    摘要： A reference image of an area of a print media is captured at approximately a first time by an image acquisition system. A first application of ink is applied onto the print media area by a printing assembly at the first time. A comparison image of the print media area is captured at a second time by the image acquisition system subsequent to the first application of ink onto the print media area. The reference image and the comparison image are processed to determine a relative displacement of a feature pattern on the print media between approximately the first time and the second time. A second application of ink from the printing assembly onto the print media is adjusted based on the determination.

    摘要： Determining a dimensional change in a surface of an object is described. At a first time, a first image of the surface is acquired at a first spatial window thereon having a first known position relative to a frame of reference. At a second time, a second image of the surface is acquired at a second spatial window thereon having a second known position relative to the frame of reference. The first image and the second image are processed according to an image displacement sensing algorithm to determine a relative translation of a first point on the surface between the first and second times. The relative translation of the first point, the first known position, and the second known position are used to determine the dimensional change in the surface between the first and second times.

    摘要： A contact lithography alignment system and method use nanoscale displacement sensing and estimation (nDSE) to maintain an alignment and compensate for a disturbance of one or more objects during contact lithography. A method of maintaining an alignment includes establishing an initial alignment of one or more objects and employing nDSE-based feedback control of relative positions of more or more of the objects to maintain the alignment during contact lithography. A method of disturbance compensation includes acquiring a first image, acquiring a second image, estimating an alignment error using nDSE applied to the first and second image, and adjusting a relative position to reduce the alignment error. A contact lithography system includes an optical sensor, a feedback processor providing nDSE and a position controller that adjusts relative positions of one or more objects to reduce an alignment error determined using the nDSE.

    摘要： Methods of performing lithography include calculating a displacement vector for a lithography tool using an image of a portion of the lithography tool and a portion of a substrate and an additional image of a portion of an additional lithography tool and a portion of the substrate. Methods of aligning objects include positioning a second object proximate a first object and acquiring a first image illustrating a feature on a surface of the second object and a feature on a surface of the first object. An additional object is positioned proximate the first object, and an additional image is acquired that illustrates a feature on a surface of the additional object and the feature on the surface of the first object. The additional image is compared with the first image. Imprint molds include at least one non-marking reference feature on an imprinting surface of a mode base.

The data acquisition system is configured to capture a first frame from a first substrate including a first pattern and a second substrate including a second pattern at a first time and capture a second frame from a third substrate including a third pattern and a fourth substrate including a fourth pattern at a second time subsequent to the first time. The first pattern and the third pattern are substantially identical, and the second pattern and the fourth pattern are substantially identical. The processing system is configured to calculate a first displacement between the first pattern and the third pattern using the first frame and the second frame and calculate a second displacement between the second pattern and the fourth pattern using the first frame and the second frame.

    摘要： Determining a displacement of a substantially rigid item relative to a frame of reference between a first time and a second time is described. At the first time, a first set of pointwise measurements of a physical property of the item taken at a plurality of fixed locations relative to the frame of reference is acquired. At the second time, a second set of pointwise measurements of the physical property taken at the plurality of fixed locations is acquired. A first matrix derived from the first set of pointwise measurements is compared to a second matrix derived from the second set of pointwise measurements to determine the displacement.

    摘要： A measurement process or system transforms image data corresponding to images of an object to the frequency domain and analyzes the frequency domain data to determine a displacement of the object occurring between first and second images. Analysis in the frequency domain simplifies identification and handling of data expected to be noisy. In particular, frequencies corresponding to modes of vibration, lighting variation, or sensor error characteristic of a measurement system or frequencies corresponding to small magnitude frequency-domain data can be given little or no weighting in analysis that provides the displacement measurement. In one embodiment, Fourier transforms of shifted and unshifted images differ by a phase delay. A least square fit slope of the phase values associated with the phase delay can indicate displacements to accuracies less than 1% of a pixel width, thereby providing nanometer scale precision using imaging systems having a pixel width of about 1 μm.
