摘要: An imprint method includes: before contacting a mold with an imprint material on a target shot region, obtaining relative position of the target shot region with respect to the mold, and performing first alignment between the target shot region and the mold by driving a correction unit configured to correct the relative position of the target shot region; after contacting the mold with the imprint material on the target shot region, performing second alignment between the target shot region and the mold by driving the correction unit; and performing the imprint process on the target shot region after the second alignment. The first alignment includes alignment performed based on a driving amount of the correction unit in the second alignment for another shot region where the imprint process has been performed earlier than in the target shot region.

摘要: The present invention provides an imprint apparatus including an amplifier configured to amplify a signal of displacement between a mold and a substrate, and a control unit configured to perform alignment between the mold and the substrate based on the amplified signal, wherein the control unit performs the alignment through a first operation of moving the substrate with respect to the mold in a first direction and a second operation of moving the substrate with respect to the mold in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and in the first operation, the control unit sets the gain of the amplifier to a first gain and changes the gain of the amplifier from the first gain to a second gain.

摘要: A method is disclosed that includes forming at least one substrate alignment mark and at least one lithography alignment mark in a substrate; forming a seed layer on the substrate; and forming a guide pattern and at least one guide pattern alignment mark in the seed layer, where the at least one guide pattern alignment mark is formed over the at least one substrate alignment mark. The method further includes determining an alignment error of the at least one guide pattern alignment mark relative to the at least one substrate alignment mark; and patterning features on at least one region of the substrate, where the features are positioned on the substrate based on the at least one lithography alignment mark and the alignment error.

摘要: A method of determining a position of an imprint template in an imprint lithography apparatus is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes illuminating an area of the imprint template in which an alignment mark is expected to be found by scanning an alignment radiation beam over that area, detecting an intensity of radiation reflected or transmitted from the area, and identifying the alignment mark via analysis of the detected intensity.

摘要: A method of forming patterns is provided. The method includes forming a resist layer on a substrate, imprinting transfer patterns of a template on the resist layer, performing an alignment operation to correct a position of the substrate or the template, increasing a viscosity of the resist layer while the alignment operation is performed, and curing the resist layer after the alignment operation terminates.
