Abstract
Provided is an imprinting apparatus that forms patterns sequentially on a plurality of areas of a substrate by using a mold and imprint material. The apparatus includes a moving unit configured to move along a horizontal plane while carrying the substrate, and an adjusting unit configured to adjust an inclination of the mold with respect to the substrate. The adjusting unit adjusts the inclination of the mold with respect to the substrate based on information related to a state of the imprint material provided on the substrate and information related to an order of pattern formation. The information related to the state of the imprint material on the substrate is variable with the movement of the moving unit.
