A system and method for patterning a substrate includes a mold holding fixture for holding a mold with nanostructures and a substrate holding fixture for holding a substrate having a molding surface, a stage assembly has two or more independent axis movements for moving either the mold or the substrate therein, a contact force sensor sensing a contact force between the mold surface and the molding surface, a chamber for holding the mold and substrate and for the applying of a pressure inside that is higher or lower than atmospheric pressure, a pressure regulator and a manifold for changing the pressure inside the chamber, a door on the chamber housing provides for selectively allowing the substrate and the mold to pass there through, and means to divide the chamber into two fluidly separate sub-chambers. |
