Disclosed is a fine pattern forming apparatus and a fine pattern inspecting apparatus. In one preferred form, the fine pattern forming apparatus includes a surface irregularity information reading device for detecting a shape signal corresponding to a surface irregularity of a surface of an original, while scanning the surface by use of a first probe, and a surface irregularity information writing device for processing a substrate to be processed, while scanning a surface of the substrate by use of a second probe, wherein an applied electric voltage to the second probe is changed in accordance with the shape signal while a distance between the second probe and the substrate is kept substantially constant, or the distance between the second probe and the substrate is changed in accordance with the shape signal while the applied electric voltage to the second probe is kept substantially constant, such that the substrate is processed in accordance with the surface irregularity of the original.
摘要:
A pattern transferring apparatus is disclosed which can prevent damage to a transferred pattern and realize fast mold release regardless of the type of resist. The pattern transferring apparatus transfers a pattern formed on a mold to an object by bringing the mold into contact with the apparatus has a deformer which causes deformation in the mold for releasing the mold from the object. The apparatus transfers a pattern formed on a mold to a photo-curing resin by bringing the mold into contact with the photo-curing resin and applying light thereto to cure the photo-curing resin. The apparatus has an optical system which applies light at an irradiation light intensity to a non-transfer area other than a transfer area where the pattern is to be transferred in the photo-curing resin, the intensity being different from an irradiation light intensity of light applied to the transfer area.

A processing method for transferring a relief pattern of a mold to a resist includes the steps of compressing the mold having the relief pattern against the resist on a substrate, irradiating an exposure light onto the resist through the mold, vibrating the mold and the substrate relative to each other during the irradiating step, and releasing the mold from the resist.
摘要:
One object of the present invention is to provide a pattern transferring mold which can provide a starting area of mold release easily and certainly and a pattern transferring apparatus with the same. A pattern transferring mold is disclosed which is used in a pattern transferring apparatus that brings the mold into contact with a photo-curing resin on a substrate and cures the photo-curing resin by light irradiation to transfer a pattern formed on the mold onto the photo-curing resin. The mold comprises a bottom face which contacts the photo-curing resin, the bottom face portion including a first area in which the pattern is formed and a second area formed outside the first area. The mold has a mold-releasing shape in the second area, the mold-releasing shape providing a starting area of mold release from the cured photo-curing resin.
