Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Control of lateral strain and lateral strain ratio (d t /d b ) between template and substrate through the selection of template and/or substrate thicknesses (T t and/or T b ), control of template and/or substrate back pressure (P t and/or P b ), and/or selection of material stiffness are described.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. In a nanoimprint lithography system, a method comprising: providing a template in contact with a formed patterned layer on a substrate, the template and the substrate having lateral strains d t and d b associated therewith, respectively, when subjected to a separation force; determining the difference between the lateral strains d t and d b by either (i) measuring the lateral strain values during an initial separation, or (ii) modeling the lateral stra…
