ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes an imprint lithography system for impinging a flux of light upon a liquid to polymerize the liquid, the system including, a source of light producing the flux of light; and a template having overlay marks being disposed between the liquid and the source of light and being opaque to the flux of light, with a pitch of the overlay marks establishing a polarization of the flux of light such that the flux of light impinges upon and polymerizes the liquid in superimposition with the overlay marks.
