Patent ID: 7754131

Claim:
A device for transferring a pattern of micro- and nanostructures to an object, said object having a first surface and a second surface, said device comprising a first contacting means having a first stamp adapted to imprint a first pattern in the first surface of the object, and a pressing means adapted to press the first stamp into contact with the first surface of the object in a pressing direction, an alignment means arranged in connection with the first contacting means for controlling the motion of the first stamp in a direction perpendicular to the pressing direction, and a second contacting means having a second stamp adapted to imprint a second pattern in the second surface of the object, and the pressing means further adapted to press the second stamp into contact with the second surface of the object parallel to the pressing direction, wherein a heat transmission barrier is arranged between the first contacting means and the pressing means to minimize heat transfer therebetween, wherein the alignment means comprises an arm, which protrudes from at least the first contacting means to a rail in the pressing direction adapted to a stationery support, and wherein the arm is arranged to slide in the pressing direction on the rail.
