TECHNIQUE FOR SEPARATING A MOLD FROM SOLIDIFIED IMPRINTING MATERIAL

摘要

A method for spreading a conformable material between a substrate and a template having a mold, said method comprising: positioning said mold (36, 136, 236) to be in superimposition with said substrate (42) defining a volume therebetween; charging a first sub-portion of said volume with said conformable material (46) through capillary action between said conformable material (46) and one of said mold (36, 136, 236) and said substrate (42); and filling a second sub-portion of said volume by creating a deformation in said mold (36, 136, 236).
