Abstract

An imprint lithography method of configuring an optical layer includes depositing a set of droplets atop a side of a substrate in a manner such that the set of droplets do not contact a functional pattern formed on the substrate. The imprint lithography method further includes curing the set of droplets to form a spacer layer associated with the side of the substrate and of a height selected such that the spacer layer can support a surface adjacent the substrate and spanning the set of droplets at a position spaced apart from the functional pattern.
