Abstract
An imprinting template, an imprinting system, and an imprinting method for imprinting a pattern in a formable material on a substrate. The template includes an edge region that surrounds a pattern region. A full height represents an absolute value of a distance between top surface and bottom surface of the pattern region. The edge region extends to an edge of a mesa of the template. A portion of the edge region may be at least a full height below the top surface of the pattern region. An area of the portion of the edge region may be at least large enough to prevent formable material that is between the template and the substrate from extruding out beyond the edge of the mesa.
