    摘要: A seat skin 11 has a front surface layer 12, a back surface layer 13, and pores 15. The inner wall of the pore 15 is covered by the front surface layer 12. The seat skin 11 is produced by forming a base material having at least a front surface layer 12 and a back surface layer 13; sandwiching the base material between a pressing plate having a die for the pores, and a backing plate opposite the pressing plate; pressing the pressing plate against the backing plate with the base material being heated at a temperature that a component contained in the front surface layer 12 does not melt, to form the pores in the base material; and removing the base material having the pores formed therein from between the pressing plate and the backing plate.

    摘要: An imprint lithography stamp includes a stamp body having a patterned surface and formed from a fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer. The imprint lithography stamp further includes a backing plate with a plurality of through-holes with portions of the stamp body extending into the through-holes to adhere the stamp body to the backing plate. The patterned surface of the stamp body has a plurality of protrusions extending from the stamp body, which are used to form high aspect ratio features at high processing temperatures. A mold design for forming the imprint lithography stamp and an injection molding process for forming the imprint lithography stamp are also provided.

    摘要: An embossing die is provided to an embossing apparatus. The embossing die is heated by a heating unit which is provided to the embossing apparatus. The embossing die includes a convex shaped mold portion. The mold portion corresponds to one concave portion formed on a front face of a base material. The mold portion is an aggregate of a plurality of protrusions which are divided by a slit. The slit is provided to an outer surface of the mold portion which contacts the front face of the base material. In the slit, a cutting direction corresponds to a height direction of the mold portion. The plurality of protrusions are adjacent to each other through the slit.

    摘要: A shaping system and method of using the shaping system. The shaping system may comprise a radiation source; a template chuck configured to hold a template; and an optical diaphragm positioned between the template chuck and the radiation source. The optical diaphragm may have a plurality of blades. Each blade has a cutout in an edge of each blade. Edges and cutouts of the plurality of blades may form an opening which actinic radiation from the radiation source passes through.

    摘要: Systems and methods for shaping a film. Formable material in an imprint field on the substrate may be contacted with a shaping surface of a template. Outer boundaries of the imprint field correspond to outer boundaries of the shaping surface. Shaping the film includes forming a cured layer within the imprint field while the shaping surface is in contact with the formable material. Shaping the film may include separating the shaping surface from the cured layer. Shaping the film may include moving the template away from the imprint field to a first offset location wherein the outer boundaries of the shaping surface are offset relative to the outer boundaries of the imprint field. Shaping the film may include curing a second portion of the formable material while the template is at the first offset location so as to form the shaped film.

    摘要: An imprint apparatus cures an imprint material by irradiating the imprint material with light while the imprint material on a substrate is in contact with a pattern region of a mold. The imprint apparatus includes a first supply unit configured to supply a first gas to a gap between the substrate and the mold, the first gas accelerating filling of recessed portions of the pattern region with the imprint material, and a second supply unit configured to supply a second gas to the gap, the second gas inhibiting curing of the imprint material.

    摘要: A forming apparatus includes a substrate holder having a plurality of chucking regions that chuck a lower surface of the substrate and configured to hold the substrate by chucking the substrate with the plurality of chucking regions, and a controller configured to control execution of a forming process and independently control a chucking force of each of the plurality of chucking regions. The controller controls a chucking force of each of the plurality of chucking regions in a mold separation step so as to make a final mold separation point, at which the mold finally separates from the composition, coincide with a center of a pattern surface of the mold.
