摘要: An imprinting apparatus comprises a first carrier for carrying a flexible stamp and a second carrier movable relative to the first carrier and configured to carry a substrate having a resist layer. The second carrier comprises a chuck and a set of chuck actuators for translating a portion of the chuck in a Z-axis direction. Each chuck actuator comprises an actuator output and a lever arrangement between the actuator output and a chuck drive member. The lever arrangement enables an increase in positioning accuracy and increased stiffness, compared to the direct control of position using the actuator output.

摘要: An imprinting apparatus comprises a first carrier for carrying a flexible stamp and a second carrier movable relative to the first carrier and configured to carry a substrate having a resist layer. The second carrier comprises a chuck which comprises a hollow cylindrical body having a top face and a bottom face and a lattice arrangement between the top and bottom faces. The chuck has a reduced thermal mass while maintaining the required stiffness for maintaining a uniform imprint gap.

摘要: An imprinting apparatus comprises a first carrier for carrying a flexible stamp having an imprinting pattern and a second carrier movable relative to the first carrier and configured to carry a substrate having a resist layer. The second carrier comprises a chuck and an interface plate over the chuck, wherein the interface plate comprises an array of openings for receiving already-imprinted areas of one side of a substrate while an opposite side of the substrate is to be imprinted. The chuck comprises a fluid passage arrangement for coupling to the openings of the array.

摘要: An imprinting apparatus comprises a first carrier for carrying a flexible stamp and a second carrier movable relative to the first carrier and configured to carry a substrate having a resist layer. The first and second carriers are arranged such that the flexible stamp can be made to contact the substrate. The second carrier comprises a main frame which may be moved (relative to a reference frame) in a Z axis direction by a main actuator, and a chuck with a set of three chuck actuators, each with a stroke smaller than the stroke of the main actuator, for translating a portion of the chuck relative to the main frame in the Z-axis direction. The Z axis movement of the chuck is divided into two stages, with separate long stroke and short stroke drivers. This enables a very stiff support to be created with precise imprint gap control.
