A process for patterning a non-rigid membrane in a closed gap environment including the optional step of applying a solvent to the non-rigid membrane, applying a layer of an energy-sensitive composition to the non-rigid membrane, spinning the non-rigid membrane, inverting the non-rigid membrane with the layer of an energy-sensitive composition, spinning the inverted non-rigid membrane, re-inverting the non-rigid membrane, and spinning the re-inverted, non-rigid membrane. As a result of the inverting step and the inverted spinning step, the layer of an energy-sensitive composition does not cause the non-rigid membrane to sag and the resulting layer of energy-sensitive composition is substantially uniform in thickness. The energy-sensitive composition may be a photoresist, such as a chemically amplified photoresist.
