Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an embodiment, there is provided an imprint lithography method that includes providing a first amount of imprintable medium on a first area of a substrate, the first amount of imprintable medium, when fixed, having a first etch rate; and providing a second amount of imprintable medium on a second, different area of the substrate, the second amount of imprintable medium, when fixed, having a second, different etch rate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An imprint lithography method comprising: providing a substrate having (i) a first amount of imprintable medium for nanoimprint lithography on a first area of the substrate, the first amount of imprintable medium, when fixed, having a first etch rate as a physical characteristic thereof, and having (ii) a second amount of imprintable medium for nanoimprint lithography on a second area of the substrate different from the first area of the substrate, the…
