    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 method and system features an active compliant pin chuck to hold a substrate, having opposed first and second surfaces, and compensates for non-planarity in one of the surfaces of the substrate. To that end, the support system includes a chuck having a plurality of piezo pins and reference pins, with the piezo pins being coupled to piezo actuators to undergo relative movement with respect to said reference pins. These and other embodiments are discussed more fully below.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to providing a template with alignment marks that are opaque to selective wavelength of light. In one embodiment, a template is provided having patterning areas and a template, with the template mark being formed from metal and disposed outside of the patterning areas. The alignment marks may be surrounded by a moat to prevent curable liquid from being in superimposition therewith during imprinting. In this manner, opaque alignment marks may be employed without degrading the quality of the pattern formed during imprinting.

    摘要: The present invention includes a conforming template for patterning liquids disposed on substrates. The template includes a body having opposed first and second surfaces. The first surface includes a plurality of recessed regions with a patterning region being disposed between adjacent recessed regions. Specifically, the recessed regions define flexure regions about which each patterning region may move independent of the remaining patterning regions of the template. In one embodiment the template is mounted to a fluid chamber having an inlet and a throughway. The template is connected to the throughway and the inlet is connected to a fluid source to facilitate deformation of the template to conform to a profile of a surface adjacent thereto.

    摘要: The present invention is directed toward a system to vary dimensions of a template in order to attenuate if not prevent distortions in an underlying pattern formed by the template. To that end, the system features a compression device that includes a pair of spaced-apart contact members to compress a perimeter surface of the template between the pair of spaced-apart contact members. The compression device includes first and second bodies, each has a contact member and an actuator arm. One of the actuator arms is coupled to the first body to reciprocate about an axis in response to variations of a volume of a bladder disposed adjacent to the actuator arm. In this manner, the distance between the two contact members may be varied.
