INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MOLDING APPARATUS, MOLDING METHOD, AND ARTICLE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17860336 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MOLDING APPARATUS, MOLDING METHOD, AND ARTICLE MANUFACTURING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is an information processing apparatus that analyzes the contact state between a mold and a composition on a substrate. The apparatus includes a processing unit that performs a process of outputting information indicating the contact state.
- The processing unit obtains a plurality of points that represent the contour shape of the area where the mold and the composition on the substrate are in contact with each other.
- The plurality of points are obtained during the contact process and mold releasing process.
- Based on the obtained points, the processing unit outputs information indicating the contact state between the mold and the composition.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Quality control in manufacturing processes involving molds and compositions on substrates.
- Monitoring the contact state during the production of electronic components or microdevices.
- Optimizing the mold releasing process to improve efficiency and reduce defects.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures accurate analysis of the contact state between the mold and the composition on the substrate.
- Provides real-time information on the contact state, allowing for immediate adjustments or interventions if necessary.
- Reduces the risk of defects or errors in the manufacturing process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improves the overall quality and reliability of products by ensuring proper contact between the mold and the composition.
- Enhances efficiency by optimizing the mold releasing process based on real-time information.
- Reduces the need for manual inspection and intervention, saving time and resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including a processing unit configured to perform a process of outputting information indicating a contact state between a mold and a composition on a substrate, wherein the processing unit obtains a plurality of points representing a contour shape of a portion where the mold and the composition on the substrate are in contact with each other while at least one process of a contact process and a mold releasing process is performed, and outputs the information indicating the contact state based on the plurality of points.
