Abstract
An imprint method for imprinting a pattern of a mold onto a resin material on a substrate. The imprint method includes a step of forming a processed area in which an imprint pattern corresponding to the pattern of the mold is formed, and an outside area formed of a periphery of the processed area, by bringing the mold into contact with the resin material formed on the substrate, so that a portion of the resin material is extruded from the processed area into the outside area, a step of forming a protection layer for protecting the processed area, and a step of removing a layer of the resin material in the outside area, while the imprint pattern formed on a layer of the resin material in the processed area, is protected by the protection layer, so as not to be removed.
