Abstract:
1. An imprinting apparatus comprising: a stamper having a concavo-convex configuration on a surface thereof; an transferred object, onto a surface of which the concavo-convex configuration is transferred; and an energy source which irradiates the transferred object with energy, wherein the imprinting apparatus is arranged to detach the stamper from the transferred object, the imprinting apparatus comprising: planar pressurizing means which pressurizes a first reverse surface of at least one of the stamper and the transferred object with a planar pressurizing body having a flat surface configuration; fluid pressurizing means which pressurizes a second reverse surface of at least one of the stamper and the transferred object with a fluid; and control means which controls timing of pressurization by the planar pressurizing means and the fluid pressurizing means, wherein the control means implements control to maintain the pressurization approximately at a predetermined pressure when transition from the planar pressurizing means to the fluid pressurizing means takes place.
