    摘要: An imprint system transfers a pattern formed on a mold to an imprint material supplied onto a substrate and includes: a formation unit configured to form a desired substrate-side mark including a predetermined material by applying the predetermined material onto the surface of the substrate and then transferring the substrate-side mark on the predetermined material and processing the substrate-side mark, wherein a difference in a predetermined optical property between the predetermined material and the imprint material is larger than a difference in the predetermined optical property between the imprint material and the substrate; and an alignment unit configured to align the substrate-side mark including the predetermined material and a mold-side mark provided on the mold.

    摘要: An imprint apparatus for forming a pattern of an imprint material on a substrate using a mold includes a plurality of alignment scopes and a control unit. The control unit controls aligning of a shot region of the substrate and the mold based on outputs from the plurality of alignment scopes. Each of the plurality of alignment scopes outputs information indicating a relative position of a first mark selected from a plurality of first marks in the shot region and a second mark selected from a plurality of second marks on the mold. The control unit controls aligning of the shot region and the mold based on information excluding incorrect information from a plurality of pieces of information output from the plurality of alignment scopes.

    摘要: An imprint apparatus is operable to perform an imprint process, which is for forming a pattern on an imprint material on a substrate by using a mold, for each of shot regions of the substrate. The apparatus includes a controller configured to control alignment between the mold and the substrate. The controller determines a target position obtained by adding a predetermined additional amount to a movement amount of a substrate stage according to a positional deviation between the mold and the substrate, starts movement of the stage towards the determined target position, and starts curing of the imprint material by a curing device at a timing at which the detected positional deviation falls within an allowable range during the movement of the stage.
