摘要:
An imprint lithography template may be used to form an imprinted layer in a light curable liquid disposed on a substrate. During use, the template may be disposed within a template holder. The template holder may include a body with an opening configured to receive the template, a support plate, and an actuator system coupled to the body. The actuator system may be configured to alter a physical dimension of the template during use.

Disclosed herein is an automatic fluid dispensing method and system for dispensing fluid on the surface of a plate-like material, or substrate, including a semiconductor wafer for imprint lithography processes. The dispensing method uses fluid dispenser and a substrate stage that may generate relative lateral motions between a fluid dispenser tip a substrate. Also described herein are methods and devices for creating a planar surface on a substrate using a substantially unpatterned planar template.

A structure and a method for forming the same. The method comprises providing a structure including (a) a hole layer, (b) a BARC (bottom antireflective coating) layer on the top of the hole layer, and (c) a patterned photoresist layer on top of the BARC layer and having a photoresist hole; etching the BARC layer through the photoresist hole to extend the photoresist hole to the hole layer; performing the chemical shrinking process to shrink the extended photoresist hole; and etching the hole layer through the shrunk, extended photoresist hole so as to form a hole in the hole layer.

The present invention includes a method of moving a liquid between a substrate extending in a first plane and a template extending in a second plane. More specifically, the method may include forming an oblique angle between the first plane and the second plane, reducing a distance between the substrate and the template such that the template is in contact with a portion of the liquid at a desired location, and creating a dispersion of the liquid away from the desired location.

A stray light feedback system and method for a lithography exposure tool. The stray light feedback helps control critical dimension (CD) within a stray light specification limit. A stray light dose control factor is calculated as a function of the stray light measured in the exposure tool and the sensitivity of the resist. The stray light dose control factor is used to adjust the exposure dose to achieve the desired CD. The stray light may be monitored, and if a threshold level of stray light is reached or exceeded, the use of the exposure tool may be discontinued for a particular type of semiconductor product, resist, or mask level, until the lens system is cleaned.

A system for providing users with electronic access to multiple electronic collaboration services via a single electronic work center with a single user home page is disclosed that provides routing of users amongst multiple electronic work centers, each with access to a centralized electronic signature service. User information remains accessible from the user's home page while the user accessed functionality in other work centers can be controlled according to the access and authority credentials and rules specified by each third party work center administrator. In addition, electronic signatures can be applied in the work center environment, including via integrated audio and web conferencing with document management. The work center environment can be used to manage an electronic document to be electronically signed by any number of individuals in remote locations, with any of these signings being performed on a single computer in a single location hosted by an independent third.

The present invention pertains to disposing a diamond-like composition on a template, wherein the diamond-like composition acts as a release layer. The diamond-like composition is substantially transparent to actinic radiation, e.g., ultraviolet (UV) light, and will also have a desired surface energy, wherein the desired surface energy minimizes adhesion between the template and an underlying material disposed on a substrate. The diamond-like composition is characterized with a low surface energy that exhibits desirable release characteristics.
摘要:
The present invention includes a method of determining an alignment between a substrate and a template spaced-apart from the substrate and having a distance defined therebetween, the substrate having a first pattern disposed thereon and the template having a second pattern disposed thereon, the method including, sensing the first and the second pattern, with the distance being established such that the first and the second pattern form a desired moiré pattern when the template and the substrate are in a desired spatial relationship.
