  • Publication number: 20230390993
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an imprint device that can form a circuit pattern with high accuracy even if a deviation occurs in a positional relationship between the circuit pattern and an alignment mark. The imprint device performs an imprinting process in which a mold on which a pattern is formed is brought in contact with an imprint material on a substrate and the pattern is transferred to the substrate at a target position on the substrate, and includes an alignment unit that performs alignment of the mold with the substrate such that the mold and the substrate are at an alignment position corrected based on an amount of relative positional deviation between a pattern mark formed near the pattern of the mold and an alignment mark of the mold obtained by measuring the pattern mark and the alignment mark, and a curing unit that cures the imprint material at the position at which alignment is performed by the alignment unit.

  • Patent number: 10989794
    Abstract: Scanning optical system, comprising a rotatable mirror unit including first and second mirror surfaces each inclining relative to a rotation axis, and a light projecting system including a light source which emits light flux toward an object through the mirror unit. The light flux is reflected on the first mirror surface, then to the second mirror surface, and projected so as to scan on the object correspondingly to rotation of the mirror unit. The mirror unit includes multiples pairs of the first and second mirror surfaces, and the respective intersection angles of the multiples pairs are different from each other. In one rotation of the mirror unit, light flux emitted from the light source is reflected on the second mirror surfaces, and is projected sequentially, thereby to scan a measurement range in which the object is measured. Length in a sub scanning direction of the light flux and intersection angles of the multiples pairs correspond to length in a sub scanning direction of the measurement range.
