Patent ID: 7744358

Claim:
A pattern transfer apparatus for putting a transfer die having a concavo-convex pattern against a transfer target on a substrate to transfer the concavo-convex pattern onto a surface of said transfer target, wherein at least part of said transfer die is made of a ferromagnetic material; the pattern transfer apparatus comprising: first pressing means for putting the transfer die onto the surface of said transfer target, said first pressing means including magnetic force generating means for generating a magnetic force and having at least two or more electromagnets which are provided to near said substrate; wherein said magnetic force generating means applies a magnetic force to said transfer die with said substrate interposed therebetween, thereby pressing said transfer die against said substrate, the pattern transfer apparatus further comprising second pressing means for pressing said transfer die against a transfer target on said substrate uniformly, wherein said second pressing means includes: pressure applying means; and a balloon for transmitting a pressure of said pressure applying means to said transfer die.
