Abstract
Systems and processes for controlling an imprinting process that dispenses a plurality of droplets onto a substrate. Droplet information representative of droplets is acquired. A set that includes droplet parameters of the droplets based on the droplet information may be estimated. Each of the droplet parameters is representative of particular droplets. Prior to a template being brought into contact with the droplets, either any of the set is outside ranges, or all of the set are inside ranges, may be determined. In a first case when any of the set are outside the ranges, then the imprinting process may be aborted prior to the template being brought into contact with the droplets. In a second case when all of the set are inside the ranges, then the imprinting process may be performed with the template.
