A system for controlling a volume of liquid on a mold that features a body defining a volume with an aperture formed into the body and positioned proximate to the mold. A pump system is in fluid communication with the body, and the aperture and the pump system are established to create a stream of fluid moving between the mold and the volume. In this manner a quantity of fluid is removed while retained upon the mold is a desired portion of the fluid to undertake imprint lithographic processes.

The present invention is directed toward a method of controlling a turbulent flow of a fluid between a substrate and a template, and more specifically, controlling a turbulent flow of a fluid between droplets disposed on a substrate and a template. To that end, the method further comprises the ingression and egression of the fluid through a first and second aperture, and in a further embodiment, a plurality of apertures, to create such a turbulent flow of the fluid.

The present invention is directed toward a method for reducing pattern distortions in imprinting layers by reducing gas pockets present in a layer of viscous liquid deposited on a substrate. To that end, the method includes varying a transport of the gases disposed proximate to the viscous liquid. Specifically, the atmosphere proximate to the substrate wherein a pattern is to be recorded is saturated with gases that are either highly soluble, highly diffusive, or both with respect to the viscous liquid being deposited. Additionally, or in lieu of saturating the atmosphere, the pressure of the atmosphere may be reduced.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of controlling the distribution of a fluid on a body that features compensating for varying distribution of constituent components of a composition that moved over a surface of a substrate. To that end, the method includes generating a sequence of patterns of liquid upon a substrate, each of which includes a plurality of spaced-apart liquid regions, with voids being defined between adjacent liquid regions. A second of the patterns of liquid of the sequence is arranged so that the liquid regions associated therewith are in superimposition with the voids of a first of the patterns of liquid of the sequence.

The present invention is directed to a template that features a control surface extending from a periphery of a mold toward a recessed surface of the template forming an oblique angle between a portion of the control surface disposed proximate to the periphery.
摘要:
A method of depositing material upon a substrate features filling recesses of a substrate with liquid and removing material present on the substrate, outside of the recesses using fluid, i.e., apply a vacuum of a jet of fluid. To that end, one method of the present invention includes depositing a measure of liquid upon a surface of a substrate having a recess formed therein to ingress into a volume of the recess with a portion of the liquid. A quantity of the liquid is disposed upon regions of the surface proximate to the recess. Thereafter, the quantity of liquid is removed while maintaining the portion within the volume. In this manner, the portion may be transferred onto an additional substrate. More specifically, the portion may be placed in contact with a layer of flowable material and cross-linking therewith by exposing the liquid and the flowable material to actinic radiation.

The present invention includes a method and a composition to form a layer on a substrate having uniform etch characteristics. To that end, the method includes controlling variations in the characteristics of a solid layer, such etch characteristics over the area of the solid layer as a function of the relative rates of evaporation of the liquid components that comprise the composition from which the solid layer is formed.
