    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to methods and apparatus of processing transparent substrates, such as glass substrates. In one implementation, a film stack for optical devices includes a glass substrate including a first surface and a second surface. The film stack includes a device function layer formed on the first surface, a hard mask layer formed on the device function layer, and a substrate recognition layer formed on the hard mask layer. The hard mask layer includes one or more of chromium, ruthenium, or titanium nitride. The film stack includes a backside layer formed on the second surface. The backside layer formed on the second surface includes one or more of a conductive layer or an oxide layer.

    Abstract: Methods of forming optical devices using nanoimprint lithography and etch processes are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes depositing a first resist layer on a substrate, the substrate having a hardmask disposed thereon, imprinting a first resist portion of the first resist layer with a first single-height stamp, etching the first resist portion of the first resist layer, etching a first hardmask portion of the hardmask corresponding to the first resist portion of the first resist layer, removing the first resist layer and depositing a second resist layer, imprinting a second resist portion of the second resist layer with a second single-height stamp, etching the second resist portion of the second resist layer, and etching a second hardmask portion of the hardmask corresponding to the second resist portion of the second resist layer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for fabricating optical devices. One embodiment of the method includes disposing a structure material layer on a surface of a substrate and disposing a patterned photoresist over the structure material layer. The patterned photoresist has at least one device portion and at least one auxiliary portion. Each device portion and each auxiliary portion exposes unmasked portions of the structure material layer. The unmasked portions of structure material layer corresponding to each device portion and each auxiliary portion are etched. The etching the unmasked portions forms at least one optical device having device structures corresponding to the unmasked portions of at least one device portion and at least one auxiliary region having auxiliary structures corresponding to the unmasked portions of at least one auxiliary portion.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to processing a workpiece containing a substrate during deposition, etching, and/or curing processes with a mask to have localized deposition on the workpiece. A mask is placed on a first layer of a workpiece, which protects a plurality of trenches from deposition of a second layer. In some embodiments, the mask is placed before deposition of the second layer. In other embodiments, the second layer is cured before the mask is deposited. In other embodiments, the second layer is etched after the mask is deposited. Methods disclosed herein allow the deposition of a second layer in some of the trenches present in the workpiece, while at least partially preventing deposition of the second layer in other trenches present in the workpiece.
