Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for planarization of a substrate. Material is dispensed onto the substrate that varies depending upon the substrate topography variation. A superstrate is brought into contact with the material, the material takes on a shape of the superstrate. The material is solidified. The superstrate is lifted away from the solidified material. Material has a first shrinkage coefficient. Second material is dispensed onto the solidified material with an average thickness. The average thickness is greater than a second material thickness threshold that is dependent upon step height of the substrate and the first shrinkage coefficient. The second material is then solidified.

Claim (Index 14):
A planarization apparatus, wherein the planarization apparatus is configured to planarize a substrate, wherein a substrate surface of the substrate has a substrate topography variation, wherein the substrate topography variation includes a plurality of steps and a plurality of trenches, wherein a substrate step among the plurality of steps has a substrate step height, the substrate surface includes a substrate trench among the plurality of trenches that is adjacent to the substrate step, wherein the substrate trench has a trench width, comprising:\n a first dispenser for dispensing a first material onto the surface of the substrate, wherein a volume of the first material varies across the substrate surface depending upon the substrate topography variation; a superstrate chuck configure to hold a superstrate, wherein the superstrate is brought into contact with the first material such that the first material takes on a shape of the superstrate; a first means for solidifying the first material; wherein the superstrate is configured to be lifted away from the solidified first material after the first material is solidified; a second dispenser for dispensing a second material onto the solidified first material; and a second means for solidifying the second material.
