Abstract
An imprinting method includes dispensing a first liquid on a first region of a substrate. The first liquid is a photocurable resist precursor. A second liquid is dispensed on a second region of the substrate. The second region is adjacent to and surrounding the first region. The second liquid is non-photocurable as dispensed. The first region is then irradiated with light while a patterned template is being pressed against the first liquid. The light cures the first liquid and forms a resist pattern corresponding to the patterned template. The patterned template and the substrate are then separated from each other. The second liquid is then selectively removed from the substrate while leaving the resist pattern on the substrate.
