    摘要: Imprint lithography templates having leading and trailing edge borders are provided that achieve zero-gap imprinting between adjacent fields with full-feature height features provided in the pattern exclusion zones (PEZ) located between such fields. The leading edge borders include dummy features, e.g., elongated features directionally oriented parallel to the mesa edge, while the trailing edge border includes a recess extending to the mesa edges. When used in a step-and-repeat process, the trailing edge border overlaps edge portions of an adjacent imprinted field that were previously patterned by the leading edge border of the template, producing full-feature height features in the pattern exclusion zones between such fields, and avoiding gaps or open areas between such fields that otherwise lead to non-uniformity of downstream processes such as etch processes and CMP.

    摘要: Nano imprint lithography templates for purging of fluid during nano imprint lithography processes are described. The templates may include an inner channel and an outer channel. The inner channel constructed to provide fluid communication with a process gas supply to a region between the template and a substrate during the nano imprint lithography process. The outer channel constructed to evacuate fluid and/or confine fluid between the active area of template and the substrate.
