Patent ID: 8047835

Claim:
A fine structure pattern transcription apparatus for transcribing a shape of a surface of a stamper on a transcription surface of a transcription object by pressing the stamper on the transcription object, the fine structure pattern transcription apparatus comprising: a plate surface which faces one of the stamper and the transcription object; a pressure plate having opposed first and second major surfaces, the first major surface being configured to contact the other of the stamper and the transcription object at a contact area, wherein an area of first major surface of the pressure plate is larger than the contact area; and a fluid blowing surface configured to supply the fluid on the second major surface of the pressure plate, wherein the plate surface, the pressure plate and the fluid blowing surface are provided in an inner space of a chamber of the fine structure pattern transcription apparatus and are configured such that the fluid blown out from the fluid blowing surface flows into the inner space through a gap between the fluid blowing surface and the second major surface of the pressure plate, wherein the pressure plate is free of holes communicating between the first and second major surfaces where the first major surface is configured to come into contact with the other of the stamper and the transcription object at the contact area.
