Systems and methods for shaping a film by: depositing a formable material on a field of a substrate; and positioning a template relative to the field. The template has a mesa with a shaping surface and mesa sidewalls surround the shaping surface. The shaping may further comprise contacting the formable material with the shaping surface. The formable material may spread when the shaping surface is in contact with the formable material. The shaping may comprise exposing the formable material to a curing dose of actinic radiation after the formable material has spread to the edge of the field. A spatial distribution of the curing dose may be such that an interior dose applied at an interior of the field may be greater than a sidewall dose that is incident on the mesa sidewalls.
