Abstract
A planarizing method includes dispensing formable material onto a substrate, positioning the substrate relative to a substrate chuck by contacting the substrate with a first protrusion of an engagement mechanism, the engagement mechanism being disposed adjacent the substrate chuck, contacting a superstrate held by a superstrate chuck with the formable material, thereby forming a film of formable material between the superstrate and the substrate, curing the film of formable material to form a cured layer between the superstrate and the substrate, and initiating a separation front between the cured layer and the superstrate by contacting the superstrate with a second protrusion of the engagement mechanism.
