    摘要: The present invention is directed toward a system to vary dimensions of a substrate, such as a template having a patterned mold. To that end, the system includes a substrate chuck adapted to position the substrate in a region; a pliant member; and an actuator sub-assembly elastically coupled to the substrate chuck through the pliant member. The actuator assembly includes a plurality of lever sub-assemblies, one of which includes a body lying in the region and spaced-apart from an opposing body associated with one of the remaining lever sub-assemblies of the plurality of lever sub-assemblies. One of the plurality of lever assemblies is adapted to vary a distance between the body and the opposing body. In this manner, compressive forces may be applied to the template to remove unwanted magnification or other distortions in the pattern on the mold. The pliant member is configured to attenuate a magnitude of resulting forces sensed by the substrate chuck generated in response to the compressive forces.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of controlling dimensional relations between an original pattern present in a mold and a recorded pattern formed in a layer of a substrate. In this manner, the size of the recorded pattern may appear to be magnified and/or reduced, when compared to the original pattern. To that end, the method comprises defining a region on the layer in which to produce the recorded pattern. The substrate is bent to produce a contoured surface in the region. Dimensional variations in the original pattern are produced by bending the mold, defining a varied pattern. The contoured surface and the mold are provided to have similar radii of curvatures. The varied pattern is then recorded in the layer. These and other embodiments of the present invention are discussed more fully below.
