Abstract
A system and method for shaping a film on a partial field including determining an initial contact point. Receiving information about: a partial field of a substrate; and an edge of a patternable area of the substrate. Determining a chord that connects intersection vertices of the partial field and the edge. Determining coordinates of a bisecting line, wherein the bisecting line bisects the chord, and the bisecting line is orthogonal to the chord. Determining an initial contact point range on the bisecting line in which a template and formable material on the substrate contact each other. Contacting the formable material in the partial field on the substrate with the template at an initial contact point within the initial contact point range.
