    摘要: An imprint lithography system includes: a first chuck configured to support a first substrate; a first bushing surrounding the first chuck and configured to pneumatically suspend the first chuck laterally within the first bushing; one or more supportive mechanisms disposed beneath the first chuck and configured to support the first chuck vertically within the first bushing, wherein the first chuck is configured to be forced in a downward direction against first vertical resistive forces provided by the one or more supportive mechanisms, while the first chuck is suspended laterally within the first bushing and while the first chuck is maintained in the first fixed rotational orientation.

    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: A lithographic apparatus is disclosed that has a first substrate table arranged to hold a substrate and a second substrate table arranged to hold a substrate, an imprint template holder arranged to hold an imprint template, and an imprintable medium dispenser, wherein the first substrate table is moveable between a first position located at or adjacent to the imprintable medium dispenser, and a second position located at or adjacent to the imprint template holder, and the second substrate table is moveable between the first and second positions, such that the first and second substrate tables swap positions.

    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.
