Imprint lithography mask trimming for imprint mask using etch

摘要

Disclosed are photolithographic systems and methods, and more particularly systems and methodologies that enhance imprint mask feature resolution. An aspect generates feedback information that facilitates control of imprint mask feature size and resolution via employing a scatterometry system to detect resolution enhancement need, and decreasing imprint mask feature size and increasing resolution of the imprint mask via a trim etch procedure.
