    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for dispensing a plurality of spaced-apart droplets of liquid a substrate that features minimizing the distance liquid in the droplets must travel to reach an adjacent droplet to form a contiguous lay of the liquid on the substrate. As a result, when patterning the droplets with a patterned template, the time required to fill the features of the pattern and to cover the substrate is minimized. This increases the throughput of the imprinting process. To that end, the method includes disposing a plurality of spaced-apart droplets on the substrate, each of which has a unit volume associated therewith. A spacing between adjacent droplets of a subset of the plurality of droplets is selected to be a function of a smallest unit volume associated with the subset.

    摘要: The present invention provides a technique for determining characteristics of substrates, such as the presence of contaminants, shape, as well as the spatial relationships between spaced-apart substrates. The spatial relationships include distance and angular orientation, between first and second spaced apart substrates. The technique includes forming a volume of fluid on the second substrate, with the volume of fluid having an area associated therewith. The volume of fluid is compressed between the first and second substrates to effectuate a change in properties of the area, defining changed properties. The changed properties are sensed, and the characteristics of the first and second substrates are determined as a function of the changed properties.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of applying an adhesion primer layer for an imprint lithography process that includes contacting a fluid with a surface of a substrate in a coating process and initiating a chemical reaction that forms a covalent bond between a component in the fluid and the surface of the substrate such that an adhesion primer layer is adhered to the surface of the substrate. A polymeric layer may be adhered to the surface of the substrate coated with the adhesion primer layer. The method allows adhesion primer coating for double-sided imprinting applications including patterned magnetic media.

    摘要: The present invention features a method of patterning a substrate that includes forming, on the substrate, a first layer having a first pattern and selectively shifting in tone, as well as along a first direction, a subsequent pattern formed into the same layer that corresponds to the first pattern. To that end, one method of the present invention includes generating into the first layer, a second pattern having a shape inverse to the first pattern. A third pattern is then transferred into the first layer that has a shape inverse to the second pattern.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a template having a body including a surface with first and second regions. The first region has first wetting characteristics for a given material and the second region has second wetting characteristics for the given material. The first wetting characteristics differ from the second wetting characteristics. Specifically, the first region is formed from a surface treatment layer with a first surface energy to provide the first wetting characteristics. The second region is exposed portions of the body, typically quartz of fused silica, having a second surface energy associated therewith. The second surface energy is greater than the first surface energy to provide the second region with the second wetting characteristics.
