  • Patent number: 10828666
    Abstract: A pattern imprint template incudes a patterned recesses and a layer formed over the patterned recesses. The pattern recesses form a pattern in a resist when brought in contact with a substrate with a resist thereon. The layer formed over the patterned recesses has a first surface energy. The first surface energy is lower in comparison to a second surface energy of the substrate with the resist thereon. The lower first surface energy in comparison to the second surface energy of the substrate avoids trapping gas in the resist by pushing gas toward the imprint template for venting through the patterned recesses.
