction of rotation about the Z axis, and in two oblique directions inclined with respect to the Z axis. The stage has a sensor for measuring stage position along the Z axis. Reference-position return of this sensor is carried out. Reference-position return of two Y laser interferometers for measuring the .theta. position of the precision stage is carried out in a state in which the positions of the precision stage in the direction along the Z axis and in the oblique directions are held at predetermined reference positions. After this reference-position return is carried out, reference-position return is performed with regard to an X laser interferometer and the two Y laser interferometers in a state in which the positions of the precision stage in the direction along the Z axis, in the oblique directions and in the .theta. direction are held at predetermined reference positions.

    摘要: An imprint apparatus is disclosed that forms, by pressing a resin applied onto a substrate and a mold against each other, a pattern on the substrate. The imprint apparatus includes a substrate stage that holds the substrate, and a control unit for controlling the position of the stage by outputting a manipulating variable on the basis of a position error between a position of the stage which has been measured by position measurement unit and a target position. The control unit reduces a ratio of the manipulating variable to the position error while the substrate and the mold are in contact with each other until mold release.
