1. A method of forming an imprint template, the method comprising:
using a master imprint template to imprint a pattern into a first imprintable medium layer overlying an inorganic release layer, wherein the inorganic release layer overlies a substrate without an organic material layer between the inorganic release layer and the substrate at the time of imprinting; causing the first imprintable medium to solidify; and etching the first imprintable medium and the inorganic release layer to form a pattern in the inorganic release layer of the imprint template, the imprint template configured to imprint a second imprintable medium in a sub-micron imprint lithography process, and the pattern of the inorganic release layer having a sub-micron protrusion to directly contact the second imprintable medium and the inorganic release layer is formed from one of: SiNx, AlNx, TiNx, TiOx, AlOx, TaOx, or GaNx. |
