| 20090273124 | NANOIMPRINTING METHOD AND MOLD FOR USE IN NANOIMPRINTING - A nanoimprinting method includes: forming at a region for performing a first nanoimprinting process on a substrate, a first patterning region with a first affinity to resin; forming at a region for performing a second nanoimprinting process on the substrate, a second patterning region with a second affinity to resin, the second affinity being lower than the first affinity; applying the resin to the first patterning region and transferring a pattern of a mold to the resin by the first nanoimprinting process; and modifying the second patterning region to a region with affinity to resin that is higher than the second affinity, then applying the resin to the modified region, and performing the second nanoimprinting process to process the second patterning region thereby connecting patterns formed at the first patterning region and the second patterning region to each other. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100072653 | IMPRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR - There is provided an imprinting apparatus that transfers a pattern of a mold to a resin on a substrate, the imprinting apparatus including a deposition mechanism configured to deposit the resin onto the substrate; a first driving mechanism configured to change a relative position, on a plane parallel to the surface of the substrate, of the substrate and the mold; a second driving mechanism configured to change the relative position, on a plane parallel to the surface of the substrate, of the substrate and the deposition mechanism; and a control unit configured to control the deposition mechanism and the driving mechanism so as to perform a resin deposition process of depositing the resin onto the substrate and an imprint process of transferring the pattern of the mold to the resin on the substrate in parallel. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100072664 | IMPRINT APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ARTICLE - An imprint apparatus for pressing resin and a mold to each other in a Z-axis direction to form a resin pattern on a shot region includes: a mold chuck; an X-Y stage; a reference mark formed on the stage; a first scope configured to measure a positional deviation in an x-y plane between a mold mark and the reference mark; a second scope configured to measure a position of a substrate mark in the plane not via the mold mark; and a dispenser configured to dispense resin. In the plane, the dispenser center is deviated in position from the mold chuck center by a first distance in a first direction, and the second scope center is deviated in position from the dispenser center by a distance smaller than twice the first distance in the first direction or a second direction opposite thereto. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100072667 | IMPRINTING METHOD - An imprinting method for depositing resins to a substrate, bringing a mold into contact with the resins, and transferring a pattern formed on the mold to the resins includes a first imprinting process for transferring the pattern to a first resin and a second imprinting process for forming the pattern on a second resin in an area adjacent to an area formed during the first imprinting process. The amount of the second resin to be deposited during the second imprinting process is different from that of the first resin used during the first imprinting process so that a gap between the area formed during the first imprinting process and an area to be formed during the second imprinting process is filled. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100078840 | IMPRINT APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ARTICLE - An apparatus for pressing resin on a shot region of a substrate and a mold to each other to form a resin pattern on the shot region, including: a mold chuck; an X-Y stage including a substrate chuck, the resin held by the substrate chuck and mold held by the mold chuck being pressed to each other in a Z-axis direction; a dispenser for dispensing the resin on the shot region; a scope for measuring, in an X-Y plane, a position of a substrate mark formed in each of a plurality of shot regions of the substrate held by the substrate chuck; and a reference mark formed on the X-Y stage. The X-Y stage has a moving range allowing the dispenser to dispense the resin on all shot regions of the substrate, and the position of the reference mark can be measured within the moving range of the X-Y stage. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20120113197 | RECORDING APPARATUS AND LIQUID EJECTION HEAD - A recording apparatus including an ink tank and a recording head having a flow path forming portion that has an ejection orifice plate having plural ink ejection orifices and a liquid chamber provided for each orifice to supply ink to the orifices, and an energy generating element for ejecting ink in the chamber. A surface layer of the flow path forming portion opposes to the outside of the plate. An opening is provided opposing to the orifices in the surface layer. An ink reservoir is provided between the plate and the opening. A circulation flow path communicating with the ink reservoir is provided. The area of the opening is larger than that of the orifice. Both ends of the circulation flow path are respectively connected to inlet and outlet portions connected to the circulation flow path. The inlet and outlet portions and liquid chamber are connected to the ink tank. | 05-10-2012 |
