The present is directed towards an imprint lithography system including, inter alia, a docking plate; a motion stage having a range of motion associated therewith, the range of motion having a periphery spaced-apart from the docking plate a first distance; and a body, having first and second opposed sides spaced-apart a second distance, selectively coupled between the docking plate and the motion stage, the first distance being greater than the second distance to minimize a probability of a collision between the docking plate, the motion stage and the body while transferring the body between the docking plate and the motion stage.

The present is directed towards a method of transferring a body between a motion stage and a docking system, the method including, inter alia, positioning the body between the motion stage and the docking system, with the motion stage being spaced-apart from the docking system a distance; and transferring a coupling of the body between the motion stage and the docking system, with the distance being established to minimize a probability of a collision between any of the docking system, the motion stage and the body while transferring the body between the docking system and the motion stage.
摘要:
The present invention features a method to determine relative spatial parameters between two coordinate systems, which may be a mold and a region of a substrate in which mold is employed to generate a pattern. The method includes sensing relative alignment between the two coordinate systems at multiple points and determines relative spatial parameters therebetween. The relative spatial parameters include a relative area and a relative shape.

The present invention is directed towards a method of retaining a substrate to a wafer chuck. The method features accelerating a portion of the substrate toward the wafer chuck, generating a velocity of travel of the substrate toward the wafer chuck, and reducing the velocity before the substrate reaches the wafer chuck. In this manner, the force of impact of the portion with the wafer chuck is greatly reduced, which is believed to reduce the probability that the structural integrity of the substrate, and layers on the substrate and/or the wafer chuck, are damaged.

The present invention is directed to providing a method and system to measure characteristics of a film disposed on a substrate. The method includes identifying a plurality of processing regions on the film; measuring characteristics of a subset of the plurality of processing regions, defining measured characteristics; determining a variation of one of the measured characteristics; and associating a cause of the variations based upon a comparison of the one of the measured characteristics to measured characteristics associated with the remaining processing regions of the subset. The system carries out the aforementioned method.

The present invention is directed towards a chucking system, including, inter alia, a body having a surface with a pin extending therefrom having a throughway defined therein, and a land surrounding the protrusions defining a channel between the pin and the land. In a further embodiment, the body comprises a plurality of protrusions.

The present invention is directed towards a method of separating a mold, included in a template, from a layer disposed on a substrate, the method including, inter alia, applying a separation force to the template to separate the template from the layer; and facilitating localized deformation in the substrate to reduce the separation force required to achieve separation.
