    摘要: An imprint lithography method is disclosed for forming a patterned layer from an imprintable liquid medium on a substrate by means of an imprint template having a patterned surface. The method involves contacting the patterned surface and imprintable liquid medium together for a filling period. Light emergent (e.g., scattered or reflected) from an interface between the medium and the patterned surface is collected and measured during the filling period to obtain data concerning one or more voids at the interface, and an estimated end time for the filling period is derived from a relationship between the data and time. The method may allow subsequent process steps to be undertaken more rapidly, with reduced risk of defects arising from remnants of unfilled voids. An imprint lithography apparatus and component for putting the method into effect are also disclosed.

    摘要: An imprint lithography method is provided. The method includes undertaking first and second imprints, which comprises for each imprint: for an area of a substrate provided with a plurality of drops of imprintable medium in respectively first and second configurations, imprinting a pattern in the imprintable medium using a same imprint template, pockets being formed between the drops of the imprintable medium, the imprint template and the substrate during the imprinting of the pattern, wherein the first configuration of drops of imprintable medium is different from the second configuration of drops of imprintable medium, such that pockets formed during the second imprint are formed at different locations relative to the imprint template to pockets formed during the first imprint.

    摘要: A method of depositing an imprintable medium onto a target area of a substrate for imprint lithography is disclosed. The method includes moving the substrate, a print head comprising a nozzle to eject an imprintable medium onto the substrate, or both, relative to the other in a first direction across the target area while ejecting a first series of droplets of imprintable medium onto the substrate and moving the substrate, the print head, or both, relative to the other in a second opposing direction across the target area while ejecting a second series of droplets of imprintable medium onto the substrate on or adjacent to droplets from the first series of droplets.
