The present invention relates to a capacitive measurement method and
system for a nanoimprint process, which arranges a plurality of electrode
plates on both the backside of the master mold and the surface of the
supporting base carrying the wafer substrate to form a plurality of
capacitive structures. By monitoring the capacitance variation signal
caused by the continuous variations in the thickness and the material
properties of the resist during the imprint process, the status of the
resist can be monitored and recorded, which is used as the references for
determining the timing to demold in the nanoimprint process and for
maintaining the flatness of the resist. Accordingly, the nanoimprint
process can be automated easier and the quality and the throughput of of
the nanometer scaled imprint product can be improved.
