Claim 10:
11. An imprint method of forming a pattern on an imprint material on a substrate using a mold, comprising:
a contact process of bringing the imprint material and the mold in contact with each other,
an alignment process of performing alignment of the substrate and the mold after the contact process, and
a curing process of curing the imprint material after the alignment process,
wherein, before a start of the alignment process or in parallel with the alignment process, a first operation to provide the first light that deforms the substrate for alignment of the substrate and the mold is performed, and wherein, after the first operation, a second operation to provide the second light onto the substrate, that partially cures the imprint material is performed in parallel with the alignment process, and after the second operation, a third operation to provide the first light onto the substrate that deforms the substrate is performed.
