Patent ID: 7195734

Claim:
Device for nanoimprint lithography, which device comprises a first main part with a first principally plane surface and a second main part with a second principally plane surface, said first surface and second surface being opposite to one another and being arranged in principle parallel in relation to one another, with an adjustable interval between them, and said first surface being arranged to form a support for a substrate and said second surface being arranged to form a support for a template or template assembly wherein said second main part also comprises a cavity for a medium, and means for adjusting a pressure of said medium to a pressure within the range of 1–500 bar positive pressure, a wall of said cavity consisting of a flexible membrane, of which one side, which side faces away from the cavity, forms said second surface entirely supporting said template or template assembly, said template or template assembly being supported only by said membrane and said pressure medium therebehind during nanoimprinting.
