Abstract
An imprint apparatus includes: a first driving mechanism configured to move at least one of a mold holder and a substrate holder such that a mold and an imprint material are contact with each other; a second driving mechanism configured to move at least one of the holders such that the substrate is aligned with the mold; a measurement device configured to measure relative positions between a mold mark and a substrate mark in a state in which the mold and the imprint material are not in contact with each other; and a controller configured to control the second driving mechanism based on information of a relationship between a moving amount of at least one of the holders, and change in relative positions between the marks, information of the moving amount, and information of the measured relative positions.
