Patent ID: 7432024

Claim:
A method for making a device comprising the steps of: coating a substrate with a radiation sensitive material layer; providing a lithographic template; wherein the lithographic template comprises; a substrate having a surface; a transparent conductive layer, deposited using a pressure less than 6m Torr, on the surface of the substrate; and an etched patterning layer formed on a surface of the transparent conductive layer, the etched patterning layer having defined therein a relief image; positioning the lithographic template in contact with the radiation sensitive material layer, the radiation sensitive material layer being between the template and the substrate; applying pressure to the template, the radiation sensitive material thereby flowing into the relief pattern on the template; transmitting radiation through the lithographic template to expose at least a portion of the radiation sensitive material layer on the substrate, thereby further affecting the pattern in the radiation sensitive material layer; and removing the template from the substrate.
