Abstract
An imprint apparatus that forms a pattern of a resin on a substrate that includes a plurality of substrate-side pattern regions by using a mold. The imprint apparatus includes a first mechanism applying a force to the mold to thereby deform a mold-side pattern region of the mold, a second mechanism heating the substrate-side pattern region to generate an uneven temperature distribution within the substrate-side pattern region for deforming the substrate-side pattern region, and obtaining shape difference information between the mold-side pattern region and the substrate-side pattern region, to control a shape of the mold-side pattern region by using the first mechanism based on the obtained shape difference information and controlling such that an uneven temperature distribution is formed in the substrate-side pattern region by using the second mechanism based on the obtained shape difference information.
