Abstract

A method of planarizing a substrate comprises dispensing formable material onto a substrate, contacting, at a planarizing station at a first location, a superstrate held by a superstrate chuck with the formable material on the substrate, thereby forming a multilayer structure including the superstrate, a film of the formable material, and the substrate, releasing the superstrate from the superstrate chuck, moving the multilayer structure from the first location to a curing station located at a second location away from the first location, the curing station including an array of light-emitting diodes, and curing the film of the multilayer structure by exposing the film to light emitted from the array of light-emitting diodes.
