Method of creating a turbulent flow of fluid between a mold and a substrate

A method of introducing a fluid between a mold, disposed on a template, and a substrate, said method comprising:

• introducing a plurality of flows of said fluid at differing regions about a periphery of said template to produce a turbulent flow of said fluid between said substrate and said template, with said turbulent flow moving a portion of said fluid in said flow between said mold and said substrate to minimize gases positioned between said substrate and said template.

A method of introducing a fluid between a mold, disposed on a template, and a substrate, said method comprising:

• introducing a flow of said fluid into a region adjacent to said template and in superimposition with said substrate to produce a turbulent flow of said fluid between said substrate and said template, with said turbulent flow moving a portion of said fluid in said flow between said mold and said substrate to minimize gases positioned between said substrate and said template.

A method of introducing a fluid between a mold, disposed on a template, and a substrate, said method comprising:

• depositing a plurality of spaced-apart discrete droplets of a polymerizable material on the substrate;
• and
• controlling a turbulent flow of a fluid between droplets disposed on the substrate to minimize movement of the droplets and to minimize gases positioned between the substrate and the template.

A method of introducing a fluid between a mold, disposed on a template, and a substrate, said method comprising:

• depositing a flowable region on the substrate, wherein the substrate is substantially planar;
• and
• controlling a turbulent flow of a fluid between the substrate and the template to minimize gases positioned between said substrate and said mold.
