    Abstract: An imprint apparatus performs alignment control of a mold and a substrate. A pattern formed on the mold is transferred onto a pattern forming layer on the substrate. A mold holding portion holds the mold, a substrate holding portion holds the substrate, and a control portion effects control so that the mold and the substrate are brought near to each other during the alignment control. The mold and the pattern forming layer are brought into contact with each other and then the pattern forming layer is cured. The control portion changes a driving profile for the alignment control after the alignment control is started and at least one of before and after the mold contacts the pattern forming layer. The driving profile used to move at least one of the mold holding portion and the substrate holding portion to a target position, and includes at least one of acceleration, speed, driving voltage, and driving current.

    Abstract: An imprinting method in which alignment control of a mold and a substrate is effected and a pattern formed on the mold is transferred onto a pattern forming layer provided on the substrate. The imprinting method includes a step in which the mold and the substrate are brought near to each other while effecting the alignment control, after the alignment control is started, to bring the mold and the pattern forming layer into contact with each other, and then, the pattern forming layer is cured, and a step in which the gap between the mold and the substrate is increased, after the pattern forming layer is cured. Further, the alignment control is stopped after the alignment control is started, and at least one of before and after the mold contacts the pattern forming layer.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the simultaneous determination of focus and source boresighting error for photolithographic steppers and scanners is described. A reticle containing custom arrays of box-in-box test structures specifically designed for performing source or exit pupil division using an aperture plate is exposed onto a resist coated wafer several times. The resulting exposure patterns are measured with a conventional overlay tool. The overlay data is processed with a slope-shift algorithm for the simultaneous determination of both focus and source telecentricity as a function of field position. Additionally, methods for ameliorating metrology induced effects and methods for producing precision Bossung curves are also described. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules, it shall not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

    Abstract: An imprint method for imprinting an imprint pattern provided to a mold onto a pattern forming layer formed on a substrate is constituted by a first step of effecting alignment between the substrate and the mold with feedback control; a second step of bringing the mold and the pattern forming layer into contact with each other; a third step of curing the pattern forming layer; and a fourth step of increasing a gap between the substrate and the mold. The imprint method further includes a step of stopping the feedback control between the first step and the second step and/or between the second step and the third step.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an immersion lithography proximity sensor having a nozzle shroud with a flow curtain. The immersion lithography proximity sensor includes a shroud that affixes to the nozzle. A plenum is located inside the shroud that holds a shroud liquid, which is fed into the plenum through one or more intake holes. The shroud liquid is emitted out through a series of openings, such as holes or slots, along a bottom surface of the shroud in a direction away from the nozzle. The shroud liquid that is emitted forms a curtain around the nozzle to prevent cross currents from impacting the flow of liquid out of the nozzle.
