Abstract:
1. A manufacturing method of commodities comprising: forming a pattern of a resin on a substrate with an imprint apparatus that holds a mold; and processing the substrate with the pattern, wherein the imprint apparatus comprises: a stage that holds the substrate; a structure that holds said mold; a mold driving unit that moves said mold, relative to the stage, toward and away from the substrate to imprint and release the mold from the cured resin; a first anti-vibration mount that reduces propagation of vibration; a pillar that supports said structure mechanically independently from said stage through said first anti-vibration mount; a stage base that supports said stage mechanically independently from said structure; and a force providing unit that provides, to said structure, relative to the pillar, force in an opposite direction from a direction of force generated in said structure by demolding force provided to said mold by the mold driving unit during releasing of said mold after the resin has been cured.
