Abstract

A pattern forming apparatus includes a drawing chamber having a drawing substrate on which an original pattern is drawn, a first temperature control unit having a first temperature regulator to make the temperature of the drawing chamber constant, and a constant-temperature member arranged near the drawing substrate. The pattern forming apparatus further includes a second temperature control unit having a second temperature regulator. The second temperature control unit is configured to control the set temperature of the constant-temperature member independently such that the temperature of the drawing substrate becomes substantially constant when the original pattern is drawn.
