Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an imprint device includes a holding unit, a mounting unit, a moving unit, a curing unit, a pressing portion, and a detecting portion. The holding unit holds template having a pattern portion pressed onto a transfer portion provided on a substrate. The mounting unit mounts the substrate. The moving unit is provided on at least either the holding unit or the mounting unit. The moving unit moves the holding unit and the mounting unit in directions approaching each other or directions away from each other. The curing unit cures the transfer portion onto which the pattern portion of the template is pressed. The pressing portion pushes the template pressed onto the transfer portion in a direction intersecting a pressing direction of the template. The detecting portion detects a position of the template pushed by the pressing portion.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, there is provided an exposure method. The method includes attaching a thin film sheet thermally shrinkable onto a rear face of a wafer. The method includes heating the wafer provided with the thin film sheet attached thereon, and deforming the wafer into a shape projecting on a front face side of the wafer. The method includes fixing the deformed wafer onto a stage by vacuum suction holding from a rear face side of the wafer. The method includes performing exposure to the fixed wafer.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an optical element branches reflection light from a first mark and a second mark having different focus positions, a first imaging element captures an image of the first mark based on a first branch light branched by the optical element, a second imaging element captures an image of the second mark based on a second branch light branched by the optical element, and an arithmetic processing unit that calculates a misalignment between the first mark and the second mark based on a result of superimposition of the image of the first mark and the image of the second mark.
Abstract:
A pattern accuracy detecting apparatus includes a stage for supporting a substrate, an optical warpage detecting unit that measures a shape of a substrate disposed on the stage, an optical pattern detection unit that detects a position of a pattern on the substrate, and a processing unit that corrects the detected pattern position based on the measured shape of the substrate.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, first, an embedment material is embedded between linear core material patterns in such a manner that a height thereof becomes lower than a height of each of the core material patterns. Then, a shrink agent is supplied and solidified on the embedment material. Subsequently, the solidified shrink agent and the embedment material are removed and a spacer film is formed on an object of processing. Then, the spacer film is etched-back and a spacer pattern is formed by removal of the core material patterns. The solidified shrink agent which is formed in such a manner that a width of the spacer pattern becomes narrow in a region corresponding to a position where the shrink agent, in a sectional surface vertical to an extended direction of the spacer pattern is supplied is removed.
