PATTERN TRANSFER APPARATUS AND PATTERN TRANSFER METHOD

摘要

A pattern transfer apparatus for pressing a mold having a fine concave/convex pattern onto a transferred material, peeling off the mold from the transferred material, and transferring the concave/convex pattern onto a surface of the transferred material includes: a pretreatment mechanism configured to perform a predetermined surface treatment to at least one of the mold and the transferred material before the concave/convex pattern is transferred; an information recording mechanism configured to record information of the surface treatment performed by the pretreatment mechanism at a position associated with an area of the transferred material where the concave/convex pattern is transferred onto the area; an interpretation mechanism configured to read the recorded information; and an after-treatment mechanism configured to perform a predetermined after-treatment to the area where the concave/convex pattern is transferred, based on the information interpreted by the interpretation mechanism.
