  • Patent number: 9829789
    Abstract: A determination method for determining a pattern of a mold is disclosed. The pattern of the mold is used in imprint processing of forming a pattern on imprint material by performing the steps of pressing the imprint material on a substrate against the pattern of the mold in an atmosphere containing condensable gas to be liquefied due to compression, curing the imprint material, and releasing the mold from the imprint material. A processor calculates a shrinkage amount of the pattern on the imprint material. The pattern on the imprint material shrinks by desorbing condensate liquid, which is produced through liquefaction of the condensable gas between the imprint material and the pattern of the mold in the pressing step and which is dissolved in the imprint material, from the imprint material after completion of the pressing step.

    Abstract: An object is to provide an imprint method or an imprint apparatus that not only reduces the time for filling with resin or reduces pattern defects, but also reduces the surface roughness of resin. An imprint method brings a resin on a substrate and a mold having a pattern into contact with each other to transfer the pattern onto the substrate. The imprint method includes a step of bringing the resin on the substrate and the mold into contact with each other while a space between the substrate and the mold is filled with a predetermined gas, a step of curing the resin while the resin and the mold are in contact with each other, and a step of separating the resin and the mold. The predetermined gas contains a first gas having a solubility of 0.36 mol/liter or more in the resin and a second gas having a solubility of less than 0.36 mol/liter in the resin, at 20° C. and a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
