First Claim
Patent Images
1. A superstrate for forming a planarization layer by curing a formable material disposed on a substrate, the superstrate comprising:
- a body of the superstrate having a first diameter, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side; and
a mesa on the first side of the body, wherein the mesa has a second diameter, wherein a center point of the first diameter of the body is different from a center point of the second diameter of the mesa, wherein the mesa of the superstrate and the formable material on the substrate are in contact with each other while curing the formable material, and wherein the center point of the first diameter of the body is spaced apart from the center point of the second diameter of the mesa by at most 3 mm.

14. A superstrate for forming a planarization layer by curing a formable material disposed on a substrate, the superstrate comprising:
-
a body of the superstrate having a first diameter, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the body comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a glass-based material, spinel, fused-silica, silicon, quartz, organic polymers, siloxane polymers, fluorocarbon polymers, metal, hardened sapphire, and a combination thereof; and a mesa on the first side of the body, wherein the mesa has a second diameter, wherein a center point of the first diameter of the body is different from a center point of the second diameter of the mesa, wherein the mesa of the superstrate and the formable material on the substrate are in contact with each other while curing the formable material, and wherein the mesa comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a glass-based material, spinel, fused-silica, silicon, quartz, organic polymers, siloxane polymers, fluorocarbon polymers, metal, hardened sapphire, and a combination thereof.
