Abstract: A simulation method of predicting a behavior of a curable composition in a process of bringing a plurality of droplets of the curable composition arranged on a first member and a second member into contact with each other and forming a film of the curable composition on the first member is disclosed. The method includes defining a computational grid formed by a plurality of computational elements so that a plurality of droplets of the curable composition fall within one computational element, and obtaining the behavior of the curable composition in each computational element in accordance with a model corresponding to a state of the curable composition in each computational element.

Abstract: The present invention provides an imprint method of forming a pattern of an imprint material on a substrate by using a mold, the method including obtaining, before bringing the mold and the imprint material into contact with each other, a correction parameter for correcting deformation of a pattern of the mold caused by bringing the mold and the imprint material on the substrate into contact with each other, and reducing the deformation of the pattern of the mold by moving at least one of the mold and the substrate by a moving unit configured to relatively move the mold and the substrate in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate in accordance with the correction parameter in a state in which the mold and the imprint material on the substrate are in contact with each other.

Abstract: An imprint apparatus performs an imprint process of forming a pattern on a substrate by bringing a mold into contact with an imprint material on the substrate and curing the imprint material. The apparatus includes a detector configured to detect an arrangement relationship between the substrate and the mold, and an adjuster configured to adjust the arrangement relationship based on an output from the detector. The adjuster adjusts the arrangement relationship in a state in which a vibration is applied to an imprint material between the substrate and the mold, and then further adjusts the arrangement relationship in a state in which the vibration is not applied to the imprint material between the substrate and the mold.

Abstract: An imprinting apparatus can form a pattern of an imprint material supplied to a substrate with a mold. The imprinting apparatus includes a substrate holding unit configured to hold the substrate, a mold holding unit configured to hold the mold, and a control unit configured to control the mold holding unit that changes an inclination of the mold while the mold is kept in contact with the imprint material based on a position in a surface direction of the substrate where the mold contacts the imprint material, in such a way as to reduce a relative inclination between the mold and the substrate that may occur if the substrate holding unit inclines when the mold is brought into contact with the imprint material.
