Abstract:
1. An imprint apparatus configured to press a laminate structure in which a magnetic film and a resist film are sequentially laminated on a substrate, said imprint apparatus comprising: a first press plate configured to mount the laminate structure; a second press plate facing the first press plate adapted for sandwiching the laminate structure with the first press plate; a stamper made of a non-transparent material resistant to a pressure more than 10 MPa and placed on a surface of the second press plate facing the first press plate, the stamper has projections and recesses configured to be transferred onto the resist film; and a light source configured to be disposed on the same plane as the laminate structure, and to be oriented so that the light source can emit UV light onto and cure the resist film after commencement of the pressing of the laminate structure with the first press plate and the second press plate to form an imprinted laminate structure, wherein the stamper is configured to be separable from the imprinted laminate structure.
