Abstract:
1. A processing apparatus configured to transfer a pattern of a mold onto a target member by pressing the mold against an adhesive resin applied to the target member and releasing the mold from the adhesive resin, said processing apparatus comprising: a first driver configured to hold the mold; a second driver configured to connect to the first driver via a spring; and a controller configured to control the second driver so that an absolute value of a second load changing rate is smaller than an absolute value of a first load changing rate, wherein the first load changing rate is a changing rate of a load generated between the mold and the adhesive resin when the second driver starts moving in a release direction releasing the mold from the adhesive resin, the first driver stops, and the mold contacts the adhesive resin, and wherein the second load changing rate is a changing rate of a load generated between the mold and the adhesive resin when the second driver continues moving in the release direction, the first driver starts moving in the release direction, and the mold separates from the adhesive resin.
