    摘要: A method for fabricating patterns. An inverse optimization scheme is implemented to determine process parameters used to obtain a desired film thickness of a liquid resist formulation, where the liquid resist formulation includes a solvent and one or more non-solvent components. A substrate is covered with a substantially continuous film of the liquid resist formulation using one or more of the following techniques: dispensing discrete drops of a diluted monomer on the substrate using an inkjet and allowing the dispensed drops to spontaneously spread and merge, slot die coating and spin-coating. The liquid resist formulation is diluted in the solvent. The solvent is then substantially evaporated from the liquid resist formulation forming a film. A gap between a template and the substrate is then closed. The film is cured to polymerize the film and the substrate is separated from the template leaving the polymerized film on the substrate.
