Abstract
The present invention relates generally to photolithographic systems and methods, and more particularly to systems and methodologies that modify an imprint mask. An aspect of the invention generates feedback information that facilitates control of imprint mask feature height via employing a scatterometry system to detect topography variation and, decreasing imprint mask feature height in order to compensate for topography variation.
